Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The lone adult character is a slightly spacey, hippified mom whose presence in her son's life is minimal. Instead, he gets most of his guidance from a talking cat.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Cartoon violence includes laser blasts, electrocution, explosions, and falls from great heights, none of which results in injury. Lots of scenes featuring monsters, some of which can be scary.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

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

    The main character occasionally uses an asthma inhaler for medicinal purposes.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Monster Allergy

Parents need to know that this animated series includes good and bad monsters of all shapes and sizes, including some who -- by choice -- have crossed over from humanity and joined the evil side. Young viewers may be frightened by monstrous villains or scenes showing humans briefly morphing into monsters. Cartoon violence (explosions, laser blasts from eyes) is commonplace throughout the show and never results in lasting injury. This series offers very little in the way of constructive content for kids, existing mostly as TV fluff.
