mahnamahna Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Well PG use to be way too broad that's for sure True! But here's what I consider true PG films: Rango We Bought a Zoo Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban The Goonies Shrek 1 and 2 Antz E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Frankenweenie Coraline Edited September 19, 2013 by mahnamahna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Some films just seem to get rated too low Well whatever don't feel like talking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ice Age 2 could also be considered a true PG film also because of the cussing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 In America, rated G means everyone can watch it while rated PG means that parental guidance is needed. However, so many kids movies today get rated PG that when Rango or We Bought a Zoo come out with a PG, everyone is shocked that there's cuss words, etc. The new Muppet movie has nothing PG rated at all (again, potty humor doesn't require parental guidance IMO) while Ice Age is equal to the Disney Renaissance films in terms of intensity I personally think most kids movies today should be rated G Oh, that makes sense. Our PG is more Parental Guidance recommended, than Parental Guidance needed. Some films just seem to get rated too low Well whatever don't feel like talking about it I second this. Somehow, over here, Riddick only got a 15. Despite the scene where a character gets half his head chopped off and there's a long lingering shot of his bloody remains. And don't even get me started on Princess Mononoke only getting a PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has the oddest PG rating ever. I think they have a grand total of one swear word just to get the PG rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I find it funny that virtually all pg rated animated films released in the US get a U ( equivalent of G) here in the UK. All the shreks, every pixar film with the exception of the first Toy Story and Cars as well as brave, despicable Me, Ice Age. Always U.

baumer Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 How about pg films that should have been R JAWS JAWS 2 There's no way a kid under the age of 14 should be seeing those. Fucked me up for life. Damn you Spielberg! Damn you to hell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) PG films got away with a lot of things back when there was no middle ground between that and R. Edited September 20, 2013 by C00k13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That and gremlins really were too hardcore for PG back then. Gremlins was forced to take a 15 rating here in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
