What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

As part of a branded series with related merchandise and adaptations, it has franchise context, but the story itself is not a sales pitch.

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

The story includes loss and the darker implications of Toothiana's history, but death is not presented graphically or as sustained grief.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Any relationship material is very minor and secondary to the fantasy adventure.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Dark fantasy enemies, danger, and peril affecting children create suspense, though the tone remains appropriate for children.
