Review of Penguins

Penguins (2019)
6/10
Scary for highly sensitive kids
21 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a bit upset that a G-rated Disney film included a half-dozen moments of peril. Predators try to eat the penguins. Babies get separated from parents. Foreboding music kicks in. Mom and Dad penguins might never meet again. Our highly-sensitive 8 y.o. said, "I hate this movie!" "I want to go right now!"

Had it been PG, I wouldn't have been so surprised by the mild, yet realistic peril. Smart, empathetic kids recognize existential dread.
