ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

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.
PROFANITY 1 - Many instances of mild name-calling and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Monsters, pollution, businessmen, understanding and accepting
different people, relationships, journalism, lying.
MESSAGE - Do what you think is right, even if it makes you look foolish to
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.)

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
