Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Pixies is a Canadian animated film based on a graphic novel and short film of the same name. Although the overarching message is that war and violence are never the answer, the message gets lost under the unrelenting slapstick violence inflicted on the humans by the pixies. Friends also treat each other badly, calling each other names and hitting and pushing each other when annoyed. There's some innuendo, hand-holding, and kissing -- and vegans and fans of yoga will no doubt be annoyed by the frequent mocking of their lifestyles.
