Our take
THE RIBBON HERO is a Netflix anime adventure rated PG for action violence, some language, thematic elements, and brief smoking. A calamity destroys a kingdom early on, and Princess Sapphire fights monsters to protect her new home. Dialogue includes mild profanity and talk of demons and ghosts
Uplifting themes
Hope, courage, and protecting others drive Sapphire as she becomes the Ribbon Hero Princess Sapphire models perseverance and self-sacrifice while defending her new community
