BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A mother's death, financial hardship, harsh arguments, an injured animal, and the possibility of family separation. The tone is often sad and serious.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
