Parents Need to Know The bad guy, Jafar, can be pretty scary for younger kids with his sorcery and mind control -- as can scenes in which Aladdin is chased by henchmen with giant swords and mythological monsters. There's also some cultural stereotyping: scheming Arab and Jewish merchants with large noses, for instance.
In addition to the violent scenes and scary visual images mentioned above, Aladdin has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 5-8 years.

Aladdin has a PG age rating for “action/peril.” Aladdin may not be for all audiences, especially those with younger kids. Language.
The story is good and the pace is high. "Aladdin" is not too short and it's not too long, it's not too immature and it's not too mature, it's a perfect movie for the entire family with a wonderful love story (even though it's no "Beauty and the Beast") and good animations with some good looking early computer effects.

Moana isn't suitable for children under the age of 8 years. We recommend parental guidance for children aged up to 10 years because of the movie's violent and scary scenes. The main messages from this movie are to follow your dreams and be true to yourself.
Toddlers and young children who watch violent movies, including Halloween horror films, television shows or video games may be more likely to develop anxiety, sleep disorders, and aggressive and self-endangering behaviors.
There's very little in the way of love and compassion, and LOTS in the way of 90's cynicism. Avoid this one for pre-elementary kids, and wait until they're older if you feel like you need to watch. Recommended alternative: "Monsters, Inc." -- a much sweeter story with good-hearted characters and a positive message.
Disney+ notes that the Kids Profiles limit the content accessible to titles rated TV-7FV and G in the United States. The movies removed from the Kids Profiles previously had disclaimers on them, warning viewers that they may contain negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.
A teen boy is threatened by guards brandishing swords a number of times. Guards tie up a teen boy then hit him over the head with a small club which knocks him out.

But, though those tales were of medieval origin, Aladdin may be a more recent invention. Scholars have not found a manuscript of the story that predates the version published in 1712 by Galland, who wrote in his diary that he first heard the tale from a Syrian storyteller from Aleppo named Hanna Diyab on May 8, 1709.
Films containing an R (restricted under 17) rating by the MPA. Disney never releases R-rated films under the "Disney" brand; all of these films are published by subsidiaries and thus only indirectly Disney-related, and will generally not receive in-depth coverage here beyond pages on the films themselves.
Why is Shrek rated PG? Shrek is rated PG by the MPAA for mild language and some crude humor. A simple tale of an ugly ogre, beautiful princess, and hard hearted ruler. The writers of this computer animated adventure threw in enough original twists and spoofing comedy to make for an interesting watch.
Disney has added a content advisory warning to well-loved family films, such as 1992's Aladdin, that says the stereotypes "were wrong then and are wrong now". The warning advises that there are negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures in some of its Disney+ films.
It's NOT for little ones

One of many enjoyable features to come from the Disney/Pixar collaboration, this G rated movie entertains adults and children alike, while sharing messages about cooperation and accepting others.
Content that may disturb children
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Encanto has some scenes that could scare or disturb children under 5 years.
Her country of origin, for example, has been frequently disputed. While some claim Jasmine is Arab because the movie opens with a song called Arabian Nights, others believe that the architecture in Agrabah is clearly based on the Taj Mahal, making Jasmine Indian.
The youngest princesses are Snow White (14), Jasmine (15), Ariel (16), Aurora (16), Mulan (16), and Merida (16). Even though Ariel famously insists that she's “not a child anymore,” realistically, she is—as are most of the official Disney heroines.
Wait, the Disney Princesses Are HOW Old?!
But still, that doesn't mean when you're watching a favorite like "Aladdin" you're actually conscious of the fact that Jasmine is actually only 15 years old, which would result in Aladdin getting arrested in just about every state in the Union.
