Parents need to know that one adorable little dog, a playful, sweet, friend to Lassie, is beaten to death with a club by some thugs who steal money from and attack its owner (a kind but helpless dwarf).
You may want to wait until your child is older or skip it altogether.

Lassie isn't just better than the other films currently being marketed for all ages.
Even as it scores with technical excellence, Lassie skillfully dodges many of pitfalls common to movies about animals.
Lassie's ordeal is long and painful.

Great film.
Lassie is a genuine heroine, and Knight's book, the 1943 movie and this one all make us care deeply about whether she gets home.
But the latest movie devoted to the canine legend is, surprisingly, something special.

The Cinema Source
Finding herself in a far away land, Lassie uses her wits to navigate down the isle back to the family that she loves.
I confess that I am not that well versed in past Lassie productions, but my impression was that the film would take place somewhere in the American mid-west and feature a wholesome, picturesque, white-bread family.

TV Guide Entertainment Network,
