Why it’s a little special

Lyrical songs and expressive landscapes make a visually rich musical. Watch with room to discuss the difference between a romanticized story and the history that inspired it.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Know the story.
Know your little people.

General audiences

US film rating

Racism, threats of war, gun violence and a character's death. This highly fictionalized story substantially changes real people and colonial history; it should not serve as a history lesson.

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