Top 10 G-Rated Disney Movies that Should've Been Rated PG
The MPAA sometimes don't know what they're talking about.
Really? Out of all the Disney animated movies, this one deserves to have a PG rating the most! I mean, come on! There isn't a single moment in the film that would give it a G rating! Except maybe the Gargoyles. Which are, ironically, the worst thing about the movie. Hunchback is best known for its dark tone. The villain of the film, Frollo, is one of Disney's darkest villains! He attempts to burn down Paris! The Hellfire scene is quite possibly the darkest moment in Disney history! The climax was pretty intense too! Especially Frollo's death! He literally falls to hell! There are so many dark elements in this movie! And yet movies like Frozen, Inside Out, and Finding Dory all get PG ratings. Doesn't make sense to me.
This one is actually PG in Canada. Yes, CANADA, where things are usually much more lenient. Though it does seem a bit odd to have this and Suicide Squad under the same rating, I respect the Canadian ratings board for being like "Wait...this is dark as hell."
This should have been a PG-13 at most... G is too little, while the people say it should be R, there is no blood or colored in breasts
Hey guys remember when PG actually meant something? Yeah me too
I'm pretty sure this movie's target audience was people who grew up with the first two Toy Story films. So I don't see why they didn't make it a PG film. Still, Toy Story 3 is a fantastic film that children of all ages can enjoy. However, there is just ONE scene that should've been enough to give it a PG rating! The incinerator scene! Not only was that scene emotional, it was dark! I know that the characters are toys, but as they've shown us in these films, they have feelings. That's something that Pixar does best. So watching these characters about to die is just too hard to watch.
I honestly think with the cold truth of the day care being like a prison camp and the tear-jerking landfill scene, this is a little too dark and intense for preschool kids. Still, that does not at all detract from the fact this is the best installment of the series.
Fantasia is the best Disney movie ever! And that's a fact! Basically, each segment has some sort of moment that may not be suitable for small children, but the Night on Bald Mountain segment should be enough to give this movie a PG rating! That is some dark stuff! Chernabog is definitely Disney's darkest villain. This is something that could most likely scare children. Not only that, but I think this is the first Disney movie to show nudity. There's this one segment that features some female centaurs and their breasts are shown. But for some reason they don't have nipples. And also in Night on Bald Mountain, you can see some spirits flying and their boobs can be seen too. And these ones actually have nipples. Fantasia is a great film but I always ask myself how it got a G rating.
I can see it being a PG-13 even nowadays.
Are you serious? This was rated G? But it's a movie about beastiality! Also, this movie has quite a dark tone. There's blood shown, Belle almost gets eaten by wolves, Beast gets brutally attacked by wolves, the atmosphere is frightening, Gaston is a jerk to a bunch of people, Beast is naked in one scene, Lumiere and Plumette do unmentionable things, Beast gets stabbed by Gaston and nearly dies, Gaston dies and has a skull in his eyeballs for two frames. Look, the live action Beauty and the Beast was rated PG. And it pretty much did the same stuff that the animated film did. But I guess since it's live action, that makes it more edgy. I'll never understand the MPAA.
Considering the fact that this might have been at a time when g rated movies in general excited people. Now people aren't too excited about g rated movies giving the fact that it might be too clean for adults. I just think adults need to set lower standards if they ever think that they could enjoy these movies. If being a parent makes you worry about what is okay for kids to watch then might as well have them watch preschool stuff until they're at least 10.
How is it that Finding Dory was rated PG but Cars 3 is only rated G? Believe it or not, this was the whole reason why I made this list. I know Cars 3 isn't out yet, but just from the trailers, it looks very dark and edgy. We see a bunch of car crashes. I know we see car crashes in the other two films, but the ones here look a little more brutal. You might be thinking that car violence isn't the same as regular violence. But keep in mind that the cars in this franchise are living beings. Cars 2 was pretty violent too but the reason I didn't add it to the list was because I don't know if it should've been PG or if it deserved its G rating. That movie was very confusing. I know everyone has their own opinions, but if you like Cars 2, you don't deserve to have an opinion on anything. That movie was horrendous! That wasn't actually meant to offend anyone who likes the movie. Don't take it seriously.
A bruidal car crash that almost killed lightning McQueen. You know for kids!
I haven't watched this movie in years. But I remember that I kind of liked it. But it also scared me as a kid! The movie starts out very nice and seems like it will be very kid friendly film. But when it got to the pleasure island scenes, that's when it started to get weird. They turn children into donkeys! Also, people are shown to be gambling and smoking which isn't the kind of message I'd want to give to my children. If I ever have any children. There's even a whole scene involving a whale. Again, I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I remember how scary that scene was. This movie definitely has some pretty frightening scenes for younger children.
This movie has the word Jackass in it! I mean come on!
This should absolutely be #1.
I still don't know why the heck it was rated G. To me and pretty much most people, it's PG. Scar kills his own brother by throwing him off a cliff, Scar gets eaten alive by hyenas while he is burned alive, you could see deep flesh wounds in Shenzi's cheek when Simba scratched her, Scar and Simba have a huge dark and intense battle at the end, and in Can You Feel the Love Tonight, when Simba and Nala fall down the small mountain, she gives him a look. But it was still an AWESOME movie and definitely the best animated movie ever made.
Scar kills his own brother, Simba and Nala are doing quistonable things during their love song, some of the humor can be unsuitable for children, and the fight scene at the end is beyond intense. Pretty much anyone who's seen this movie knows why it was given a wrong rating. Such an intense movie! And that's what makes it so great!
It is not great, and yeah, it needed a higher MPAA rating. Don't know why the heck it was rated G when it should've gotten a PG or even PG-13 rating. I assume the live-action remake is going to be much darker.
Remember the bit at the end where Clayton shoots the gorilla and you see the shadow of his hanging body in the background? Yeh that was dark.
In one of the most intense scenes in the movie the vilian Clayton is violently hanged even though they never actually show it Claytons shadow of his hung body is pretty grim.
Clayton, enough said.
You know, sometimes I wish this movie was rated R. Just so I could see some sexy Mulan... Sorry, let me start over. There are quite a few moments in this movie that make me question how it got a G rating. For example, there's the scene where Mulan is taking a bath with the other guys. Again, makes me wish this was rated R so we could see more... Sorry again. Also, this movie is practically a war film. But since it's Disney, the violence is pretty mild. However, they do show blood at times. Also, Mulan straight up murders the villain in an explosion. This movie has quite a dark tone. Hopefully the live action Mulan remake will be rated R... I MEAN PG!
This movie has the worst moral ever! Therefore, its G rating was a mistake! Just kidding. Well I mean yes this movie has the worst moral ever, but that's not why I think it should be PG. The climax alone should've been enough. Ursula turns into a giant due to Ariel's stupidity, and it is quite a frightening scene to watch. And just when you thought it couldn't get anymore frightening, Ursula gets impaled. This movie would've been better if Ariel was the one who got impaled. Speaking of Ariel, we see her naked. Unfortunately. However, nothing too bad is shown. We only see glimpses of her backside. But other than that, it's pretty harmless. Still, no idea how that didn't give the movie a PG rating.
Really? For a movie with action scenes, & cars trying to kill each other, this should of been rated PG
Very violent movie only G because the first one was
Violent for a G rated movie, especially for a 2011 one.
Oh my god! Why is the kissing scene in the part?
I think this could've been Rated PG because of you know, the scene where Jasmine seduces Jafar at a young age (Just so Aladdin can try to get the lamp without getting caught. However, that plan didn't work out too well), and also, some of the frightening scenes. Also, some scenes are a little disturbing. However, both children and adults enjoyed it, so that makes sense why it is Rated G.
A lot of people might disagree with me on this, but I feel like PG would've been a reasonable rating for this movie. There are a ton of dark moments, there's some humor that kids might not get, and most of the women look over-sexualized. There are at least two scenes where some females wearing revealing outfits are dancing around Aladdin as if they're giving him a lap dance. Even Jasmine's outfit is kind of revealing. But yeah, this is still a pretty fun film to be enjoyed by both children and adults. That's a great thing about most Disney films.
Dragon gets stabbed and we see blood coming out, you know for kids!
The movie opens with Nemos family with the exception of Marlen being eaten which is a really horrible way to start a kids movie.
Out of all these movies this Should be Rated PG. Further more this is a little campy. Also in no way you decapitate get away with a G Rating.
Not too bad, but still, it shows decapitation and the end of the world.
The Hydra and the Titans may scare little kids
It's based on a true story, it even has dead people lying around! And a talking tree!
Spoiler: not only Bambi's mom dies, but a quail was shot in this movie and showed the dead body!
Bambi's mom gets shot and a bird gets shot
Seriously, Glenn Close in an over the top performance as Cruella De Ville and some dark imagery, not to mention that the animals don’t talk in this version, make for a picture too edgy for a G rating.
Yeah, the scary villain who is mean to the dalmations!
Tod's mom dies at the beginning, so sad.
It was a great movie, I wish Disney would have made the third movie. They can’t replace Eva Gabor but they can always find other actors that sounds like her. They already replaced Minnie and Mickey why not Bianca and Bernard.
Why would it be rated G if it is too dark for preschoolers?!
Wow. With a movie that scares many sensitive kids, how could this be rated G?!
Shows the evil queen, witch, the forest with eyes, etc...
I think it should be, it is a bit frightening for kids at parts
Not as dark as it's predecessor bu does have 2 deaths, both fairly brutal.
