CommentsContains scenes of horror. The material contains mild to moderate impact animated and dark themes, which are presented in a context of a comedic horror drama. Negative themes explore a family living in isolation after being shunned and chased from a village, stereotype prejudice with no justification, family feeling displaced being misunderstood, trying to fit in a community, family under attack, revenge, bullying, family living mysteriously and cruel intentions to destroy a peaceful family. Positive themes explore having a family reunion, family living in peace, forgiveness, establishment of positive new friendships, loving family and protection of loved ones. Overall all negative themes are positively resolved with educational merits. Themes likely to be confusing for children under 10 years are of prejudice, although positively resolved but could cause moral harm to cognitively immature children. The theme of Horror is presented with dark undertones, escalating the overall impact, with unsettling eerie sound effects likely to be disturbing and distressing.
