Here are 6 kid-friendly films by Tim Burton

Tim Burton’s spooky sequel to “Beetlejuice” is about to conquer the world.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” opened this weekend with an impressive $110 million at the domestic box office, making it the second highest-grossing September film of all time, according to CNN.

As with most cultural fads, kids will probably want to try Beetlejuice. Is it a kid-friendly movie? That's up to you.

The film is rated PG-13, according to IMDb, because it contains “violent content, macabre and bloody images, strong language, some suggestive content, and brief drug use.” It may be too scary for younger viewers.

“My children, two of whom get scared when they see 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,' would never make it to the end of the movie. They probably wouldn't even make it to the 30-minute mark,” Deseret News writer Meg Walter noted in a film review.

So if you decide Beetlejuice is too scary for your kids — or they're begging for more Tim Burton content — here are six kid-friendly Tim Burton movies rated PG.

1. “Frankenweenie”

When Victor's classmates start resurrecting their pets at an alarming rate, he discovers that the animals are no longer the same as they were before they died.
