    The Nazi flag is displayed prominently in two scenes, and Nazi soldiers are seen marching. The family gets chased by the Nazi soldiers near the end. No one gets hurt or killed. This could definitely be intense for younger children.

    The thunderstorm during the "My Favorite Things" scene might frighten some very young children, just as it does with the children in the movie.
