I think its great that some young people can enjoy, and communicate and get around in the game. However its missing the point.
The majority of youth of similar ages cannot. The genre of the game is not designed for pre-teens (does not mean you cannot play, but the question is pertaining to game design). If you want a comparison, go try Toontown, it was designed for the younger computer game players. The most violent moments of this game are a mechanical looking cog/business man blowing his top in a shower of springs and sprockets. Squirting flowers, throwin pies, and dropping pianos on heads for weaponry.
The POTCO game on the otherhand has multiple adult related subject matters that they simply 'brush over' and try not to make too obvious so that the younger players can participate and most parents do not find issue with it. The movies themselves were rated PG, the 10+ rating the games been given i'll bet was likely 'worked' by alot of suits (ie lawyers) as Disney wants the game to be kid friendly also. RUM! They have you making rum in this game. Your wielding deadly weapons! Many of the youthful likely miss a few of the 'buried' jokes in the NPCs storylines that adults catch onto.
I think they WANTED to make a kid friendly game, they TRIED to tame the adult content of the movies accordingly, and they RESULTED in a game still targetting adults but under moderation tactics designed for children.
