Space Cadet.

An astronaut and the robot who raised her learn how to be apart.

Celeste has grown from a curious child into a scientist ready for her first solo mission among the stars. Her departure leaves the robot who cared for her with an unfamiliar empty home. While Celeste navigates a dangerous journey, memories of their life together help both of them face change, loneliness and the possibility of finding their way back to each other.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The official US PG rating cites mild action and thematic elements. Space hazards, separation, aging, loss and loneliness may feel intense for sensitive children. The gentle visual style does not remove the emotional weight of a caregiver growing older and a child leaving home.

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