What parents need to know

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).

Educational value: Tips on making movies and how to use various equipment for recording. A list of moviemaking schools and camps is also provided.
Positive messages: Comments on videos are monitored and need to be positive or at least constructive.
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 applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
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?

Is it any good?

This is a safe haven for future moviemakers and current movie junkies: All videos are prescreened for inappropriate content and viewer's comments are monitored for positive user-to-user interaction.

title too long try on the bottom.
Preschoolers can be on juniors, 4-7 would be on Kids, fun to be on Maniacs for 8-12, but 13+ won't care too much for this site
