It feels like very few animated movies nowadays actually feel like they earned the PG rating

Remember that the original meaning of the PG rating means Parent Guidance and before PG-13 was introduced that's what a lot of movies fall into and nowadays the PG rating feels like a replacement for the G rating even though that its original intended meaning mint some things were in there for older audiences

And many animated movies nowadays feel like they absolutely do not deserve the PG rating and should be rated G instead

and remember the PG rating does not mean kid friendly and in a lot of older PG movies there was a lot of stuff that aren't going to be suitable for kids nowadays

and though there were still some exceptions like Hunchback of Notre Dame being rated G despite having a song where the main villain sings about his lust and hellfire for a woman and blaming him for him sining but that just so happens to be the exception not the rule

and very few animated movies from the past 20 years actually felt that they deserved the PG rating

and also there are some movies that absolutely do not deserve the PG rating at all like the second Paw Patrol movie being the same age rating as Watership Down is definitely wrong like WTF!?

And most modern Disney and Pixar movies don't feel like they've earned its PG rating at all especially Frozen and the first zootopia movie

I remember when PG movies actually require "parent guidance" instead of being G-rated movies pretending to be PG

and also a lot of DreamWorks movies actually deserve their PG rating but there are still some I feel like don't deserve it like the trolls franchise and every single one of illuminations movies don't deserve that PG rating at all and should be rated G

over the past 25 years there are very few animated movies that actually earned its PG rating actually requiring parent guidance instead of it being a G-rated movie in disguise

but it seems like we're now entering the era of PG movies that actually earned their rating

we're starting to see more and more PG movies actually pushing the boundaries and actually acquiring parents guidance like the old PG movies before the PG-13 rating was introduced

Like Conclave and Wicked being successes

and it seems like animated movies are starting to go in this direction as well

and we're going to see more animated movies head in this direction as well

like we already saw with Transformers One has a lot of violence non mild swearing like "Hell" and "Ass" and it's deep political messages that might not be suitable for young audiences so it would actually require "parent guidance" and thus Transformers One is much closer to PG movies back then actually getting away with a lot more stuff than PG movies now

and the Spider Verse films are much closer to older PG movies and tones then than modern ones

and it seems like from what I heard from the rumors zootopia 2 is going to be a lot darker and more mature than the previous film with the main villain actually murdering several characters

and here are some other PG animated movies that earned their rating

-Kpop Demon Hunters

-Coraline

-The Mitchells vs. the Machines

-Wreck-It Ralph

-Kubo and the Two Strings

-Shrek

-The Incredibles

-The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists

and it seems good that we're going into the direction where PG films do not always mean kid-friendly being G-rated films in disguise
