Age Rating of Spirited: Parents Guide (7 Big Things)

Your teens and tweens might be asking if they can see this one. The star power is there- Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds! But can they? What is the true age rating of Spirited? Can your kids watch this one? We’re coving the 7 big things parents need to know about the age rating for Spirited in this parents guide.

Each Christmas Eve, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) selects one dark soul to be reformed by a visit from three spirits. But this season, he picked the wrong Scrooge. Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds) turns the tables on his ghostly host until Present finds himself reexamining his own past, present and future.

For the first time, “A Christmas Carol” is told from the perspective of the ghosts in this hilarious musical twist on the classic Dickens tale.

From Director Sean Anders (“Daddy’s Home,” “Instant Family”), written by Sean Anders and John Morris, with original songs by Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“La La Land”) and production numbers choreographed by Chloe Arnold (“The Late Late Show with James Corden”), this modern retelling is a sweet and spicy holiday treat.

A new musical take on the Christmas Carol story.

Parents Guide: Is Spirited Appropriate For Kids Under 13?

As always, you know your child best.

We think Spirited is best suited for kids 11 and up; possibly younger if language is not a deal breaker in your family. That’s really the most concerning content in the show.

There are no fully formed F-bombs or nudity/sexual content, and we think that helps make Spirited more kid-friendly.
