Submitted photoHiro (voiced by Ryan Potter) and Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit) star in “Big Hero 6.”

“Big Hero 6”

Rating: PG for action and peril, some rude humor and thematic elements.

What it’s about: A boy genius enlists his fellow nerds, and a cuddly robot, to save the world from a super villain.

The kid-attractor factor: It’s a Disney cartoon with an anime touch.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “The only limit is your imagination.” And “Seat belts save lives. Buckle up every time.”

Violence: Yes, quite a bit for a Disney cartoon — think “Incredibles.”

Language: Disney clean.

Sex: No. It’s not THAT kind of anime.

Drugs: None at all.

Parents’ advisory: Too loud and violent for toddlers, OK for 5-and-up.

“Interstellar”

Rating: PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language.

What it’s about: As the Earth sickens and dies, astronauts set out in search of a place to colonize and save the human race.

The kid-attractor factor: Dark science fiction, with a glimmer of hope — science lessons blended with high-stakes action.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Science is admitting what we don’t know.”

Violence: Yes, deaths.

Language: Scattered profanities.

Sex: A great big kiss.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Too long and talky and science-centric for the very young. Suitable for sci-fi geeks 10-and-up.
