Should I sit with them?

We would not put this on for a child under 5 and leave the room. Plan to sit with them at least until 8. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.

Movie -- 2021 -- Netflix

Back to the Outback

Maddie is an inland taipan in a Sydney wildlife park. Crowds scream at Chaz Hunt's deadly-animals show. Jackie, a saltwater crocodile, talks to Maddie like a mum, then gets hauled out after she tries to save Chaz's son from a moat. Maddie, a funnel-web named Frank, a thorny devil named Zoe, and a scorpion named Nigel run for the Outback. Pretty Boy, a celebrity koala, tags along. Chaz hunts them.

At the Australian Wildlife Park in Sydney, zookeeper Chaz Hunt runs a show about deadly animals. Maddie, an inland taipan, is under the lights. Crowds scream. Kids call her a monster. Jackie, a saltwater crocodile in a nearby tank, talks to Maddie like a mum and tells her about the Outback.

Theme. A room screaming at an animal is a lot of sound and shame even when we are meant to side with the snake.

What to say. You might say: 'The show wants people to scream. Maddie is kind. If the fangs are a lot, we skip to Jackie talking.'
