I guess it can be argued that all kaiju is for children, but this one is in the way that the old Gamera films were. The principle human characters are children. The dialog is light and cheery, most of the time. This is not so much about monster battles but kids having an adventure and saving the day.
It's nice and entertaining, but those expecting a typical Godzilla-type kaiju film are going to be disappointed.
