Parents Guide for
Big Fish (2003)

We see the future deaths of two kids later in their lives as adults (from looking in the eye of a witch). One falls from a ladder, while another falls over and off a toilet (from a heart attack) while reading Playboy magazine (all we see is the cover featuring the signature bunny/rabbit design, and we later see this same scene again).

We see the buttocks of two people in the movie, one male and one female. The first scene is the rear view of a woman standing in water just below her lower back. There is also a brief swimming scene where the nude female posterior is seen from a distance and a shadowy close-up of her form is visible for a brief period. The male rear nude scene is presented in a quick, humorous manner.

Karl the giant's breath (in volume) knocks Young Edward down to the ground. Young Edward then throws a large rock that hits Karl, but doesn't harm him. Moments later, Karl slaps away Young Edward's hand.

There is a fight scene which isn't very graphic, but it is somewhat extended and a couple of other brief fight scenes.

At least 3 "s" words, 1 slang term for sex ("banging"), 3 damns, 3 hells and 1 incomplete "Son of a..."

In an imagined and symbolic scene, an adult son takes his ailing father into a river, lowers him down into it and we then see the father's face disappear down into the water. While not inherently disturbing (and it's actually quite touching), some younger kids might not get the symbolism and might find it unnerving.
