I meant the “15” part.

Considering PG-13 exists, I’m pretty sure regular PG is way lower than 15!

Well, at least freaking Cars 2 isn’t rated PG.

@Wiimeiser
Why is the My Little Pony movie rated G in Australia? The film is actually rated PG.

@Wiimeiser
I’m talking about the 2017 movie because the 1986 My Little Pony G1 movie is rated G while the 2017 movie is rated PG. Yes, the G1 movie is technically a prelude to the G1 show while the 2017 movie is based on the the 2010 tv show.

@Wiimeiser
It’s a known thing; there was a time when PG was considered a bit much for teens and most movies were rated G, but once PG-13 was established in the ’80s, G effectively became the sole province of Movies For Kids and PG became the standard.

@Background Pony #AD3E
It was actually rated G here in Australia, though we also gave ANG a PG rating (though given the theming…), America seriously has something against the G rating for some reason.

@BossGriffin
Well, I don’t know the My Little Pony movie ended up with a PG rating like the Transformers movie that is release 31 years earlier. But in today’s world, that’s a meaningless. Almost every animated feature film including some based on animated tv shows like the My Little Pony movie, the Transformers movie, the Simpsons movie, the SpongeBob SquarePants movies 1-3, the Shaun the Sheep movie, the Wild Thornberrys movie and Rugrats Go Wild is PG. And I don’t know why the My Little Pony movie is rated PG by the MPAA for mild action. Violence: Silly slapstick antics are depicted. Dark characters utter death threats, use extortion, attack, take over and destroy a city/kingdom and overthrow leaders and turn 3 out of 4 of them into stone. Characters are kidnapped, taken prisoner, bound in chains, trapped in cages, and/or forced to labor by the main villain of the film. And what’s worse is that I don’t see any characters swearing or saying a curse word of profanity. Which it turns out it does not have any swear words. And I also don’t hear any swear words when was watching the first two SpongeBob movies, Rugrats Go Wild, the Wild Thornberrys movie, The Dora the Explorer movie, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie and the Shaun the Sheep movie (which does not have any dialogue). But I do hear that the Transformers movie have some swearing moments which are provided by Spike Witwicky and Ultra Magnus. And even Galvatron swears after losing sight of the two Autobot shuttles that got away in a deleted quote cut from the final film as shown in the film’s script and storyboards.

You know what?

Dark stuffs showing to kids, if right amount, is actually good, so kids can learn to think more pessimistically to be more careful of life, not to have too much fun and joy.

Who dafaq cares about how it rates.

Screw that, not an animation publisher so yeah.

@BossGriffin
Yeah, even though My Little Pony: The Movie is rated PG and the other five movies in this picture are rated G, I believe that My Little Pony: The Movie is the second feature length based on a tv show made by Hasbro to be rated PG (the first bring The Transformers: The Movie). The G.I. Joe movie is the only one out of three Hasbro tv show-based movies to not be rated. And even though Spike and Ultra Magnus swears in the Transformers movie and Galvatron swears in a deleted scene of the movie, I don’t know if there are any swearing or saying a swear/bad/cursed word in the My Little Pony movie. Especially when the actors of 8 new characters introduced in the movie played characters in various PG-rated live-action movies that contains swearing including The Devil Wears Prada (Emily Blunt), Ant-Man’s 1 and 2 (Michael Peña), the Guardians of the Galaxy movies (Zoe Saldaña), Avengers 3 and 4 (Zoe Saldaña), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Liev Schreiber), the 2010 Wolfman movie (Emily Blunt), Avatar (Zoe Saldaña)cand some live-action PG rated movies that I could watch in the future including the Star Trek Reboot series (Zoe Saldaña), A Quiet Place Parts 1 and 2 (Emily Blunt), Screams 1,2 and 3 (Liev Schreiber) and the upcoming four sequels of Avatar that would be released throughout the 2020s decade (Zoe Saldaña).

@BossGriffin
It’s true. And when I’m watching a kid-friendly movie that is rated PG, I don’t if any of these scenes of these movies have swearing language in it.

What???

I don’t know why the My Little Pony movie is rated PG because this movie may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are mild in impact. PG-rated content is not recommended for viewing by people under the age of 15 without guidance from parents, teachers or guardians. The film should be investigated further by parents. There may be some content such as language, violence or brief nudity, but they aren’t so intense that more than guidance is suggested. This movie is still made for kids because it’s kid-friendly. And I don’t know if there are some quotes and/or scenes of swearing language, gruesome violence and/or brief nudity in this five-year old, 99-minute long, tv-show based movie based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic or any other kid-friendly movies based on kid-friendly shows that I have watched including the Transformers movie, the first two SpongeBob movies, Rugrats Go Wild, the Wild Thornberrys movie, The Dora the Explorer movie, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, and some kid-friendly tv show-based movies that I’m gonna watch in the future including The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 3: Sponge on the Run, the Powerpuff Girls movie, the Hey Arnold! movie, Ben 10: Alien Swarm, the BraveStarr movie, A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow, Up Timmy Turner, the Wizards of Waverly Place movie, the Teen Titans Go! movie, Teacher’s Pet: The Movie, The Shaun the Sheep movie, the Lizzie McGuire movie, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman.

Brutal and Dark

@Background Pony #56CF
Yes, I know all of that, the point I was trying to make was that studios sometimes add explicit content specifically to bump up the rating because G-rating is box office poison for pretty much everything that isn’t from Disney.

Because, again, MPAA is biased and corrupt.

@BossGriffin
Well, the Transformers movie is a kid-friendly movie made for kids. And I mean even though the Transformers movie was rated PG doesn’t mean it had some swearing. And I don’t remember if any animated movies that are rated PG have a little bit of profanity moments. Also, in the Transformers movie, Spike does drops the S-bomb after he and Bumblebee saw that Unicron have survived the explosion of Moonbase Two that the planet-eater have destroyed and later on in the film, when Ultra Magnus tried but fails to open the Matrix of Leadership to defeat Galvatron on Junkion, he drops the D-bomb. Also, there’s a deleted scene of the film of when the Decepticons were in space and they tried shoot down the two Autobot shuttles that escaped Autobot City but failed after Cyclonus tells Galvatron that he lost sight of the Autobots. And like Ultra Magnus, Galvatron drops the D-bomb before says that the Autobots did the same to him when he was Megatron during the Battle of Beta 4. Also, Spike’s swearing was edited out on early American home video releases of the movie, in early European home video releases of the film, and the rerun version of the film which splits into five parts. It also cuts out Magnus’s swearing in the rerun version of the film too.

@Background Pony #56CF
The reason Transformers was rated PG was because of the swearing they added to avoid a G rating.

@TexasUberAlles
Yeah. And in my theory, I believe that Hasbro did the same trick by letting the main villain of a feature length film based off and set during a Hasbro cartoon died by turning into a million pieces. I’m talking about the deaths of Unicron in the Transformers movie and the Storm King in the My Little Pony movie. Except that Unicron is blown up into a million pieces whil the Storm King was shattered/smashed into a million pieces after being petrified. Yep. Both movies were rated PG.

My Little Pony: The Movie is rated PG while the other five movies were rated G.

I mean they did turn the villain into stone and then smash him right to got-dang pieces

@Fair Use (Optimisitc Neighsayer)
Probably because the MPAA is biased/corrupt af

The MPAA has had a ratings creep of every animated film that isn’t Disney/Pixar lately.
