Why this age? Fantasy battles, frightening infection themes, emotional distress, and a major character death make this best suited to preteens, despite limited gore and sexual content. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

As part of a heavily merchandised Digimon franchise, the film features recognizable franchise creatures and technology, but it is not primarily an advertising narrative.

Death of a character3/5
Why this rating?

A significant Digimon character dies, and the story treats the event as emotionally painful and consequential.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

No graphic gore is present; injuries are depicted as glowing data corruption or standard fantasy combat damage.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild exclamations, but generally remains polite and appropriate for a teen audience.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Minor, age-appropriate crushes and romantic subtext between teenage characters.

Frightening scenes4/5
Why this rating?

Infection, loss of control, threatening transformations, tense battles, and danger to familiar characters create sustained frightening material.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Frequent fantasy Digimon battles include attacks, destruction, peril, and characters being overwhelmed or injured; violence is action-focused rather than realistic.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience4/5
Why this rating?

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?
