What Parents Need to Know
About Hellboy: Sword of Storms
Parents need to know that this comic book-based, made-for-TV animated movie delivers a big dose of the supernatural. There are plenty of ghosts, spirits, and demons, and one significant episode in which a character is possessed, which could be scary for young children.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it means to be good. The main character, Hellboy, is -- quite literally -- a demon. And although he's been raised by the good guys and taught from birth to combat dark forces, there's no getting around the fact that he looks like the quintessential demonic spirit, with bright red skin, an oversized fist just perfect for smashing things, and a seriously grumpy attitude. How do others perceive him? Why is it important not to judge people based on how they look on the outside? Families who've seen the live-action Hellboy movie can also compare the two films -- which is a better representation of the original comic? Why?

HUZZAH!!! VIVA LA HELLBOY!!!
HELLBOY ROX!!! Hellboy: SoS is an excellent movie, hence the not nice word in the title, it is excellent. If you think Hellboy: SoS might be a little scary (I don't by the way), try Ellen's Acres instead. HELLBOY FOR THE WORLD!!!
