What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central event is a character's disappearance, but it is handled in a completely non-threatening, game-like manner. The approach is entirely secular and framed as a fun puzzle set up by the professor himself. The resolution is happy and silly, with no real sense of danger or loss at any point.
