Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    This good old-fashioned mystery caper doesn't seek to teach big moral lessons beyond the obvious reliance on teamwork by "those meddling kids!"
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Scenes of comic peril with an abominable snowman and a threatening avalanche, but there's no real suspense since Scooby and the gang always come out on top

  • Sexy stuff:

    Chaste flirtation between Daphne and Fred; another character goes to extreme lengths to meet her crush -- some might call it stalking, but the subject of the attention is flattered.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!

Parents need to know that this is just like any classic Scooby-Doo tale: There's a shadowy monster, a couple of sinister figures who might be behind it, and the can-do spirit of the teenage gang who regularly split, share, and delegate tasks to solve any mystery that comes their way. A few scenes of comic peril at the hands of the abominable snowman might disturb very young children, but the slapstick action will appeal to a wide range of youngsters. It's nice to see animated Tibetan characters that are rounded and appealing (aside from the scary Tibetan monk).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the scenes of the Himalayas and Tibet. Can you find those places on a map or globe? Do you think the Yeti really exists? Do you think you'd like the ability to stay forever young, as the monk does? What would be the advantages and disadvantages?
