Synopsis

Points to consider

Words of caution

The option exists for players to eliminate “enemies” (eg. snapping clams) by putting them into bubbles and popping them.
Fish may also be lunged at by scary underwater eels from rock faces that, whilst no contact occurs, cause the level to restart presupposing that the player is now “dead”.
There are cut-away scenes from the movie that some children may find frightening or distressing.
