not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 6; from 5, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 7-9, when you have a little brother or sister who takes up all the room, and you like superheroes. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 7.

What it's about

Wille has always dreamed of becoming a superhero and fight crime alongside his father. This dream is shattered when Wille's brother, Charlie, is born. Charlie gets all the attention, and on top of that, he has superpowers. When a supervillain and an evil scientist enact a plan to overthrow the city, Wille and Charlie must put their differences aside and work together as a team. Can an infant and his envious brother save the city?

Why 6

A supervillain and cartoon weaponsA villain and a mad scientist who threaten the city, police officers who shoot, chases; all played for laughs, nobody gets hurt.
A baby who cries a lotMore than a minute of baby crying, exhausted parents, a big brother who feels forgotten; children's insults like "stupid" or "useless".
Three swear wordsMild French swear words, nothing more; deaths mentioned in passing.

What the movie brings

A cartoon about the arrival of a little brother, seen by the elder: jealousy said without shame.
A baby superhero who makes little ones laugh with his nappies and bottles.
A short film, under an hour and a half, for a first superhero movie.

Watching it together

Before

Nothing to warn about; the villain is a cartoon villain, the crying is a baby's.

After

at 6 and up

Will feels forgotten since Charlie was born: does a baby really take up all the room?
