Photosensitivity Warning

There are short spurts of flashing lights (like lightning) in some scenes.

Language

Strange World is totally clean when it comes to swear words.

There is one “close call” where the swear is cut off- but we’re giving Strange World the “safe for kids” tag because this is as good as it gets lately!

There are some mild insults thrown around, but honestly, nothing that seems relevant to call out directly.

Age Rating of Strange World: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?

For the first time, Disney introduces romance from an LGBTQ+ teen perspective.

There’s flirting, a crush, and discussion about sexual identity- plus a side hug to boot.

Some families may have questions from their younger kids if they haven’t had discussions about LGBTQ+ relationships in the past.

There are some kisses between a married couple.

There is no sex or nudity in Strange World.

Violence and Gore: Is Strange World Too Scary For Kids Under 8?

There is some animated violence and mild peril in the movie. Guns, flame throwers, and knives are all seen in Strange World.

And one jump scare that could take you by surprise.

Creatures chase the characters in the movie which is where the light peril comes in. But there’s nothing too scary for kids in Strange World.

Death of a parent, grief, abandonment, and loss are all covered in Strange World. This could be a way to introduce these topics in a gentle forum with kids.

There’s some potty humor.

There is a scene that implies alcoholic drinking as well.
