What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

The story centers on a robotics convention and android technology, but the supplied material does not indicate product placement or pressure to buy products.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

No specific strong language is reported. A mild family-film rating is most consistent with the available information, but dialogue coverage is limited.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Romance is peripheral: Aunt Mildred is attracted to Bonus and begins a relationship with him.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Kidnapping, replacement by an android, guarded-estate infiltration, laserfire, explosions, and a dangerous robot fight create sustained but not extreme peril.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

A kidnapping, pursuit, guards, criminal threats, and a sustained fight between androids include laserfire, impacts, throwing, and an explosive defeat.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience4/5
Why this rating?

Chip knowingly faces a dangerous prototype to rescue his father, while friends and Kate risk arrest or danger to help him.

Creativity & curiosity4/5
Why this rating?

Android identity, reprogramming, disguises, rescue planning, and inventive robotics provide rich imaginative problem-solving and science-fiction play.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

Features a decent variety of character roles, though limited by 1990s TV norms.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Robotics and android concepts provide light science-fiction interest, but teaching real knowledge is not the main purpose.

Kindness & empathy3/5
Why this rating?

Friendship, family care, forgiveness, and cooperation are important to the rescue, including Chip helping Bonus and Kyle assisting the group.

Positive messages3/5
Why this rating?

The story supports loyalty, trust, family bonds, honesty, cooperation, and valuing people over reputation or using technology to build weapons.

Good role models3/5
Why this rating?

Chip protects his father, Kate helps redirect Kyle toward honesty, and Jonas chooses trust over saving face; some characters are criminals or exploitative.
