Parent Verdict

Beloved songs and wholesome content for nearly three hours, with one caveat: the final act involves Nazis hunting the family, including a tense escape with guns drawn. Young kids may need the historical context explained. All ages can watch; around 6 is when kids can follow the story and sit through it.
