How this guide was made
This guide uses the film’s subtitles, cast list and plot summary to identify scenes that may scare or upset a child: when it happens, what happens, and how strong it is for ages 5–7 and 8–10.
These subtitles caption sounds as well as speech, so many sound-only moments are covered. A scare that is only shown can still be missed.
Times follow one subtitle release. Another edition or streaming version can run a little earlier or later.
Children under 5 are not rated. If you use the 5–7 marks for a younger child, expect some scenes to feel stronger.
