Why We Rated This for Ages 9–11

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Honor to one's community, loyalty to one's friends, standing up for the defenseless. However, this message gets overshadowed by other bad behavior and events.
• Violence:

  A villain shoots and kills a beloved character. His death occurs offscreen, and the next scene is his funeral. When the main character is a little boy, his father dies (offscreen) in a fire set by villains. Some characters harshly slap each other in anger or frustration, sometimes leaving visible red marks. Serious cartoon violence with gunplay, sword fighting, and whip wielding, as well as scenes where soldiers burn down people's homes. A character, who has just physically assaulted a woman, seems on the brink of raping her when he is interrupted.
• Sex:

  A male character tries to force himself on a female character in two separate scenes. When she resists his advances, he violently slaps her across the room. In one scene, he looms over her bed as if he is going to rape her.
• Language:

  Characters continually call each other insulting names, such as "moron," "idiot," and "loser."
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Several characters are shown drinking wine or brandy. One character in a position of authority gets so drunk that he unwittingly signs a document sanctioning brutality against his citizens. A character is asked about his family's tobacco fields, and he replies that tobacco is unhealthy so his family now harvests corn.
