What Parents Need to Know
About The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
Parents need to know that this retro animated classic features one of the sweetest heroines ever to hit the TV screen. That said, not-so-nice concepts -- greed, violence, revenge -- are brought to the forefront in every episode. If parents take the time to explain these concepts (which potentially could set a bad example), then the show can be taken as silly, fun, exciting entertainment.
