Wildwood vs Narnia: The Magician's Nephew

Stoplight verdict, recommended age, content meters, and where to watch — for every title you pick, lined up next to each other.

MOVIE · 2026 · PG-13

Wildwood Watch with kid

Youngest OK: 12+
Best ages: 12–17
Parent reviews: 0

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.

MOVIE · 2027

Narnia: The Magician's Nephew Watch with kid

Youngest OK: 8+
Best ages: 8–14
Parent reviews: 0

Greta Gerwig's Netflix adaptation of C.S. Lewis's prequel novel opens in theaters and IMAX on February 12, 2027 and streams on Netflix April 2. It is not yet rated, and the book has dark moments for younger readers.

Bottom line: A prestige fantasy based on a dark-edged creation story, still unrated. Our provisional call is ages 8 and up, with a parent along for younger or sensitive kids, and we will update once a rating and the finished film are available.
