Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob

2021

An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age of chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Fantasy danger, monster attacks, kidnapping, magical threats, and slapstick fights may unsettle younger children, but the tone is comedic and violence is non-graphic. The mystery and deception suit early elementary viewers. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
