Our child-friendly movie reviews look at movies and DVDs with a child’s eye. They’ll help you decide what’s suitable for your child.

Although classifications exist as guidelines, a G-rating doesn’t always guarantee that a movie won’t scare your child or leave a lasting negative impression.

Children under the age of seven are not always mature enough to be able to distinguish fantasy from reality. Every child responds to movies and other media in different ways. Some children can react by copying behaviour they see others act out. Others can develop unrealistic fears and phobias.

How our movie reviews can help you

Our reviews provide a more in-depth description of movie content than the standard rating system. They do this by looking at:

violent material
scenes that young children might find disturbing
sexual references
nudity
coarse language
use of substances.

Each review also includes recommendations on suitable viewing ages, and some issues you could discuss with your child after watching the movie. All of this can help you talk to your children about things that might affect them in that movie.

Our movie reviewers
Qualified child development professionals review all movies rated G (general), PG (parental guidance recommended), and some M15+ (recommended for 15 years and over).

parents should be picky for choosing the right movie for their kids. documentaries or memoir films is also an alternative.

disney movies like to watch them with my kids

you should be aware with the tv shows or movies that you kid is watching. I mean, you can say it's just a cartoon show -no harm. but hey, there are cartoon shows that have explicit contents. just because it's cartoon doesn't mean it's for kids.

you're totally right, kara. Family guy is an example of which! i mean don't get me wrong, i love the show coz it's funny, but i just don't think it's appropriate for kids.

well if you want your child's first words to be "world domination" just like stewie of family guy, then let them watch it. LOL!
