Charming is officially rated NR. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

Charming is an animated fairy-tale adventure that explores the quest of Prince Philippe Charming to break a curse by finding true love. The film is generally lighthearted and suitable for younger viewers, though it contains moments of slapstick comedy, mild peril, and themes regarding self-sacrifice and emotional…

There is no sexual content. Lenore briefly cross-dresses as a man to avoid detection, which is played for mild comedic effect.

The violence is stylized and slapstick. Moments include a character being kneed in the groin, a brief fight with a group of giant women, and a sequence involving a stone monster in a cave.

There is no profanity in the film.

There is one very brief, non-graphical reference to a potion/spell ingredients, representing the only substance-adjacent content.

The film deals with themes of abandonment, the pressure of expectations, and the weight of a curse. A climactic scene involves an attempted hanging and a character's sacrifice, which may be emotionally intense for very young viewers.

Charming runs 90 minutes, directed by Ross Venokur, released in 2018.
