What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

As a Disney franchise film, it may support ordinary merchandising, but the supplied material does not indicate prominent brand placement or direct purchase pressure.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Very mild language consistent with G-rated television.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

A one-sided crush and dating-related themes appear, with Isabella kissing Phineas near the end; romance is secondary to the adventure.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Children and a pet face capture, pursuit, an evil cyborg, a robot army, a monster, and possible being eaten, though the tone is comic.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Frequent cartoon battles, robot attacks, chases, captures, explosions, and inventions used in combat; violence is fantastical and largely non-injurious.
