Wolfwalkers: what age is it for? 7 alone, 6 with a parent
7 alone, 6 with a parent.
Official US rating: PG; zinema says 7. In France, zinema would say 7.
Alone, or with you
The official US rating is PG; we never go below it, and here we go above: 7. Alone from 7; from 6, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.
The sweet spot: around 8-10, when disobeying to do right becomes a real question. Why a sweet spot?
The trailer
What it's about
In a time of superstition and magic, when wolves are seen as demonic and nature an evil to be tamed, a young apprentice hunter comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when she saves a wild native girl, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.
Why 7
- Our readingWolves being hunted and a father who shoots at his wolf daughter, in a hand-drawn tale: seven, six with an adult.reading
- Wolves marked for exterminationA hunter and his daughter are tasked with killing the last pack in Ireland; killing is spoken of thirty times, traps and cages are shown, and the father ends up shooting his own daughter turned wolf. Nothing bloody, but the idea weighs.
- Fire and soldiersThe Lord Protector burns the forest and sends his men with muskets and cannon; a night battle with growls and screams.
- A mother locked upThe mother wolf is captured and chained, her daughter cries, the heroine too: the film has several tearful scenes that call for a hand.
What the movie brings
- Two girls, one from the town and one from the forest, who save each other.
- A hand-drawn animated film, like an illuminated book, which children watch differently.
- A father who obeys and a daughter who disobeys, and the film sides with the daughter.
Watching it together
Say beforehand that Robyn's dad will shoot at her without knowing it is her, and that all ends well; the cage scene brings tears.
at 7 and up
Robyn disobeys her father to save the wolves: was she right?
