    Many of the videos on this site are clips from popular TV shows and movies, some of which include action sequences. The scenes may have explosions or animated fighting but are generally appropriate for kids.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

About Zui Tube

Parents need to know that this online video site aspires to be like YouTube, but for kids. All the clips have been reviewed by the site’s editors and deemed safe for young viewers. There are thousands of different clips, divided into different “channels” so they can be easily browsed. It’s a true grab-bag of content, ranging from silly pet videos to exciting sequences from upcoming movies and hit kids’ TV series. Though some of the content is the random, zany stuff that makes YouTube popular, clips from popular media are far more common.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about online video. When video content is easily available online, what’s the difference between TV, movies, and the Internet? Are these different mediums starting to converge? How do you like to watch your favorite shows, on TV, or on the Web?
  • Do you think this kid-friendly site is as entertaining as YouTube? Much of the fun of YouTube comes from the completely random selection of user-generated videos, but this site seems to depend more heavily on clips from TV shows and movies. Which do you think are more fun to watch?
