Why it’s a little special

Know the story.
Know your little people.

PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The official US PG rating cites language and an injury image. The story includes bereavement, money worries, storm damage, an accident and romantic complications. Its belief that positive thinking shapes events is the film’s viewpoint; families can discuss hope alongside practical help and the fact that hardship is not a child’s fault.

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