General audiences

US film rating

Ghosts, chains and a hooded spirit can be frightening. Poverty, loneliness, a child's possible death and Scrooge's own grave are central to the story.

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