Is the language clean? What is the level of violence, etc.?

Hmm, there's a "gruesome slaughter scene":

Short answer : no. The film starts like a child-buddy movie but gets darker and darker as it goes. The super pig is abused in various way once in the US, and then there are the final 20 minutes... which you cannot forget once you have seen them. Hektor (talk) 12:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Sentience

The plot misses the major plot point is that the super pigs are highly sentient. The cliff rescue at the beginning is there to show that. And of course the slaughter house scenes are all the more poignant because the super pigs understand the fate which awaits them. Hektor (talk) 12:46, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

RE: "Turning Vegetarian"

There's not enough material from the Hollywood Reporter article for a separate section, let alone one titled "Turning Vegetarian" (which is an unencyclopaedic section title to be honest). One would require much more research into this topic to even begin outlining content that's suitable for an encyclopaedia article. Cheers. DonQuixote (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
