Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that although this is an animated adventure story, many of the images are scary and our heroes face great danger in scene after scene. The hunted "dragons" are ugly and vicious, and include a giant skeletal monster with blazing eyes, sinister creatures made of sharp needles, and fire-spitting, swarming insects on the attack. Eerie music combined with visual images of dark caverns, a teeming jungle, and crushed cities to indicate the end of the world create what might be a terrifying experience for the tender-hearted. Some mild "bad words" that kids usually find funny are sprinkled throughout, as well.

Content

Violence
Fantasy violence throughout. All manner of monsters, creatures, and dragons on the attack, including flying bats, lizard-like animals with jagged teeth, a giant caterpillar, speeding blobs of massive needles, swarms of fire-spitting flying insects, and an enormously powerful dragon with fiery eyes and sharp claws. The heroes are under siege again and again. Nightmares, scary music, and explosions heighten the danger to a little girl and three "knights" who continually come to her rescue.
Language
Mild potty language: "barf," "doo-doo," "fart," "butt," "butt-wipe," "boogers," "piss," "s--t."
Social
Behavior
Good triumphs over evil; opportunists learn that doing the right thing is always the better motivation; and bravery and belief in oneself wins the day. Even the orphaned "damsel-in-distress" has the heart of a lion and the brains with which to save herself... most of the time. Her guardian, however, has much to learn about being a compassionate, reasonable surrogate parent.
