Our take
A Netflix animated adventure about a princess reversing a spell that turns her parents into monsters. Cartoon action and scary monster designs appear, but the tone stays family-friendly. A brief wine reference turns up in a song. Best for elementary-age fantasy fans on Netflix.
Uplifting themes
Family love, teamwork and believing in yourself reverse the monster curse The princess seeks help instead of giving up when her parents transform A light fantasy adventure without strong curriculum tie-ins
Story (may spoil tone)
When a powerful spell turns her parents into giant monsters, a teenage princess must journey into the wild to reverse the curse before it's too late.
