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

Deep is a family-oriented animated adventure that follows an adventurous octopus named Deep and his friends as they navigate a flooded, post-apocalyptic Earth to save their colony. The film is rated PG for sequences of mild action and cartoon peril involving predators and traps. Parents should be aware of minor rude…

The film contains one brief, very mild scene of suggestive humor where a shrimp character briefly removes her shell while telling her friends to look away.

The violence is stylized and cartoonish, consistent with the animation modifier. Characters engage in chase sequences, dance battles, and skirmishes with predators like piranhas and moray eels. There is no blood or realistic injury shown.

Language is very mild and infrequent, limited to name-calling such as an instance where a character refers to another as a 'fathead'.

There is no on-screen consumption of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco products depicted in the film.

The story features themes of post-apocalyptic abandonment, the loneliness of predators, and the risks taken to save one's community. These topics are handled with a light, optimistic tone suited for children.

Deep runs 92 minutes, directed by Julio Soto Gurpide, released in 2017.
