Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
Very little sexual content: some flirting and discussion of dating.
Violence & Gore
A little comic peril and cartoon violence; in the climactic scene a villain straps a toddler to a chair to catch her screams, and she appears very frightened.
Profanity
The editorial review marks strong language as absent.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Drinking, drugs and smoking are not present according to the source.
Frightening Scenes
The monsters are terrified of children for most of the film, which lessens scariness; the climactic scene where a toddler is strapped to a chair may frighten sensitive kids.

More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
Strong messages about the value of friendship, facing fears, doing the right thing, courage, compassion and integrity.

More for entertainment than education, though kids might learn a bit about factory work and how adults deal with hazards; families can discuss what Sulley learns about kids and how he changes the factory.
