Way too scary!! I am amazed this is a G rated movie. The villains were the scariest I have seen in a Disney film. My children were terrified. They found the opening scene where the father is kidnapped quite distressing. The story and language went over their heads. I kept having to explain what was happening. In addition to that I thought the story line was a bit dull. Also the review said there is no sexy stuff. There is however a bar scene where a female mouse sings seductively on stage and then changes into a skimpier outfit to end the number. It's very mild sexy but it's there.

good movie... one scene with a drunken mouse but still quite good. quite a fun movie overall

I loved this movie when I was young, but the bat jumping out of the cradle really scared me. I like scary movies, always have, but kids who don't may not like this. If your child is prone to nightmares, wait until they're older to rent this.

We took this movie out of the library when my 5 year old son found it - he loves detective stories. We all sat down to watch it together - parents, son and 2.5 year old daughter. Within moments of the movies starting the nice image of the little girl receiving a gift was broken by this scary peg-legged bat that broke forcibly into their shop with glaring face and razor teeth and kidnapped the father. As the story progressed over the next 10 minutes, the lost and crying girl is found on the street by the Dr. Watson-type mouse and he brings her to the mouse detective - a jumping manic character shooting guns and comparing bullet striations, all the while acting without regard for them. They did not really follow what was going on and both asked us to turn it off. My son then complained of the bat-face being stuck in his head and had trouble going to bed. The next day my son said he was "going to tell the librarian that movie should be PG-13!" While PG-13 would obviously be a high rating, I find the manic and immediate scariness a less than positive experience for young ones, and I'm not sure the story line was going anywhere I wanted them to go when older.
