Wish Dragon is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 7+.

Wish Dragon is an animated fantasy following Din, a college student who discovers a wish-granting dragon named Long. While it is a generally lighthearted story about friendship and socioeconomic divides, it contains mild action, instances of crude humor, and emotional moments involving character peril. Parents should…

Contains occasional mild innuendo, including a scene where a dragon's tail inadvertently strikes a woman, and a few comedic moments involving a boy in boxer shorts.

Features mild, stylized martial arts sequences and slapstick altercations. While action becomes more intense during the climax with a villainous character causing property damage and harm, the tone remains largely cartoonish.

Contains mild language such as 'crap,' 'dirtbags,' and 'son of a cabbage farmer,' as well as a few instances of religious exclamations like 'Oh my God.'

Features a scene where a character mistakenly gets drunk on champagne, showing slurred speech and hiccups; his mother also briefly questions if he has been using drugs.

Deals with themes of socioeconomic inequality, the corrupting influence of wealth, and the emotional weight of family loss and abandonment.

Wish Dragon runs 99 minutes, directed by Chris Appelhans, released in 2021.
