Parents say that while this film is a classic and beloved for its storytelling, it contains unexpected strong language and some intense scenes that may not be suitable for younger children. Many reviews highlight the emotional depth and nostalgic appeal, but caution against showing it to sensitive viewers under age ten due to its occasional frightening content and the potential for bad language to be noticed or absorbed.
