A '''PG-rated''' film contains slightly more mature themes than a G-rated film, possibly including such scenarios as the death of a pet or some loose familial tension, meaning some parents might want to (but really shouldn't, for the most part) look into the film before showing it to the little ones. Some of the more hard cartoon and slapstick violence is shown at this level, along with milder swear words and sexual innuendo on occasion. Of course, films like ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ''and ''Gremlins'' pushed the limit of PG, leading Steven Spielberg to partner with the MPAA to establish the intermediate rating of PG-13. We'll get to that one later. |

MPAA rating at end of movie clip
A PG-rated film contains slightly more mature themes than a G-rated film, possibly including such scenarios as the death of a pet or some loose familial tension, meaning some parents might want to (but really shouldn't, for the most part) look into the film before showing it to the little ones. Some of the more hard cartoon and slapstick violence is shown at this level, along with milder swear words and sexual innuendo on occasion. Of course, films like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins pushed the limit of PG, leading Steven Spielberg to partner with the MPAA to establish the intermediate rating of PG-13. We'll get to that one later.
The content shown in a PG-rated film can vary, depending on whether it's animated or live-action. Don't let looks deceive you, though. Try comparing Antz to Despicable Me 2. As stated above, PG-rated films were allowed to be a lot edgier back then. Even films like E.T. had their distinctions. Do you know how many parental watchdog groups would rip their nuts off if they heard something like Elliott's retort of "penis breath" in a modern day PG film? It'd be hilarious how worked up they'd get. The 80s comedy films Beetlejuice and Spaceballs, which share their rating with E.T., a lighter movie in tone, were even allowed to drop an F-bomb or two! Nowadays, PG films can contain strong language yet, though most of it is in context. MANY animated films will carry this rating, as well as faith-based and live-action family films that don't entirely suck (see G rating.)
