BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Dogs are abandoned in extreme cold and some die. Falls through ice, injuries, an animal attack and prolonged uncertainty can be distressing for 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.
