Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that although these short films are animated, they're rather violent. In some cases, the violence is no different than that in a video game, but in others the graphic nature of the violence rivals live-action movies. Heads are crushed, a person is torn limb-from-limb, a teenager jumps to his death from a roof, and many characters, men and machine alike, die. Strong bonds of love and loyalty between men and women and friends are also touched upon, but the action often intervenes. A realistic, 3-D animated woman wears a thong bikini, but sexual content is minimal and at most, suggestive.

Sexual Content

Nudity of lifelike animated people.

Violence

Matrix-style violence and warfare.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

Action movie courage and heroics, yet by aggressive means.

Consumerism

If you count the Matrix franchise.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Like the film, the main character is forced to choose a red or blue pill, however, not for recreational purposes.
