BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
An ill parent, fears about death, a missing child, mild frightening images, and a brief nonsexual family bathing scene.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
