Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Tips on making movies and how to use various equipment for recording. A list of moviemaking schools and camps is also provided.

  • Messages:

    Comments on videos are monitored and need to be positive or at least constructive.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Lightsabers used in one movie; scary music and masks worn in others.

  • Sex:

    In one movie a girl is called "yummy" when she walks into the room.

  • Language:

    A few words: "sissy" and "sucks."

  • Consumerism:

    There are a few banner ads on the site, but advertising of any kind is not allowed in the videos.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Kidvideos

Parents need to know that this video-sharing portal for kids features kid-friendly homemade videos by kids. Every movie is previewed before posting and must have only G-rated material, i.e., nothing offensive, commercial, or copyrighted. If kids want to do more than watch and share videos, they need to register, which requires a kid and parent's email address (parents activate accounts by clicking on an email link).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about revealing too much about you or someone else online. What's appropriate to show in a video? What's not? Families can also talk about what copyrighted material is and how or when it might be an issue when making a video. Will background music be used? Will recording take place at a public event? Where will the art work used for transitions come from? Does everyone who will appear in the video agree to post it online?
