Hi, we're hoping the Parent Filter content will exist independent of/in addition to formal ratings systems. For example, sometimes a movie rated PG-13 might be perfectly fine for an 11-year-old, and it's up to the 11-year-old's parents to decide if that's the case. But often, the rating gives a very broad description of what's contained in the movie or show. (I know I often feel like I have to see the movie or play the game myself to truly understand what its rating means -- it's time-consuming and sometimes difficult.) The Parent Filter page would be the perfect place for that additional information and specifics about the movie, game, or TV show. So even if a series doesn't have a rating, you as an expert can provide a description for parents of what is contained in the cartoon, and that will help them figure out if it's right for their kids.
