Disney's Cars (http://disney.go.com/characters/#/characters/animated/cars/)
common sense media says
Fun content for kids eclipsed by ad explosion.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this section of Disney's Web site features characters from the animated film Cars. The site does a good job addressing safety concerns: Parents must activate chat for users under 18, they can manage their kids' accounts, and all text fields are either scripted or filtered. Content is age-appropriate. On the down side, advertising is everywhere -- before videos, in pop-ups that cover up content, and in animated banner ads. (Some ads are for Disney content; others link to outside Web sites.) There's also a Disney store.
Educational value:
Some of the games are educational, testing memory, language, and critical-thinking skills. Other activities encourage creativity.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Chat and other text fields are either filtered or limited to scripted messages.
Consumerism:
There are ads everywhere for Disney and non-Disney products, including commercials before videos and intrusive pop-ups that cover up content. There's also a link to the Disney shop.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
