Why it’s a little special

A large-scale musical with elaborate sets and a lively enchanted household. Comparing its added character details with the animated version can make an enjoyable double discussion.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Know the story.
Know your little people.

Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Captivity, intimidation, wolf attacks and a violent castle assault. A mother dies of illness in a flashback, and a shooting and fatal fall may upset younger viewers.

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