Whimsical family ties unravel as unexpected allies and dark forces challenge an impending, epic wedding.
Campy. A family watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Disney+.
The thing to know: strong violence, more than a PG usually carries. 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.
Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play.
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
