Classifications for movies (2)

PG

• PG means Parental Guidance. These films may be unsuitable for younger children around the age of eight.
• As long as the film is appropriated there are no themes prohibited at PG. Smoking, drinking, bullying are not seen in PG movies and if they are there must be a clear message that it’s bad.
• There can be some bad language in PG movies but if it gets to heavy it will move on to the next category.
• If there is not too much detail references to sex are allowed because they child will also not really understand it.
• Violence is allowed as long as there are not a lot of details and we can’t see the injury. Scary and jump moments are allowed as long as it doesn’t show realistic violence or horror.
• Dangerous behaviour which a child could copy will not be seen in a PG movie.
• There should not be a strong focus on drugs in these movies.
