įinally, it is implied that a human kills some wolves central to the story, but the actual killing of those wolves is not portrayed. And the lead guy eats cooked mice when supplies run low. Also there are some scenes where animals attack another animal. The only "violence" was a dream sequence when the lead character dreamed he was attacked by wolves - but it was pretty mild. There was no sex, no swearing, no consumerism. But it was NOT sexual in nature and basically caused laughter from my 7-9 y.o. NOTE: There are some scenes where the adult male lead actor is nude from behind. That said, there is drama and excitement and beauty and humor and thought-provoking questions that can be grasped, even by kids who are as young as seven. The movie is challenging, particularly for today's kids, because it is relatively slow and quiet (compared to common kid-oriented fare today), and you need to pay attention to get the message and the humor and all the good stuff it has to offer. Tonight, I watched it with our 7 and 9 year old kids, unsure what to expect. I saw this movie when it came out (many years ago) and remember being impressed.
