What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site has closed its doors. Seasoned animators and novices alike can upload their animation work, art, games, and photos. Then users can view and critique each other's work. There's a filter that seems effective at keeping out the potty talk, and there are strict guidelines for what type of content can't be posted, including obscene, pornographic, hateful, racially offensive, and vulgar content. However, some not-so-good-for-kids content (female cartoons with really large breasts, for example) does get posted.
Educational value:
Fantastic opportunity for teens interested in animation and computer graphics to network and learn.
Violence:
Some submissions, like the game "Kitten Cannon," find humor in pretend violence.
Sex:
Depends upon individual animation, art or game, but some contain slight sexual innuendo (female cartoons with large breasts, for example).
Language:
Site's filter seems to work well.
Consumerism:
Animators are allowed to promote their business within their submissions. Sparse ads on site.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not much, but depends on submission. The game "Beer Tapper Gone Wild" is an example.

Cozy up with cartoons, even let the kids learn a bit!
This is a great site for kiddos. For older ones there's a lot of funny, cute, independent animations (culture them a bit!). If they're on the younger side (like mine) there's a variety of older animations that we used to see on tv (betty boop, gi joe, etc.). It's a nice site to cozy up to and watch a few videos with the family.
There's also a puzzle/tetris type game with the U.S. where you have to put the states in the proper place - good learning tool!
