In this animated Disney film based on the popular TV
cartoon show, Doug and Skeeter befriend a monster living in Lucky Duck Lake. [1:19]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - We see a boy in his underwear. A boy leans toward a girl and
asks for a kiss (it looks like they're about to kiss as the scene ends).
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Men shoot a robot with laser guns and the robot smokes and
flails a bit. In two scenes, men with laser guns kick in doors and in another scene they
threaten a few people. A monster throws a tree limb past a boy and apparently scratches
his arm (we only see the boy's ripped sleeve). Men shoot a net onto a monster, put ropes
around its neck and hands and drag it away. In dream sequences, we see a monster's foot
stomp on a boy, a monster swallow a boy (we see the boy fall into its stomach and get
covered with goo) and a monster spit up the goo-covered boy; we also see a boy shoot a
laser beam at a monster, causing it to fall down. A car nearly hits two boys and a girl
pushes a boy off a dock into shallow water. A woman smacks someone's hand with a ladle. A
boy runs into a wall several times, falls down a flight of steps and then is hit with a
garbage can; he's not hurt, and the scene is comical rather than violent. A man verbally
threatens two boys.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Monsters, pollution, businessmen, understanding and accepting
different people, relationships, journalism, lying.

others.
(Note:In a cartoon shown before the movie, a bomb explodes in a purse -- a
duck's feathers get a little ruffled, but no one is hurt.)
