What Parents Should Be Aware Of
Parents should be aware that Scaredy Cats is a humorous series with a magic theme. A girl learns that the amulet her father got her for her 12th birthday has the power to conjure up magic and make broomsticks fly. Witches are present in the community and carry out both good and bad deeds, like casting curses and attempting to take Willa’s amulet. A major topic in the novel is the death of Willa’s mother when she was a young girl. The evil witches are not particularly terrifying because they are over-the-top characters. The minor danger and a few mildly unsettling pictures in this show prevent significant scares.
Describe the plot.
In SCAREDY CATS, Willa Ward and her father reside in a town that has certain witch-related secrets. Willa’s dad also gives her an amulet that her mother had left her when she passed away when she gets 12 years old. Willa takes it with joy and proudly dons it when out and about. She quickly discovers that her amulet possesses magical abilities and that certain humans (as well as animals) are attempting to take it from her. Willa learn more about her enigmatic mother? Will she and her friends learn the amulet’s hidden meanings?
Does it hold up?
This comedy, from the creators of Air Bud, features the funny villains and valiant animal sidekicks you might anticipate, but Kevin Zegers’ acting prowess is absent. In this case, the acting is mediocre: The talking animals should learn some lessons from Ratatouille, and the adults play for laughs in a few too hammy ways. There are a lot of spells, adventures, and female empowerment in Scaredy Cats. A child’s connection to her missing parent is made via a mysterious, discovered artefact with luminous cat eyes. Fantastic premise, one that is undoubtedly familiar, and magic always holds the attention of elementary school students.
Children might not be bothered by the subpar performances. This one is generally best avoided by adults. It’s not too, though scary, there are some charming moments, and we could all use a little magic in our lives.
