BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Violent persecution, fire, separation at sea, child exploitation, frightening cats, and repeated fears that family members have died.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
