Why it’s a little special

Carroll Ballard's striking landscapes and attention to the animal bond make the journey feel unusually tangible.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Parental grief and sustained wilderness peril, including predators and dangerous water. The possibility of losing the cheetah drives much of the tension.

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