G or PG?


What do you think? I believe PG is more possible, because all Disney's latest movies had that rating, and it'll help with the marketing. But Clements and Musker's past works were all G.

The past Disney animated movies since Winnie the Pooh have all had PG ratings so it's a given. From what's known about it so far, I assume that there will be a perilous storm sequence that will endanger Moana when she's navigating the high seas for the fabled island, but it depends on how intense it will be for the MPAA to judge.

From what I know of, only 2 Computer Animated Disney Animated Feature Films have been Rated G. The latest G Rated Disney Animated Feature Film was Winnie the Pooh.

There's been plenty of other Disney Animated Feature Films that had dramatic stuff like a storm, such as Pocahontas, and they're Rated G. PG Movies these days are becoming much more common than G Movies.

Rating standards are so strict now, that if some of the 90s Disney films (all of which were G rated at the time) were released now, they'd probably get slapped with a PG as well. Heck, Hunchback of Notre Dame might even get a PG-13 rating!

The only big recent animated film that I believe got a G rating was The Peanuts Movie. Once upon a time, most animated films with a family audience in mind got a G rating and had to do something rather left field to earn a PG rating. These days, the PG rating is almost automatic. First reason is the ratings boards aren't as lenient with animation as they used to be and second reason is that studios believe that the PG rating brings in a wider audience. Realistically, all of this is just more proof of the lack of mainstream animation respect.

PG... everything is PG now

Most definitely PG. it's nearly impossible to get a G rating anymore because rating standards are so strict. Beyond that, this movie looks like it'll include a lot of action involving giant monsters, which would scare very young children.

They're all PG now, unless it's a Winnie the Pooh movie. I mean, "Frozen" was PG for "peril and some rude humor" which was probably just a troll made of rocks mentioning that he passed a kidney stone.

Back in the early-mid nineties, stuff like "Beauty and the Beast" was rated G, and it showed animated blood. And "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" which featured a corrupt clergyman murdering an innocent gypsy woman on the steps of a cathedral before attempting to throw her baby down a well in the first few minutes of the movie was rated G. And "The Lion King": you can't tell me that Mufasa's cold-blooded murder by his brother was not scarier than Anna and Kristoff getting chased by wolves in "Frozen".

"Moana" will get a PG because it might scare a 2 year-old who can't pay attention to a whole movie anyway.

Tangent: As an adult, I admit I was a little freaked out by the voodoo guy in "The Princess and the Frog" (which actually *was* rated G) because I'm scared of voodoo in general. I'd still let kids watch it, though: if I had to be slightly traumatized by Disney movies when I was little, so do they, darn it.

Tarzan had a hanging scene and dead bodies killed by a Leopard, and that was rated G.

I hope it would be G, but I think it would most likely PG.

reply

PG since cartoon films cannot be G anymore.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

reply

honestly the G rating is so rare now a days that they might as well get rid of it. If a movie has something that could slightly scare a 2 year old who doesn't understand the film anyways or a joke that's slightly rude, it will be PG.

Always follow my rules, even if I don't.
