The Hunger Games returns November 20, 2026 with a prequel about teenage Haymitch Abernathy in the 50th Games. It is rated PG-13 for strong violence, bloody images and disturbing material, and it deals with children forced to fight to the death.

Bottom line: A PG-13 prequel about teens forced to kill teens, rated for strong violence and bloody images. Our call is 14 and up; a mature 13-year-old who has handled the earlier films may be fine with a parent to talk it through, and it is not for kids under 12.

LAIKA's first PG-13 film is a dark, long stop-motion fantasy about a girl who enters a magical forest to rescue her baby brother from crows. The rating includes bloody fantasy violence and suicide-related material, so it is not a typical LAIKA family pick.

Bottom line: LAIKA's first PG-13 film is dark fantasy, not a typical family pick, and its rating includes suicide-related material. Provisionally for ages 12 and up; wait for our post-release breakdown before taking younger kids.
