Why We Rated This on for Ages 3 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Adult characters are knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging with the younger group. Friends support one another and share their feelings openly. Female characters hold their own among the boys in school and at play. Lessons in responsibility, dependability, honesty, and friendship are integral to the series.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Animated vehicles sometimes crush inanimate cars -- nothing upsetting.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Parents may find their kids taking a new interest in the monster truck circuit.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks

Parents need to know that the lively characters in this animated series will captivate young viewers -- especially boys -- with their daredevil stunts. Important lessons in honesty, persistence, and friendship are reiterated throughout each episode, but kids will be so busy enjoying the show's action that they won't realize that they're learning, too. The absence of controversial content coupled with clever humor (like when one vehicle makes himself overheat to avoid a test in school the next day) makes it appealing on many levels and to several age groups.

    We love to watch this together!

    My son is 3 and so is my nephew...we all love this show. Sometimes it is hard to find more "boyish" cartoons with a good message, this show achieves that. Good morals and values but still fun for the boys to watch...and even us girls! I hope they continue making this show as I think we could enjoy it for a long time!

    My grandkids love it, has a good message at the end.

    I have two grandchildren ages 4 and 1. They both love the show, and I find that it does have good story lines, with great endings. It also teaches a lesson with each show.
