BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Brief language and a quiet, observational style. There is little explanatory narration, so ballet newcomers may want an adult to supply context.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
