PetActing ratings

5/5 Paw Score
A beautiful, almost wordless animal adventure that treats its animals as animals.
Does the animal die?
Reveal answer (spoilers)

No, the animals survive.

No animal is shown dying; several are swept away in danger but the main group stays together. Verify on rewatch.

Is an animal hurt or in danger?
Intense: animals in serious danger or distress

Floods, falls and a giant fish put the animals in repeated peril.

Real animals or CGI?
Animated

Fully animated, with animal behaviour modelled closely on real species.

On-set animal welfare
Not publicly documented.
Tearjerker level
💧💧💧 3/5

Gentle and moving rather than devastating.

Kid-friendliness (animal scenes)
Ages 7+

Wordless and visual, but the flood scenes can be tense for very young children.
