Parents say this film features dark themes, emotional intensity, and frightening imagery, making it more suitable for older kids and tweens rather than younger children. While many praise its beautiful animation and strong messages about courage and a mother's love, others find it a disappointing adaptation that is too scary and violent for the original target audience, advising caution if viewed by those under 8 years old.
