What Parents Need to Know

About Ever After

Parents need to know that some profanity in the theatrical release has been removed to secure a PG rating for the video, but there is still one expletive. There is some action violence and a sad on-screen death. The plot may be a challenge to younger children, especially those expecting the story they know, so it's a good idea to prepare them for the differences.

    Simply incredible!

    I rate this title on for age 6 and give it 5.0

    This is one of our FAVORITE movies. The beginning scene where the father dies might need some pre-discussion with younger children.

    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate language

    A very lovely movie

    This is a very lovely movie. I first saw this with my Grandmother on video and recently bought it for myself on DVD as a result! I think the PG rating should stay where it is because of some violence, an extremely sad death and one sware word. The plot is magnificent and way better than the original disney cinderella. All the actors are brilliant and well chosen. Love this movie heaps!

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    I've lost count of how many times I've seen it!!!! Over fifty thats for sure...

    I love it! It's so great! The amount of sexuality in it is very small, The only amount is when one stepsister tries to be all sexy, but even this is switched to a good thing becuase the prince is turned off by her. He, just like all other men want to CHASE, not BE CHASED.
