There were 9 of my family that went to this ranging in age from 12-74 and we all enjoyed it. It seemed like everybody was laughing and at times a little teary-eyed. This was the story of love from all aspects. I do not know if younger children would understand that angle, but over 12 would. Also, the old characters are modeled after Kirk Douglas and Spencer Tracy, I believe. Another great movie by Disney and Pixar.
