Odd Squad: The Movie

2016

The Odd Squad springs into action when a rival group called Weird Team starts to cover up problems instead of solving them.

Ages 6+Source checked

Why this age? Suitable for most young children, with comic peril, creature attacks, lasers, space danger, mild suspense, and a potentially scary threat to Earth. The story is imaginative and reassuring rather than realistic or graphic. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
