Chara comits suicide for Asriel to take their soul. This alone is PG to PG-13. Second, mass scale death, due to humans and monsters war. While a PG movie could get away with this, there is no way any G rated move could ever get way with. Third, Asriel's death. Asriel is beaten to death. Seems like something we don't want for PG content. Also, Asriel becomes a Flower, who tries to kill himself to be with Chara, but can't because of their powers. Then he kinda goes on a killing spree, trying to do anything possible. (I can't shake the feeling that's familiar.) Those are just some plot points that make it impossible to be an animated film like that.

The only way I see you being able to make it rated correctly is to make it be an anime movie, since anime can be rated R, even with the art style that anime has, that america would make the bare minimum for the rating. However, we would have to wait for a japanese person to make it. Can you even make a japanese cartoon out of a game from america?

Disregard this, it probably can't even happen. Well, they can tone it down, of course. And your focusing on only a few aspects. Plus, Disney has gotten away with lots of dark themes. Maybe say, Asriel is possessed by the soul of an evil human which turns him into a flower (somehow), and decides to become evil. I know that’s stupid (cause I’m bad at explaining stuff like that), but at least something. Or maybe Chara dies of natural causes idk honestly.
