  • Common Sense says

    Irreverent action 'toon has some scary elements.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Violence, not diplomacy, is the only possible solution to the differences between the show's two main groups.

  • Violence & scariness:

    The biker mice are battling the evil Catatonians. All are strong and fight with their fists and weapons (including space/ray gun-style options). The show's animated action-adventure violence is a step up in terms of scariness from older/more classic 'toons: Eyes glow red, werewolf teeth drip, muscles bulge, etc.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Flirtatious relationships and the suggestion of romantic involvement for some characters.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Tie-in action figures and video games are available.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Biker Mice from Mars

Parents need to know that despite this show's silly title and a certain sense of irreverence, it's not a spoof. The titular Martian mice are involved in a violent battle for the one thing that will save their planet, and every episode includes lots of hand-to-hand and ray/laser-gun combat. Thanks to glowing red eyes and dripping werewolf teeth on heroes and villains alike, it's all just a little bit scarier than what kids will see in adventure shows like Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what makes this show different from other cartoons. Why do you think the people who make the show want it to stand out from other series? Kids: Do you find certain parts of the show funny (the good guys' wisecracks, the sound effects that accompany things like bad guys crashing on the ground)? Does that make any of the action less scary?
