Season 3 never came and the show was cancelled.

Based on Bandai Namco's Pac-Man video game franchise, it is the second animated series to be based upon the game franchise, following the 1982 TV series. The show aired from June 15, 2013 to May 25, 2015, running for two seasons and 52 episodes.

The family lives in Pac-Land, a place in which the geography and architecture seem to revolve primarily around sphere-like shapes. Most episodes of the series center around the ongoing battle between the Pac family and their only known enemies, the Ghost Monsters: Blinky, Inky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue.

For 14 and up it makes a great date movie or you can even enjoy it as a family with 14 and up kids, but be advised it is a very violent and sad movie along with a lot of profanity so use discretion.

Ghost Rider is a supernatural, action film with superheros, and targets adolescents and younger adult males. The special effects are impressive and the film contains some quite witty humour, but some of the scary images and violence could disturb younger children.

Pinky (ピンキー Pinkii) is one of the four main ghosts in the Pac-Man series. She represents as the only female ghost and likes to be pretty. She attempts to ambush Pac-Man by moving parallel to him. In certain continuities, Pinky has been shown to have a crush on Pac-Man, which normally goes unreciprocated.

One of the most well-known accidental endings in gaming, Pac-Man descends into chaos after 256 levels, when an overflowing 8-bit level register causes half the screen to be filled with random symbols and become unbeatable.

It was not until later that they were known as ghosts. Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde were each created with their own distinct personalities so that the game would never get boring yet would have behaviors that players could learn. For instance, Blinky has a chaser personality while Pinky likes to ambush Pac-Man.

Is Pac-Man a villain? ›

No, this is about coming to terms with what our entertainment is telling us, whether by choice or by accident. The Ghosts in Pac-Man have always been portrayed as villains, but they are victims. Pac-Man has always been the hero, but he is a monster.

According to Science Daily, some arcade and video games can effectively boost the brain's working memory by creating structural changes in the brain.

Pac-Man is an action maze chase video game; the player controls the eponymous character through an enclosed maze.

The original target audience for Pac-Man was girls.

In the 70s and 80s, most video games were aimed at boys. The creator designed the game with women in mind. He had no idea that it would end up appealing to both boys and girls.

Avatar is rated PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking which means some content is not suitable for kids under 13 years old.

Great film, but not for kids under 13

I recommend this film to everyone who loves slightly disturbing films and TV shows like me but for anyone under the age of 13 you really should not watch it. It's very gory and contains adult language.

With little to no violence, sound messages of acceptance, and catchy songs and dances, I would recommend Zombies 2 for ages 6 and up.

What age are the Wings of Fire books appropriate for? The series is certainly one for lovers of action, adventure and fantasy. I would suggest they will be most enjoyable for reasonably confident readers from 10 years of age, possibly 9 years if you child is okay with violence and other sensitive content (see above).

Not for kids

This may have been funny in the 80's but it is simply not appropriate for kids. There is a ton of language, sexual innuendos, womanizing, and 2 VERY inappropriate sex scenes.

Kong is rated PG-13 for destruction, brief language, and intense creature violence — so nothing too awful like gore, drug use, or nudity. Common Sense Media suggests the movie for kids 9-years-old and over, which sounds just about right to me.

Is Blinky a ghost? ›

Blinky (ブリンキー Burinkii), also known as Akabei, is the leader of the Ghosts and the arch-enemy of Pac-Man. He is also portrayed as the most aggressive ghost who always chases Pac-Man, and is hard to shake once he starts. He is known to have a short temper, and is good friends with Pinky, Inky, and Clyde.

Pinky has a magenta ectoplasmic body with sky blue highlights, a short bouffant hairstyle (from the 1960s), large eyes with sky blue pupils, violet irises, and black eyelashes, and a skirt that looks like a wavy circle.

In the End, Pac-Man discovers from Apex that his parents are still alive.

Otherwise known as the "split-screen level" or a "kill screen", the Map 256 Glitch refers to the 256th level in the original Pac-Man. On this stage, the right side of the screen turns into a jumbled mess of numbers and letters, while the left side is normal. It is impossible to beat.

The game was created by Namco in Japan, and released in the U.S. by Midway. By 1981, approximately 250 million games of Pac-Man were being played in the U.S. each week on 100,000 Pac-Man machines. Since then, Pac-Man has been released on nearly every video game platform.

Over those many years of playing Pac-Man and its sequels, I've given serious thought to Clyde, one of the four multi-colored ghosts in the original game. Clyde is the orange ghost.

In Pac-Man Party and Ghostly Adventures, Inky has little to no resemblance to his original design; he is very skinny, has twirly hair, and teeth. He is also a darker shade of blue, and is portrayed as being the smartest of the four ghosts.

Also known as South American Horned Frogs, these frogs grow to a massive size and have insatiable appetites. Pacman frogs can live for around 6-10 years, are easy to care for, and captive-bred specimens are widely available. Their large mouths and comical appearance makes them one of the most adored frogs.

Pac-Man isn't just some circular guy eating pellets when he's hungry; he's a victim. He spends the whole game being stalked by murderous ghosts. Ghosts are one of the spookiest entities to meet in horror, up there with monsters and slashers. On top of that, there are four ghosts and just one Pac-Man.

The most notable ghosts are the four members of the Ghost Gang - Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde - who have appeared throughout the series as both antagonists and protagonists. Despite ghosts often being cruel and mischievous, some have been shown to be nice, but most have rejoiced in antagonizing Pac-Man.

Masaya Nakamura, the man who founded Namco and was known as the "Father of Pac-Man," has died. He was 91 years old. Nakamura founded Namco as Nakamura Manufacturing in 1955. Originally a provider of mechanical kids' rides for department stores, the enterprise expanded to arcade games in the 1970s.

Meanwhile, some studies have shown that board games, chess, checkers and analog games appear to help enhance the brain's processing speed and memory.

Is Pac-Man healthy? ›

Encourages healthy competition.

It can help a person to consistently do their utmost best. Pac-Man is a non-violent game, and because players try to beat top scores, it can promote the type of healthy competition that gets players focusing on their own game and improving on their own skills.

Eating ghosts. If Pac-Man eats a Power Pellet, all of the ghosts turn blue. While the ghosts are vulnerable, each blue ghost nets the 400 extra points. Thus, the first ghost is worth 400 points, the second 800, the third 1200, and the forth 1600.

Pac-Dots, also known as Pellets, or Cookies, are easily the most common item in the Pac-Man games. In the arcade version, Pac-Dots are the small, square, white dots, scattered about the stage. In the 3-D games, they are rounder in shape, and are now yellow. Pac-Man is able to eat many of these at a time.

In the Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games, the cherry is worth 100 points. It is worth 1,000 points in Pac-Mania, Pac-Man Championship Edition and the DX edition, but only 300 points in Pac-Man Arrangement.

Pac-Man is a comparatively nonviolent game.

Pac-Man's comparatively nonviolent feature made it stand out among other 80s games. Every other game in the arcade was as violent as it could be at that time. Two world wars mainly inspired the violent trend of arcade games.

Today, nostalgia for the game is strong. The smartphone version is downloaded 20 million times every year by people of all ages, according to Namco — even those too young to have ever walked into an arcade with a pocket full of quarters.

Guinness World Records: Pac-Man is 1% more recognized than Mario in U.S, and Other Facts.

You should note, however, that the movie is rated M. It's darker and more menacing than the first Ghost Rider movie and is too violent and scary for children under 13.

What age is regular show appropriate for? ›

Regular Show is a quirky, fantasy cartoon series targeting older teenagers and young adults. It's unsuitable for children under 12-13 years because of its slapstick violence, intoxicated characters, crude humour, coarse language, sexual innuendo, and racial and cultural stereotyping.

Emotional Themes

Systemic racism, and its traumatic impact, is the central theme of Ghost Boys. Racism is more than simply hateful attitudes and individual acts of prejudice.

You should note, however, that Peter Pan also includes some dated sexist and racist stereotypes. These stereotypes and the movie's scary and violent scenes and themes make this movie unsuitable for children under five years. We also recommend parental guidance for children aged 5-7 years.

Ant-Man is Not a Family Film!

I would not recommend this film to people with children under 12.

In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, the many ghosts and transformations in Ghostbusters are likely to be particularly scary for children under five years.

Not for kids

This may have been funny in the 80's but it is simply not appropriate for kids. There is a ton of language, sexual innuendos, womanizing, and 2 VERY inappropriate sex scenes.

I would say 10 and under this might be a bit too violent and upsetting. It does deal with demons, The devil, and hell on earth as a risk if Ghostriders mission isn't completed. He also burns the souls out of the guilty. Be aware of that, as these scenes can be intense with fiery images of skulls etc.

Lenny Henry's hilarious adventure, The Boy with Wings, is for readers of 9 to 12 and illustrated throughout by Keenon Ferrell. Includes an exclusive comic book adventure illustrated by Mark Buckingham.

All of the ghost boys symbolize individuals and the spiritual legacy of a community of boys who died too soon. The historical context from 1955 to 2012 is what is important.

Is Gravity Falls appropriate for 7 year old? ›

Unless your child doesn't get freaked out by things such as blood and black-I don't-know-what-it-was dripping from possessed animal trophy heads on a wall chanting a curse, then I would recommend this to be 9+. Aside from that, it is a great show with great role models and great messages.

Parents need to know that kids will hear a few instances of very mild cursing and see cartoonish fights between Popeye and several villains, including his nemesis Bluto.
