“FROZEN”

Rating: PG for some action and mild rude humor.

What it’s about: A princess tries to talk her troubled, enchanted sister into moving back home after an accident with ice.

The kid attractor factor: It’s a Disney princess cartoon musical.

Good lessons / bad lessons: “Nobody wants to be alone” and “Only an act of true love can melt a frozen heart.”

Violence: Fantasy violence, injuries.

Language: Disney clean.

Sex: Flirtation, swooning.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Adults may wish for more hummable tunes, but otherwise, suitable for all ages.

“THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE”

Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some frightening images, thematic elements, a suggestive situation and language.

What it’s about: Katniss and Peeta face the pressures of celebrity while the government worries so much about their growing influence that it wants them dead.

The kid attractor factor: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, great futuristic costumes, an action-packed third act.

Good lessons / bad lessons: “There’s always a flaw in ‘the system.’”

Violence: Summary executions, whippings, stabbings and lots of blood.

Language: Future folk still curse, occasionally.

Sex: Kissing, oddly chaste spend-the-night-together scenes.

Drugs: Drinks, libations.

Parents’ advisory: Like the first film, a very violent action picture that pushes the boundaries of PG-13. Suitable for 13-and-up.
