| Good for a 3.5 year-old boy? Trying to figure out a good movie outing for a rainy day. |

Good luck finding a ticket.
We're seeing the 6:30 show tonight, but booked the tickets on Friday as Saturday''s shows were pretty much all sold out. It's getting great reviews. I highly suspect it's perfect for a 3.5 yo but can't tell you until tonight. |

| I thought it's rated PG? |

Well presumably a child that young will have parental guidance while viewing the film, as I doubt a 3 year old is getting himself to the theater independently. I'm sorry, I don't understand your point. |

| G movies are more appropriate for a 3 year old than PG. Duh. |

Don't be so silly. |

| If you spend a couple of minutes on the Google you can find out why it's PG, and decide for yourself if it's appropriate for your child and your tastes. |

| NP here - "dont be so silly?" I think it's a valid point to question whether a PG rated film is appropriate for a 3yo. No need to rush into everything; they will grow up soon enough. |

I wonder if you are one of the families I've sat near recently who brought young kids to see the Hunger Games, Interstellar, and Into the Woods (which at least is PG but was obviously too long/uninteresting for the kids). |

No. I'm curious why you think a quasi-animated film about an animated bear is similar in genre/rating to these films? Of them, only Into the Woods is PG, and it's a completely different sort of film, with nothing in it to delight a 3 yo. Would you kindly explain your thinking a little bit more in making the comparison? Because those seem like grossly false equivalencies to me. In other words, justify yourself. |

| It's recommended for ages 6-7 and up on common sense media. |

In all fairness, while I do find that site helpful for its very detailed reviews it does tend to run a bit on the conservative side. I would recommend reading the reviews of the film to see what age you personally think is appropriate for your child to see that content, not necessarily just going by someone else's suggested age. If my preschooler had the attention span for a movie in theater I would have no problem taking him to this one. |
