Digimon Adventure

2000

Two children receive a strange egg that hatches into their very first Digimon, leading to the night that would change their lives forever.

Ages 6+Source checked

Why this age? Fantasy creature battles and urban peril are brief and non-graphic, but younger children may find the transformations or monster confrontation tense. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
