This short is a wholesome, safe watch for young children featuring two kids playing a life-size version of the classic Operation board game with their dad. The playful, imaginative content is entirely age-appropriate, and the only flag — a minimal score for playful fantasy violence — reflects nothing more than the harmless, silly nature of the game itself.
