General audiences

US film rating

Puppies are kidnapped because a villain wants their skins for a coat. Threats, rough handling and a dangerous car chase may worry animal-loving children.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
