A film with a 'PG' cert may be watched by unaccompanied children of any age.

However, because some element within the overall film might be unsettling for younger children, parents are strongly advised to satisfy themselves in advance as to whether the film is appropriate for their younger children. This website provides information on each film released and links to a range of other sites which provide detailed content info and film reviews.

THEME/CONTENT: Stronger issues, e.g. violence or war, may be be dealt with, but there will be a generally positive or redemptive resolution.

CONTEXT: A film classified in this category may have a context of mild threat, but it is likely to be one that children can understand and handle.

VIOLENCE: This should be justified by the context and should be non-imitatable and non-explicit (e.g. fantasy violence, westerns, etc).

LANGUAGE: This will be mild.

SEXUAL CONTENT/NUDITY: Sexual content or dialogue will be mild and may be implied rather than shown, and any nudity will be natural and non-sexual.

DRUGS: Any references, which will relate only to 'soft' drugs, will be mild.
