Grand Prix of Europe

2025

Edda, a young mouse and the daughter of fairground operator Erwin, dreams of becoming a race car driver.

But to do so, she'll have to get behind the wheel herself.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? PG-rated animated action includes repeated high-speed crashes, sabotage, dangerous machinery, peril to characters and a crowd, plus a deceased parent and financial threats; the tone is comic and consequences are limited. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
