Why We Rated This for Ages 6 and Up

The good stuff

• Educational value:

  The show reminds kids that kindness and generosity are keys to getting ahead in life.
• Messages:

  Casper’s kindly nature leads him to help others in many different ways. He’s a loyal friend who stands up for causes that he believes in, and he even works hard to get along with troublesome classmates. On the other hand, a boy often teases and bullies other students, and many students -- including Casper -- get into mild mischief like setting off stink potions in the school.
• Role models:

  Casper is a great model of kindness and fairness, and he always strives to be a good friend. His behavior outshines even the adults on the show, who are generally portrayed as selfish and demanding. 

What to watch out for

• Violence & scariness:

  A zombie sometimes loses her detachable body parts, but they're easily replaced, and there’s no blood or gore. The fact that the characters are ghosts, zombies, etc. might scare some sensitive or very young kids.
• Sexy stuff:

  Two girls occasionally flirt with a boy.
• Language:

  Some mild name-calling, like “ugly mug.”
• Consumerism:

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

  Not an issue.
