The violence in this film is rather surprising for a PG rated film.
There are multiple stabbings, many offscreen. One man is stabbed onscreen and thrown off a cart, but no or little blood is shown. A character is implied to be stabbed.
A man has a red-hot poker thrown at him and it protrudes from him graphically for about 4 seconds.
Several guards are strangled and stabbed. They fall over, but disappear in seconds. Another is thrown from a tall balcony. These guards appear to fall onto roofs of houses. Non-graphic, no blood.
A man is thrown down a flight of stairs and killed, no blood is shown.
An event is described in which a character is beheaded and his dog nailed to the roof. This event is not shown.
A kindly and afraid character is cut up with blades and shears offscreen.
A caring and kindly female character has her hair pulled back viciously by a psychopathic character.
A group of wolves is thrown off a cliff. Just before this event one of the main protagonists (essentially, Santa Claus) takes the form of a wild boar and is mauled viciously by the same wolves.
A motherly figure dissolves a man-child type character with her ghostly powers.
