Ages 5+Source checked

Why this age? The G-rated film appears suitable for most young children, though sustained fantasy peril, separation, a threatening villainous takeover, collapsing environments, and Gabby's fear of growing up may unsettle very sensitive preschoolers. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
