Parents Guide for
The Golden Compass (2007)

There is no nudity and no sex or sexual references or innuendos.

There is plenty of violence involving the forces of Good vs. Evil. Characters are shot and stabbed and killed. There is a single scene that depicts gore towards the middle/end of the movie. A bear's jaw is ripped off in a fight. Not too graphic, but if you don't know it's coming it could shock. Parents of young or sensitive children should be aware.

There is no profanity.

There is no drug use or smoking. There are some scenes with characters having a glass of wine. In one scene, the child, Lyra, drinks a sip of wine, but spits it out again. In the scene where we meet Iorek he drinks whiskey and talks about being drunk.

There is a fight scene a little more than half way into the movie that could be a bit much for young or sensitive children. A child is seen in a distraught state after having his soul ripped away. There is also a fight seen in the last few minutes of the movie.
