B.O.B.'s Big Break (NR)
common sense media says
Monsters vs. Aliens short too much for little kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this short animated film that comes packaged with the Monsters vs. Aliens DVD combines the same goofy characters with conflict and cartoon violence that might be disturbing to very young children. Two creatures attempt to blow up their friend with a bomb. The trio fights against an evil military foe by throwing gelatinous blobs at him and engaging in angry (though funny) exchanges, and a jet goes up in flames. Viewers can choose 2-D or 3-D, and the latter cranks up the intensity.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Positive role models:
When Dr. Cockroach discovers B.O.B.'s ability to read minds, his first thought is how he can take advantage of it to "rule the world."
Violence & scariness:
The conflict between the monsters and the general ranges from slightly tense chase scenes to angry exchanges to getting trapped and hit by blobs. The fiery crash at the end might disturb sensitive kids.
Sexy stuff:
Not applicable.
Language:
The characters mildly insult each other and use words like "stupid" and "party pooper."
Consumerism:
The high profile of Monsters vs. Aliens means kids will see these characters as toys and other merchandise.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
