They do state "Language and some thematic elements" but I dont think most people are excepting the amount of it it's alot. They say " bull_ _ _ _ and sh_ _ numerous times and the little girl says you are a d_ck. The son Dylan draws some graphic pictures of decapatation. We have watched a lot of PG movies with my son never one with this much swearing. It was embrassing when my 10 year old said they swear to much it makes me uncomfortable. And the story line is not good for children it's realtionship oriented with long periods of dilogue. I mean Ice Age and Over The Hedge are both rated PG so I think they missed the mark rating this movie PG. Just wanted to let you know that it's not just a friendly little movie about a zoo it's a lot more then that. It's a fine movie if it was rated proper as PG13!
