Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Friendship and camaraderie help a boy feel included and excited about adventures in adolescence.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Slapstick animated humor sometimes involves explosions or aggression by bullies -- such as hanging a boy from a flagpole by his underwear or tacking him to a bulletin board..

  • Sexy stuff:

    Hint of adolescent crushes. Man seen in shower with bubbles covering privates.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About I Got a Rocket

Parents need to know that this futuristic cartoon airs online (primarily at Kabillion.com) and includes commercials. The fast pace and short runtime (each episode is about 12 minutes long) means that there's not a lot of time to build suspense or plot, but kids who want resolution and want it now won't mind. Plus, the brevity of each episode has a "quick fix" upside; maybe after watching, young viewers will want to turn it off and build a play rocket of their own.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the growing popularity of online television. What appeal do online shows have for viewers? In general, how are Internet series and regular TV shows similar and different? What do you like and not like about each? Is this a show that could only exist online, or is it just like a regular TV show? Families can also discuss how Vinnie changes after getting the rocket. Is it just the rocket that makes him seem "cool," or does he have newfound confidence in himself and his abilities?

    Funny traditional Cartoon

    I Got A Rocket has a bit like Spongebob and is wacky and funny. My brother Olly is only five and he loves it as well.
