Scary and poor taste

Wow, I’m really disappointed. First, the sharks are scary. Second, the theme of the sharks attending a 12 step meeting is in poor taste for small children. We are only a third of the way through and they show the dentist office as being a scary place and just in general it seems scary and jarring. I would not show this to a four year old. I’m sorry I did, my mistake.

The violence/scariness is too high to consider it a 5+ maturity rating what the hell are you thinking common sense media? This is so not appropriate for them outside of the postive messages and role models it doesn't have enough educational value to even show them in schools

Wish I didn’t play this for my kids

Stopped this movie about 30 min in. The movie starts with a very scary/sad scene but we pushed through only to reach extremely scary scenes of a shark with large sharp teeth chasing down the fish for what felt like a full 10 min. Would not recommend for sensitive kiddos.

Mom died.

At the beginning of movie your child will be introduced to the idea that mom may disappear forever.
