Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
A teenager is sent back in time to save King Arthur's court
from chaos.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Some hugs and kisses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A young man falls down a tunnel during an earthquake and
he is chased in a couple of scenes and threatened with death (with knives at his throat).
A princess is kidnapped at knife point. There are several fighting scenes (with lances and
swords), a jousting tournament with people being thrown off their horses and being carried
off. There is also a cartoon before "A Kid in King Arthur's Court" called
"Runaway Brain" that has cartoon violence: Mickey and Minnie Mouse are chased by
a big monster/dog that becomes a rabid Mickey clone and they scream, run and fall from
great heights.

PROFANITY 1 - One sexual reference, one anatomical term and a couple of mild
curses. [profanity glossary]
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.
