Do You Need To See The Orginal Movie To Understand the Series?
Willow – the movie- came out in 1988. Your kids may or may not have seen this one on Disney+.
This falls into the “it doesn’t hurt- but not necessary” category.
There is a montage in Willow the series that gives the backstory to anyone who needs it!
Language
There’s a little bit of language in this one, but thankfully most of the dialogue in the Willow series is PG.
Your kids will hear:
- @ss, @sses
- oh g-d
That was pretty much it from the first 3 episodes.
Age Rating of Willow Series: Is It Safe For Kids When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
There is a romance going on between two tweens that involve making out and kissing, once in a bed together.
Some wordplay is used then the Prince is said to be out hunting. “I wonder who he’s ‘hunting’ today?” is said tongue in cheek.
There is no nudity in Willow (first episodes).
Violence and Gore: Is Willow Too Scary For Kids Under 14?
Willow has some action scenes that could be intense for young children.
There are “death dogs” and some scary monsters in the series.
Weapons such as knives, whips, and swords are used, and monster attacks happen in the show.
Deaths happen by sword stabbing mostly.
Is Willow (2022) Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
There are some poop and puke jokes that will either make your kids happy- or make you cringe.
Maybe both?
Dark magic is discussed as well throughout the series- but if you are a fan of the original, you may have guessed that would be a focus here.
Age Rating of Willow 2022 Series: What Ages Can Really Watch This One?
Willow (2022) is rated TV-14 for action-adventure, mild language, and fantasy elements.
But can younger kids watch this one?
Parents Guide: Is Willow (2022 Series) Appropriate For Kids Under 14?
As always, you know your child best. What may work for your family may not be appropriate for others.
We hope the WIllow age rating and parents guide helped set expectations for this series on Disney+.
Based on the first 3 episodes, we think 10 is a good age point for the Willow series, as long as the romance we’ve described does not bother you as parents.
Potentially, kids as young as 7 or 8 may be able to watch Willow, especially if they have seen the first one or shows similar in the fantasy realm.
There are some scary moments that could keep your youngest ones up at night, so pre-viewing this series is a great idea for parents with any concerns.
