“TROLLS”

Rating: PG for some mild rude humor.

What it’s about: Those wild-haired, diminutive retro toys get a backstory, about learning to find happiness in yourself, along with lots of singing and dancing.

The kid-attractor factor: This animated feature is a neon-saturated pop music fever dream with Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake — so there’s no way kids won’t be attracted to this movie.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Never give up, if you fall, get back up again. True happiness is found within, not from a quick fix. No troll left behind.

Violence: The evil bergens are always threatening to eat the trolls. There are a few chase scenes, but nothing too scary.

Language: None, just a few references to farting glitter and pooping cupcakes.

Sexuality: A few shots of troll behinds played for laughs.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: Appropriate for children of all ages.

“DOCTOR STRANGE”

Rating: PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action throughout, and an intense crash sequence.

What it’s about: The latest Marvel superhero origin story — about a neurosurgeon who becomes a mystical wizard to save the planet.

The kid-attractor factor: The Marvel brand name, cool visuals and special effects, and Benedict Cumberbatch should attract older kids and teens.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Surrender your ego and intellect to find your true power. There’s more than one way to save the world.

Violence: Lots of magical throwdowns with spells, world-bending, stabbing and good ol’ fashioned punching and kicking. A scene of a gruesome fall and crash of a character. A few nongraphic surgery scenes.

Language: A few instances of strong language.

Sexuality: An implied sexual relationship between Dr. Strange and Christine, as well as romantic chemistry between them.

Drugs: None (despite the trippy visuals)

Parents advisory: Fine for older kids and teens, but too intense and violent for young children.
