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.

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?

Depends on the child and the film.

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!

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

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
