| Educational Value |  |
"This show intends to entertain, rather than to educate" |
| Positive Messages |  |
"Good and evil are sometimes blurred since Joe and Cody must battle a family member for control of the kingdom.
The idea that destiny determines our path in life stands out, but the character's exert some control of how that destiny is channeled." |
| Positive Role Models | |
"Joe's courage and Cody's sense of loyalty are their best qualities, and their father's faith in them inspires them to greatness in the face of adversity." |
| Violence and Scariness | |
"Weapons include energy crystals, swords that emit electric shocks, and tridents. No blood or obvious injury." |
| Sexy Stuff | |
