Parents say the film is a nostalgic classic that teaches valuable lessons about friendship and coping with loss, but they warn that the emotional weight and intense scenes, particularly the mother's death, may be too much for younger children. Many recommend it's more suitable for kids aged eight and up, as even older children can be deeply affected and scared by its themes of grief and danger.
