Moana, Maui and Heihei all take some light abuse.

One incomplete "Son of a--."

'Moana' is an animation about a sea-voyaging enthusiast named Moana, the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. Together with the legendary demi-god Maui as her companion, she sets sail in search of a fabled island of mysterious secrets.

The film contains some scenes of peril, such as the one in the beginning of the film where Moana and Maui battle an entire army of creatures while at sea. They are seen attacked by the creatures who descend upon their boat with blow darts.

There is also a scene of a crab-like creature attempting to capture and eat Moana and Maui, where the two are seen stuck briefly inside the creature's mouth. However, they manage to escape eventually.

In addition, there is also a fairly prolonged and intense sequence featuring a fiery creature called the lava monster battling Moana and Maui. In the sequence, Maui is seen transforming into several different creatures and severing off the creature's arm with a giant hook.

While the scenes of perils are resolved positively, with little details of injury shown, they are fairly intense.

In addition, the appearance of the lava monster and sinister crab-like creature may also be unsettling for younger children.

As such, parental guidance is recommended.

Official MPAA Rating: Rated PG for peril, some scary images and brief thematic elements
