Extended Classification Information

This joint programme of films was passed 'U' and contain mild threat.

'Up' is a witty, upbeat film, full of comic moments, which serve to lighten the occasional moments of mild threat. The threat is usually from a pack of dogs, led by a stern Doberman, who chase the heroes, and sometimes snaps fiercely at them with sharp teeth. Such moments are always brief, and the old man and boy are always resourceful and brave in making their daring escapes. Any scariness from the dogs is also continually undermined by them being shown as quite silly and easily led - plus the Doberman is often ridiculed by the others.

Their nasty master - the story's villain - sets fire to the old man's house at one point, but it is quickly extinguished with no harm done. Obviously, some young children might be scared of dogs, but the threatening scenes are not sustained, and are well contained at 'U'. account of the presence of very young viewers. The outcome should be reassuring'.

'Partly Cloudy' is an accompanying short animated film with no dialogue, about how clouds fashion baby creatures, to be delivered by friendly storks.The film is very gentle, with no issues that might cause any concern to young viewers.

'U' stands for Universal, which means that we think the film is suitable for audiences aged four or older.
