| Kairos | 8 | 1 | 9 | A third party facial recognition software company we used to maintain objectivity. Upload images to the facial recognition demo page to check the veracity of our data set. Or use their API and do a bulk peer review if you'd like. | |||
| Ethnic | 2 | 2 | 2 | 6 | This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables. | ||
| Surname | 1 | 1 | A third party free program that uses US Census data to create an algorithm that analyzes surnames and guesses what ethnicity the person is. Obviously there are issues with this data set such as African Americans who have the last names of their ancestors' slave owner. However, when no other data set is available, this can give a rough estimate and expand the data pool for the less important cast members with no IMDb or TMDb image. Please consider downloading their source code via GitHub to verify the accuracy of our data set, and to peer review our conclusions. | ||||

| Jew | 1 | 1 | Believe it or not, this website is actually ran by proud Jews who just poke fun at themselves. However, they celebrate Judaism and Ashkenazi DNA. Their verdicts are varied and have humorous opinions added, but we filter them into a quantifiable binary Jewish or not variable. Unlike Ethnicelebs, this data set uses religion when determining if a person is Jewish or not, even if they have zero Ashkenazi DNA. | ||||

| Notes | If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose.
Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return. | The "Mixed / Other" categories overlap, and the 2 or more category was not an option until the 2000 Census. So for the combined column, all data will be taken from the "Other" column except for 2000, 2010, & 2020. For those, the average between the "2 or More Races" and "Some Other Race" will be used. | The US Census considers Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Bangladeshi as Asians. At ZR we group Pakistanis with the Arab world. And we group Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi with India because 1.) they are all genetically similar as "South Asians and 2.) there are only a handful of actors from those regions in our database. However, you are viewing the "Asian Alone" category from the US Census when comparing it with Domestic representation. Also note that the 2000 and 2010 estimates include MultiRacial Asians not just "Asian Alone" estimates, and in some categories they include Native Hawaiians as "Asian." So there is a margin of error less than 1% and some inconsistencies with the grouping. | ||||

| Nudity | One character refers to another character as a "sugar daddy" as the character worked in a candy factory The couple is constantly kissing on the mouth throughout the entire movie. The husband jumps and wraps his legs around his wife's waist, rubbing against her body, and purrs like a kitten then the door shuts on multiple occassions during various scenes. The eldest child Tim, hurts his private area by trying to slide down the banister on two occassions, saying 'ouch' when his crotch touches the banister, but proceeds to slide down anyway. as his crotch rubs against the banister. A character says "mother's balls are burning." This is said in reference to balls of yarn but sounds provocative. The comment will likely not be noticed by children. |
| Violence | There are various scenes where the children are imagining violently graphic things happening to their parents all in the hope that they can 'orphan themselves.' In the beginning scene, the cat says "You know..." And we hear a squishing sound then a baby cry. The squish is a little gross. |
| Profanity | None, but there's a moment in the film when the characters stop at a gas station called "The Gas Hole." |
| Alcohol | The parents drink wine throughout the movie. |
| Frightening | The baby that is found at the front door gets away from the daughter and almost gets sliced by an ax that is hanging on the wall. The parents kick the four children out of their home along with an orphan baby and Tim becomes very distraught and upset that they will not be the perfect family that he had envisioned. They are left to wander the streets, almost getting hit by multiple cars in a pileup, and find a home for the orphan child. They then sneak back into their home without their parents knowing. The baby is accidentally thrown into the fireplace in a blazing fire and it appears as though the baby is incinerated but then it is revealed that it is only a ball of yarn that was burned. |
Commonsensemedia Ratinghttps://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-willoughbyslast updated: 2024-05-28Update data | |
| Educational | Meant to entertain rather than educate. |
| Message | Values promoted: determination, imagination, hope. Families (not always biological) come in all sizes, shapes, colors; ingredients are love, security, concern for the welfare of others. "Be careful what you wish for." |
| Role model | Though some mistakes are made, Willoughby kids demonstrate teamwork, creativity, resilience, independence, courage, compassion. Their parents are comically greedy, mean-spirited, irresponsible. Members of the "Orphan Services" are stereotypically overbearing and bureaucratic. |
| Violence | Cartoon pratfalls and suspense: tumbles, crashes, bonks, narrow escapes. Kids imagine their parents in dangerous situations (e.g., sharks, bears). A snowstorm threatens the kids' lives. Comically bad parents mistreat their kids. |
| Language | Some pee jokes. |
