What Parents Need to Know

About Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

Parents need to know that this movie, while rated G, may be too scary for younger kids. It also has some crude bodily function jokes which were a big hit with the kids at the screening I attended. I asked a bunch of them after the movie what they liked best, and all agreed that it was the scene with all the burping. The movie has some smart female characters, including Jimmy's mechanic mother, and kids of different races are friends and support each other.

    Fun for Parents and Kids

    Very cute movie. Lots of action, not really violent. A four year old could watch this. A forty year old could watch this.
