Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Jenny the robot wants to fit in, as most teens do, but is so afraid of being the butt of a joke that she makes poor decisions.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Lots of fighting -- many of the villains are female, so that the fighting is among, and against, females.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

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

    Not an issue.

    • Excessive violence

    Not perfect

    It's cute, but violent. Though I like that Jenny is a girl, yet is strong and can fight. I think that she is a good role model for little kids, minus the violence.
