LITTLE DREAMERS · JUST FOR LAUGHS
Hero Mode.
Saving a game studio takes more than one talented programmer.
Teenage programmer Troy is given a month to create a hit video game and rescue his mother’s struggling company. His confidence in his own ideas quickly clashes with the experienced developers around him. With the deadline approaching, Troy must learn how to listen and work with the team whose livelihoods depend on the game.
Why it’s a little special
A workplace comedy with a young coder at its center, connecting an interest in games with lessons about collaboration, respect and learning from mistakes.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The official US PG rating cites suggestive references, language throughout and brief violence. Expect rude jokes, insults and some sexual innuendo alongside mild physical conflict. The family business faces financial failure, and Troy’s dismissive behavior causes tension with adults and coworkers.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
