What Parents Need to Know

About Brandy and Mr. Whiskers

Parents need to know that even though there's no violence in this series, there's no learning about being a strong, kind member of a community, either. Despite its popularity with school-aged kids, it offers little educational content. Although the main characters meet an eclectic collection of animals, opportunities to address social issues pertinent to school-aged child development are ignored in favor of channeling characters into stereotypical personalities that are predictable and tedious.

    • Positive messages

    its good for kids 7+

    For kids 7+ its ok, but with kids younger than that, it may make them want to copy the other characters by being self-centered, and conceited in their personalities. I used to love the show when I was younger, and still can get on the Disney website and play the games that they have for this show, and I can look up their episodes online.

    Not that bad of a show

    This show really isn't that bad. It's pretty smooth and relaxing. Except you made a mistake. This show is rated TV-G. It isn't rated TV-Y. What were you thinking. Did you just guest by random or something. PS: But still great show.
