Family Fit3/5
Faith Score2/4
Ugo Bienvenu's PG animated sci-fi (~79–88 minutes; English dub voices include Mark Ruffalo) follows 10-year-old Arco from a far-future utopia who sneaks a time-travel flight and crash-lands in 2075. There he meets Iris, cared for largely by robot nanny Mikki while parents work remotely amid climate stress. Friendship, courage, and care for creation drive the story; Plugged In and Common Sense note peril, a brief injury image, the death of a beloved robot, Big Bang / old-universe language, and climate themes that need biblical framing rather than secular environmental fatalism.

Language
Parental coverage highlights a clean script with no strong profanity—a notable plus for family animation.
Clean, appropriate language
Adult Content
No sexual content. One odd note from Christian reviewers: Arco briefly wears Iris's clothing to blend in—minor and non-sexual, but worth a quick parent check-in if kids ask.
Family-friendly content
Political Views & Agenda
Climate crisis, distant working parents, and tech/robot caregiving are central. Stewardship of creation is biblical; a purely secular climate narrative is not. Use the film to discuss God's world, human responsibility, and hope in Christ—not anxiety as a worldview.
Some political bias
Non Binary Agenda
No LGBTQ agenda focus reported. Story centers on childhood friendship and family absence/presence.
No non-binary agenda
Biblical Alignment
Beautiful friendship and sacrificial care (especially Mikki) resonate with Christian compassion. However, origins language, heavy climate framing without a Creator, and a mystical-tech future can quietly catechize kids into secular hope. Parents should retell the story with Genesis stewardship and eternal hope.
