I know what they stand for, I'm just not sure what real difference there is in the content. They generally seem to be basically the same to me.
"All ages admitted. Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children." for G
vs
"Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give "parental guidance". May contain some material parents might not like for their young children." for PG
Mayve I'm not explaining myself properly...
I mean when I see a G rated movie and a PG rated movie, I am not sure what it was that gave the PG rated movie the "higher" rating on the scale. It's already entirely subjective, but if it's rated PG I can't think of any content it would have that a G rated movie would not also have.
Does that make sense?
As a parent with young kids, G movies will literally have nothing scary at all. Both PG or G won't have vulgar words, but PG might have like "butt" or something very minorly offensive.
For example, in Zootopia, there are some "intense" scenes where the animals go feral and chase other animals. The chased animals look terrified for their lives. This can cause some younger kids to get scared/frightened by those scenes. In a G movie, there would be nothing that intense. Zootopia also has some innuendo humor, e.g. the scene where the fox takes the rabbit cop to an animal "nudist" yoga club. G movies wouldn't have that type of humor.
Hope that clears it up for you.
Edit: for the record, the scene in this post was edited and the fox's head position is never like that. I've seen the movie dozens of times, and while there may be some minor sexual innuendo, there is nothing so blatant as this
You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:
Just like society's thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.
Very fair point, thanks for providing further historical context.
There are definitely some older kids movies even that have some, "wtf?" aspects about them by today's standards. Hell, we started watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit a year ago or so with one of our younger kids and my wife and I just looked at each other, "ehhhh maybe this isn't really kid appropriate after all," and turned it off.
Like maybe the cartoon shoe character getting torture murdered or the psychotic killer gloating over the prior killing of the detective's brother
You must not have kids
None that I know of, anyway.
I think usually there’s more crude humor, possibly words like “damn”, “hell”, or “ass”, and it can be a little scarier/darker in PG movies versus G. But I agree that it seems pretty arbitrary and there’s no public list of what’s allowed in each that I’ve been able to find.
The reason there's no public list is the MPAA literally has a secret team called CARA (Classification and Rating Administration) who review works and assign ratings to them. The members of the CARA team are kept secret to prevent studios from bribing or otherwise influencing the panel members. CARA members are generally given a ton of leeway to assign ratings as they see fit, so while there might be a general practice of one swear word in a PG-13 film for example, this isn't a hard rule. There's also notable examples of CARA assigning ratings that were unexpected
I don't think there really is a difference since the MPAA are a cabal of nutjobs who make decisions out of their asses.
PG just means "you can't get mad at us if your kid gets scared"
