My 3 year old watches all of them and hums the theme tune to herself at night 😂

There's nothing scary about Jurassic Park! We are all team dino anyway and are pleased when they get fed Grin

Mine have seen Jurassic World and Star Wars - they are fairly robust children though.

Rubusfruticosus I suspect the radio times is not taking account the edits - they don't actually re-certify the film, 'cos the certifications are just for cinema or DVD releases. You might however be right, I see it's actually starting at 7:40 so might be in the "8pm" edits, rather than the earlier one, I thought it was 6pm when I looked before.

There's a reddit thread suggesting the itv2 version had been butchered!

Depends on the child and the film.

It'll certainly be "PG" in that timeslot, may even be a U. RadioTimes says 12, it would say 12a if it was referring to the cinema rating wouldn't it?

We were told to see Jurassic Park by our soon to be teacher when we were 9. I think Jurassic world may be scarier, but it should be less scary on a smaller screen than at the cinema. I would lean towards 8-10 though.

Yes, as it’s 12A for a reason - young kids can see them at the cinema with an adult and I’ve done this. I wouldn’t if I had a child who scared easily or was sensitive though.

The ITV 2 pre-watershed version is edited, it is not the 12A of the cinema. Given its timeslot, I would suspect it's been edited suitable to 6-7 year olds - although any child might be upset by particular themes.

It'll certainly be "PG" in that timeslot, may even be a U.

If I had a 6 year old dinosaur lover, I would.

Mine’s 5 and has seen all the Jurassic park movies several times and lives them. We’re looking forward to the newest one coming out on Now Tv next weekend.
My older dd has not seen any of them as she gets scared easily!
Totally depends on the child and the movie!

Sorry just saw that is was JW. This is one of dd's favourite films ever but I've just asked her opinion and she said if it's fallen kingdom then it's quite scary.

DS is 7 in June and has seen a few 12s, all the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films for a start. He’s not easily scared. We’re watching Merlin (bbc series from a few years ago) on Netflix at the moment and he’s loving it.
On the other hand he’s not allowed video games like fortnite and won’t be.

Yes. My 3 and 5 YO have seen Jurassic World. But they have also watched lots of dinosaur documentaries.

There are other 12A films I wouldn't let them anywhere near!

Only if id watched it first and knew the contents.

Cant remember Jurassic World but my 7 year old is obsessed with dinosaurs but I wont show him Jurassic Park for a few years as its incredibly violent and scary. Lots of suspense too and id be worried about nightmares.

Depends how scared of the man-eating dinos they are likely to get. The lavatory scene is violent and the kitchen hide and seek very tense.
On the other hand there are some beautiful scenes with the docile dinosaurs.

Totally depends on film but my dd is 8 and has been going to watch 12A films with her dad since 6. They are both film fanatics and he does read a lot about the content etc to see it suitable and watches trailers but obviously this is only a snapshot of the film.

Some kids are scared of clowns whilst others are petrified of dinosaurs, I would judge each film on their individual content/genre.
