**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).

## Before you press play

**Length:** 110 min - long for under-sevens

No content flags came back for this one. That is not the same as "nothing in it" - it means nobody has tagged it yet.

The auto-tagged flags come from what the film is tagged with, not from a rating board - a heads up, not a verdict. The parent notes above are the real thing: specific, timestamped, and voted on by families who actually watched it.
