All aboard the Jungle Cruise! Disney‘s latest action caper set sail on streaming and in theaters this weekend, sending Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt on a rumbling, tumbling ride down the Amazon. The film is based on the comedic amusement park ride in Disney’s amusement parks, but does that mean Jungle Cruise is a film made for the whole family too? We have everything you need to know about cursing, violence, and why Jungle Cruise earned its MPAA rating.
Jungle Cruise follows two adventurers at-odds on a shared quest for an ancient tree. Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt) accompanies skipper Frank Wolff (Johnson) down the Amazon in his busted boat, encountering a slew of evil foes and wildlife along the way. It’s much more intense than the Disney ride, of course, but the film is a whirlwind of fun adventure nonetheless.
Is Jungle Cruise for kids, or is this boat ride an adults-only shindig? Here’s everything you need to know about Jungle Cruise‘s rating:
What is Jungle Cruise rated?
Disney’s Jungle Cruise is rated PG-13 — that’s a bit of a different story than the amusement park ride itself, which is for all ages. Keep reading to find out why.
Why is Jungle Cruise rated PG-13?
According to the MPAA, Jungle Cruise is rated PG-13 “for sequences of adventure violence.” That’s a little vague, so let’s dig into the nitty-gritty of Jungle Cruise‘s rating.
There’s quite a bit of violence in Jungle Cruise, but think Indiana Jones-level. Native Amazonians are killed, a villain is squashed, people are stabbed, bitten by wildlife, attacked by big cats. The characters use plenty of weapons, and there are quite a few bees. But this is to be expected of an action movie, so what about the other factors that make a movie not-for-kids? There’s just one kiss and no curse words are exclaimed.
Is Jungle Cruise a family movie? Can kids watch Jungle Cruise?
All in all, if you’re cool with a little wild violence in the Amazon, Jungle Cruise is totally family-friendly. Just know that you’re in for a wild ride on that cursed boat!
Where is Jungle Cruise streaming? How to watch Jungle Cruise:
