Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    There's no diversity among human characters, but the focus of these shorts is less on humans and more on interspecies humor, conflict, and camaraderie.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Mild comic violence, Some scenes achieve a sinister tone, with creaking doors, dark basements, and chilling music.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures

Parents need to know that this is a compilation of three shorts: A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, and A Close Shave. Preschoolers will enjoy lovable-looking Wallace and Gromit, but may find certain scenes too scary. Grammar school kids will be riveted by the special effects and will replay their favorite scenes over and over again. Tweens, teens, and adults appreciate the brilliant humor, special effects, and the action-adventure sequences.

    The Wrong Trousers and Close Shave are both a little scary but not much. Otherwise completely unobjectionable, and really really fun.
