What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

The story is based on Disney's Haunted Mansion theme-park attraction and may encourage familiarity with that branded property, without being a direct buying message.

Death of a character1/5
Why this rating?

The ghosts are characters who have previously passed away, treated in a humorous, non-threatening manner.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Contains brief, mild comedic flirtation.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Haunted-house atmosphere, ghosts, startling appearances, dark corridors, and characters facing their fears create moderate but playful scares.

Violence2/5
Why this rating?

Slapstick puppet comedy violence is present but not realistic or harmful.
