Before you press play
Nobody will hire a wolf with a record. Mr Wolf and his crew -- Snake, Tarantula, Shark, Piranha -- are trying to be good. Diane Foxington, the governor and Wolf's almost-girlfriend, wants people to trust them. Then a snow leopard named Kitty Kat frames them, films Diane's old secret, and makes them steal a rocket so she can pull the gold off Earth. Fast, shiny, rude. Also a funeral where everyone cries and they are not actually dead.

What may feel big
They cannot get jobs. At a lucha tournament a wild boar named Pigtail frames them. Snake's new girlfriend Susan is Doom, a raven; she tranquilises the crew. Kitty Kat, a snow leopard, blackmails them with a tape of Diane as the Crimson Paw. A building blows. The MOON-X rocket launches. Gold rips off the planet. The station falls. Then Commissioner Luggins stages a funeral so they can vanish into secret-agent work.
4-6. Not a fit. Chases, a bomb, space, and a funeral, however cartoony the animals.
7-9. Seven is below this scale. Eight and nine need you, volume down, and skips for the tranquiliser, the rocket, and the funeral. Jokes do not cancel those.
10-12. Ten and eleven still need you nearby. They can follow a heist and still want the fake funeral skipped. Twelve is more often ok. 'Once a con' can sit after if your child already worries about being written off.

If you have not watched it yet
Should I sit with them?
We would not put this on for a child under 8 and leave the room. Plan to sit with them at least until 11. 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.
