'CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS'

Rated PG for mild rude humor throughout.

What it's about: Captain Underpants is a fictional superhero created by best friends who suddenly becomes real and saves the kids from the drudgery of school.

The kid attractor factor: The animated feature is based on a popular series of novels for kids, and the wild humor and themes will draw children.

Good lessons/bad lessons: It's best to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes; art can fight tyranny; always stand up for yourself and others.

Violence: Some light violence (cars hitting characters as jokes), chasing, falling, as well as some scarier sequences involving a giant, evil toilet destroying the school.

Language: The superhero's name is Captain Underpants, so it's rife with toilet humor

Sexuality: They set up their principal and lunch lady on a date.

Drugs: None

Parents advisory: Fun for kids of all ages, but may be intense for toddlers or very young children.
