A shipwrecked boy and a tiger embark on a surreal, uplifting, and epic adventure across the Pacific.
Dreamlike. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Max.
For a PG, this one goes further: strong violence and light gore. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the PG suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
