Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: PG (expect some kid-friendly mild animated violence and veiled Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
Animated versions of Lovecraft and his creations appear together as characters, places, etc. in this film's story. Based on the trailer, this looks like an adventure story very loosely based around affectionate parodies of Lovecraft's life and creations.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
