Hmm, my initial thoughts were that they'd released a movie where ariel takes simba from behind with a strap-on shaped like a dalmation. I was quickly disappointed, obviously. Next time, OP, do a little research before you go to a film. Just because it's disney doesn't mean it's appropriate for little kids. Take the pirates trilogy, for example. Fairly kiddie by adult standard, but certainly not flicks ya'd take the toddlers to see.
You, ChristmasChild, are not to blame. Its the F***ed up rating people. Oh, hey, a Disney Film! PG. Decapitation you say? Pishposh, those brats will heal fast. Oh, an ANIME movie next? A man holds another mans hand!? R R R R R R R!
See the problem? All the rating people are heavily bribed rich Victorian Englishmen

I'll politely disagree. I'm Australian and therefore have a different set of ratings to you people in the U.S.Baby Tea said:
Our R rating doesn't fuck around, and people know this and treat it accordingly. The american R rating, on the other hand... Well lets just say the matrix, which got M 15+ recommended (the equivilent of PG13) here, got R in the states..the same rating as fight club. I don't really think to two depict a comparable level of violence/language/themes, do you? If the ratings were consistant then people would have meaning, as it stands now it might as well be randomly assigned.
At any rate is isn't unfair to expect a movie with a PG rating to have mild violence, mild innuendo and/or mild language. Having not seen the film I can't really judge if it's better or worse.
Truth there brother.Apocalypse Tank said:
Funny story about under estimating ratings like this. A mate of mine works with an after school care group and during their holidays program last year they went and saw Bridge To Terrabithia. End of story.. cinema packed with crying kids aged 6-10.. My mate still holds it to be one of the worst days of his life.
That reminds me of this one time a woman brought her little son to see a movie & got the wrong room. & I'm like "excuse me ma'am, is your son old enough to see House on Haunted Hill?"
Aladdin, Alice In Wonderland and The Lion King beg to differ.Pyronox said:
Once upon a time they made good films with a lot of creative thought - and on one occassion James Earl Jones.
Although I have to agree with that analogy of today's Disney. Lilo & Stitch. Now that was a pointless movie.
Don't blame the MPAA, blame the stupid parents on CARA (Classification and Rating Administration) board members... who are parents. http://www.mpaa.org/FilmRatings.aspFrank_Sinatra_ said:
I would say, blame branding and marketing types. Disney is portrayed as a family friendly company with most of it's products being innocent and pure and all that bollocks.
I just went through their Annual Report to try find a mission statement.. they don't have one :S http://corporate.disney.go.com/investors/annual_reports.html
Our family (being fans of Tolkien) watched Fellowship together. About an hour in, my mom and sister both became grossed out and left.fix-the-spade said:
Tron was PG. Fellowship was PG. Um... Shouldn't movies that have the same ratings contain about the same type or amount of questionable content?
Ratings have always been messed up. Perry Mason is a great show, but it features smoking, drinking and implied intimate relationships absolutely everywhere, not to mention the high mortality rate that dirtbags have on that show. Despite all this (and the mature nature of the show in general) it's been rated "G," or whatever equivalent exists wherever you happen to be.
The Cromartie High School manga (I think) has been rated "Older Teens," despite the fact that the only objectionable content is random people getting hit and a few swear words, as well as some mature themes (like the humor based around meeting people you've known in the past while checking out adult material at a rental place, or having a member of your family discover and organize your cache of adult books/magazines.)
Personally, I consider this content much less objectionable than a lot of other "Older Teens" mangas. Even the "all ages" DBZ manga has decapitations and dismemberment.
well It happened, just be sure to research more, it may be Disneys, may be the Ratings boards, or it may be yours, dont lay blame, learn and try not to Repeat History
