Like most Pixar movies, there is nothing seriously objectionable for parents to worry about. However, some scenes may scare kids, which is why I recommended it for 6+. But if you edit out just the right scenes, it's appropriate for as young as 2 years of age.
A clown fish sets out to rescue his son when he's caught in a net and taken to an aquarium. Some scenes of danger are brief and reassuringly resolved, meaning this film is suitable for all ages.
Additionally, Moana the character is a good role model for girls as she shows leadership skills, strength and independence. Moana isn't suitable for children under the age of 8 years. We recommend parental guidance for children aged up to 10 years because of the movie's violent and scary scenes.
Dory has a panic attack at one moment. This can be very powerful and sad for many people. This film is less intense than its predecessor, since it sometimes adds some comic relief to the intense scenes. On December 17, 2023, I heard that Finding Dory might get a G re-rating.
Finding Nemo contains cartoon action violence. The violence is often meant to be funny but could be scary for younger children, especially with the 3D effects. For example: A scary-looking barracuda with long sharp teeth attacks Marlin and Coral.
Amnesia in the movies. The character Dory from the movies Finding Nemo and Finding Dory is an example of a movie character who has amnesia, or memory loss.
Finding Nemo is the best-selling DVD title of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006, and was the highest-grossing G-rated film of all time before Pixar's own Toy Story 3 overtook it.
The protagonist, Nemo, displays a small, or "deformed," fin that is a congenital result of a fatal attack on his mother and sibling eggs—a corporeal characteristic that the story surrounds, yet does not drown in.
“Finding Nemo” can be used to jump-start the natural interest that children have in ocean life, coral reefs, and marine biology. It also teaches lessons about friendship, obeying parents, and avoiding dangerous situations.
However, some scenes may scare kids, which is why I recommended it for 6+. But if you edit out just the right scenes, it's appropriate for as young as 2 years of age. That being said, there are some young kids I personally know that were traumatized by this movie, so watch out if your kids are sensitive viewers.
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Encanto has some scenes that could scare or disturb children under 5 years. For example, Bruno sometimes looks like a mad, crazy person with wild hair and dark shadows under his eyes.
Lilo and Stitch is rated PG, no5 for language, but for mild sci-fi action. Other western countries such as Finland, Norway, and Switzerland gave this film that incidated it's not appropriate for children under 7. Keep in mind, these countries are cultural more liberal than the US, even in 2002.
It is entertaining and fun for adults as well as children. The movie does have themes of parental loss and separation and some scary scenes, which younger children might find very frightening. Therefore it isn't recommended for children under 6 years, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 6-8 years.
Another dark Pixar theory suggests the animated film predominantly set under the sea is meant to showcase the tragic loss in the eyes of a husband and father. More specifically, the theory posits that Nemo never existed in the movie, and instead was a figment of Marlin the clownfish's imagination.
Finding Dory is a 2016 American animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Lindsey Collins and written by Stanton and Victoria Strouse, the film is the sequel to Finding Nemo (2003).
It's quite obvious that Dory has anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. I also see many of the signs of ADHD within the character.
Nemo is a given name, nickname and surname. It is Latin for "nobody", and may refer to the Outis alias that Odysseus used to trick Polyphemus in The Odyssey.
Dory, from Pixar's Finding Nemo, is a kind-hearted regal blue tang who struggles with short-term memory — a common problem among children and adults with ADHD.
Nemo is a boy at the moment. He's referred to repeatedly as 'son' in the film, and clownfish start out their lives as male anyway. He may at some point in his life turn female - clownfish start out as male and then can turn female as conditions require - but that's not shown in the scope of the movies.
In addition to the above-mentioned violent scenes, there are some scenes in this movie that could scare or disturb children under the age of five, including the following: Remy is separated from all of his family early in the movie. He repeatedly calls out to them and appears alone and scared.
Dory was initially supposed to be a male character during the pre-production of the film. Andrew Stanton admits to struggling with a writing block upon the character. That was until he overheard his wife watching an episode of the sitcom Ellen.
Dory suffers from severe short-term memory loss, but a lot of what she goes through can be adapted to other contexts, such as the world, or ocean, of ADHD. Dory has trouble with multi-step directions, is easily distracted, and is very impulsive.
Dory is the third female protagonist in a Pixar film, the first two being Merida and Joy. She is also Pixar's third titular character, the first two being Nemo and WALL-E, and the second titular character to be a protagonist overall, the first one being WALL-E.
