What Parents Need to Know

About Wonder Pets: Save the Beetles

Parents need to know that this gentle and entertaining caper of three heroic classroom pets is buoyed along by their trademark operetta song style with a heavy Beatles influence. The three tiny pets know they're not tough or big, but are equally sure that working together as a team, they'll be successful.

    Decent Content, but BABY talk galore

    This is a cute movie, however they characters speaks "baby" talk. They have whiney little voices! The music is catchy...there is a lot of repetition. The themes are teamwork and helping others. Overall the movie is harmless...but if my son starts talking like them I think I'll go crazy.
