Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest: parents' guide

3+our pick

Best for ages 3 and up. Rated TV-Y.

A cozy, mildly spooky Halloween special that's fine for preschoolers. George hears the legend of No Noggin, a headless scarecrow said to knock people's hats off at Halloween, and sets out to solve the mystery while getting ready for the town's Boo Festival and costume contest. A haunted house, some shadowy effects and a friend who seems to be chased by an army of pumpkins add a little spookiness, but everything is handled with gentle humor and turns out to have a sensible explanation. There's no bad language, romance or violence beyond slapstick tumbles.

What's in it

Violence

None

No violence beyond slapstick: George tumbles into a pile of leaves and the Man with the Yellow Hat falls down some stairs, with no one hurt.

Language

None

No profanity, insults or name-calling of any kind.

Sex and nudity

None

No romance or sexual content at all.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

None

No drinking, smoking or drug use.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

The tale of a headless scarecrow and some brief, shadowy haunted-house effects may unsettle very sensitive preschoolers, but the mystery has a logical explanation and the tone stays light.
