Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Fantasy action includes pirate attacks, kidnapping, dangerous rescues, frightening threats to Earth, and a parent affected by grief, but the animated treatment is generally non-graphic and reassuring. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

As a franchise film, there is general brand presence, but it is not a direct advertisement for products.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

The backstories of the siblings involve the past death of their mother, which is discussed as the motivation for the antagonist's actions.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Likely limited to mild name-calling or playful bickering in this family adventure; the supplied sources do not include enough dialogue to confirm frequency.

Why this rating?

Some tense moments during pirate attacks and the threat of planetary destruction. Suitable for most children.

Violence3/5

Repeated fantasy action includes pirate attacks, confrontations, rescue attempts, and characters fighting to stop a dangerous plan; violence is adventure-focused rather than graphic.

Why this rating?

Treasure maps, a moving technological island, time-traveling pirates, space travel, and inventive rescue plans strongly encourage imaginative thinking.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

The cast includes diverse roles with their own motivations, such as the siblings Flock and Sarah, though the core group follows standard tropes.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Incidental exposure to concepts of space and time travel, but mainly entertainment-focused.
