Parent Note: Please watch the trailer, read the review, and decide if this movie is best for the ages of children in your home. Because it deals with allegory and is a "Content Caution- Yellow" for Kids, although it is a cartoon, there are deep themes within that may be better suited for middle to upper elementary children. However, you know your children best. With you watching alongside and explaining the themes as they go, this could be an amazing adventure for the whole family! We loved it!

Parent Tips:
- Click on Got Questions to learn what an allegory is and how it relates to "the Pilgrim's Progress" or the Bible.
- Activities are included (coloring pages, audio, and musical versions, as well) that you can do, whether you watch the movie or not.
- The "Parent's Guide to Pilgrim's Progress" summarizes the story themes and characters and would be great to have on hand while you watch the film.
- "A Children's Guide to Pilgrim's Progress" is an excellent way to incorporate, "The Pilgrim's Progress" into your school and devotional life with your children. Whenever we homeschooled, I would tailor the lessons to the needs of my individual children, as well, and this is a great resource that you can use to do this with your children, as well, if you so desire.
