Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Shanti goes by herself into the jungle, knowing that her village is calling for her, and when the toddler Ranjan follows her, she doesn't stop him.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Shere Khan threatens and chases two young kids and a toddler through the jungle in some intense scenes; the kids almost fall into a pit of lava. The snake Kaa almost makes a meal of Shanti.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Mild but somewhat offputting flirting between young kids.
  • Language:

    "Screwy," plus vultures taunt Shere Khan.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how we can sometimes feel divided loyalties and how by being honest with the people we love, we can find a way to be true to ourselves and those we care about. They should also talk about the end of the movie -- is there a better way for Mowgli to talk to his new family about what he is doing? Families should also talk to younger children about the importance of not going off on their own and always letting their parents know where they are.
