Jungle Cruise, the much-awaited Disney movie, is finally here, but with a rating of PG-13. This has caused quite a stir among movie-goers and fans of the Disneyland ride on which the movie is based.

So, why is Jungle Cruise PG-13? Let’s take a closer look.

The Plot

Jungle Cruise follows the journey of Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) and Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson) as they embark on an adventure to find an ancient tree in the Amazon jungle that has healing powers. Along the way, they encounter dangerous obstacles and supernatural forces that threaten their mission and their lives.

Violence

One of the main reasons Jungle Cruise received a PG-13 rating is because of its violent content. The movie features intense action sequences involving guns, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat. While these scenes are not overly graphic or gory, they are still too intense for younger viewers.

Thematic Elements

Jungle Cruise also contains some thematic elements that may not be suitable for children. The movie deals with themes of death, loss, and betrayal. There are also some frightening scenes involving supernatural creatures that could be too scary for young children.

Language

Another factor that contributed to Jungle Cruise’s PG-13 rating is its use of language. While there isn’t any profanity in the movie, there are some instances where characters use mild language that may not be appropriate for younger viewers.

Conclusion

In summary, Jungle Cruise received a PG-13 rating due to its violent content, thematic elements, and use of language. While it may not be suitable for young children, it is still an exciting adventure movie that will thrill fans of the Disneyland ride and action-adventure films in general.
