Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.

  • Role models:

    Great acts of bravery and friendship by an otherwise small and vulnerable character. Loving family depicted with humor and heart. A character who lies changes his ways and wins friends as a result.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Scenes of mild peril for wild animals. A mysterious forest beast may be slightly scary to very young kids.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Very mild bathroom references by a skunk.

  • Consumerism:

    Quick shout-outs for animal products manufacturer Hartz and the Animal Planet channel.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
