What Parents Need to Know
About Hatching Pete
Parents need to know that this entertaining, squeaky clean Disney TV movie has plenty of positive messages. Pete's journey from uncertainty to self-confidence is an excellent example for tweens struggling with their own identity woes, and the movie offers lots for parents and their kids to discuss about friends and peer pressure. Content-wise, there's little to worry about aside from some mild flirting that results in a brief kiss.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about kids' relationships with their peers. Kids: Have you ever felt, like Pete, that people don't notice you? Do you want to be noticed? If so, what do you do to make that happen?
- Do you ever feel pressure to behave or believe a certain way because of what your friends are doing? Why is it hard to stand up to peer pressure? Who do you turn to for support?

Good movie for people who are shy
I like this movie because I'm shy, and I feel this would help me come out of my shell. It's all innocent and good for any kid. Actually, I really like this movie because I feel I can relate to Pete, unlike many characters in movies.
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
It is kind of stupid!
The commercials even make the movie stupid.
