Hop

2011

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Generally light family comedy, but repeated cartoon peril includes a character threatened with boiling, conveyor-belt blades, capture, crashes, and a frightening mutant villain. Some emotional conflict and slapstick may trouble younger children. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

Some mild name-calling and occasional rude language, consistent with the genre.
