Parent Verdict

The gold standard of family films, but don't underestimate its scares — the Wicked Witch and her flying monkeys have frightened generations of preschoolers, and the tornado sequence is intense. There's nothing else objectionable at all. Most kids are ready around 5, with a parent nearby for the witch scenes.
