Ages 13+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent fantasy combat, serious threats to children and the world, frightening monsters, destructive battles, implied deaths, and intense transformations support a teen recommendation despite comic humor and limited gore. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

The film is part of a major franchise with recognizable branded characters and merchandising potential, but the story is not primarily an advertisement.

Mild, comedic references to Bulma wishing for beauty enhancements (longer eyelashes, butt lift).
