Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The multicultural cast includes two African-American characters in main roles. The lone parental figures are goofy and out of touch with both reality and their son. As a counselor at his son's junior high school, the dad enjoys good-naturedly mocking students and drawing attention to his son's lack of popularity.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Occasional cartoon violence includes blows to the head and exaggerated falls, but there's no injury.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Mild flirting between two characters.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

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

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Out of Jimmy's Head

Parents need to know that this follow-up series to the Cartoon Network's original movie Re-Animated continues the story of a tween who can see and communicate with cartoon characters. While the adult characters are still a bit detached (mom's always busy with her space travels, and dad is a junior high counselor so out of touch that he could use some counseling of his own), the main character is now slightly more confident and able to stand up against peer pressure. Parents may not buy into the far-fetched plot, but there's nothing here, content-wise, to keep tweens from tuning in.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it's like to get picked on by peers. Tweens: Have you ever been the brunt of jokes from classmates? How did it feel? How did you respond to it? Did it affect your self-confidence or make you look at yourself differently? Do you usually judge yourself by others' standards or your own? Have you ever picked on anyone else? If so, what made you do it? Why do you think people are so judgmental of others? Families who've seen Re-Animated can compare the movie and the show. Which do you like better, and why?

    Worn Thin After the Movie

    Re-animated was a fairly decent movie. But strangely, though, take some oddly new and unfamiliar actors for characters that have been used (and by different actors/actresses, may I just point out quickly) and some immature humor (rambunctiousness and screaming. Typical Mad-Cow effect on the mind) with a quick dash of unrealistic elements (i.e., a roller coaster in the house and seeing things that nobody else can) and you have this show in a nutshell. Positive messages on friendship appear infrequently, but when there is, the migraine-inducing screaming from the other main and supporting characters merely washes it away.
