Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    A young boy is thrust to the forefront of a longstanding rivalry between good and evil. His adoptive father and mentor is fiercely protective of him but can do nothing to stop his involvement in the battle.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Mostly fantasy in nature, as the enemies are usually robots of some kind, but there's a lot of punching, kicking, falling, and knocking opponents into walls. Human injuries are rare, and those that do occur are quickly resolved, but robots are often broken into pieces or left smoldering on the ground.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Very mild flirting between a boy and a girl.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Eon Kid

Parents need to know that there's plenty of violence in this cartoon series about a boy involved in a battle between good and evil. Since he has a powerful robotic arm, expect lots of hand-to-hand combat (punches, kicks, hurling enemies into walls) and occasional firepower. But it's usually the robotic enemies who suffer the most -- human characters' injuries are rare and short-lived. There's not much else to worry about in this series, but it doesn't have obvious positive messages, either.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about violence in cartoons. Is it different from live-action battles and fights? How? What if more of the victims were human instead of robots? Families can also talk about responding to change and adversity. How does Marty react to his new role and responsibilities? How would you feel in his place? Kids: Have you ever been put into a role or situation you didn't expect? How did the experience change you?
