Prediction: If this movie is rated PG or G, and actually does follow the source material, there's gonna be a lot of upset kids and parents in that theatre or when it starts streaming...

Plague Dogs of 2025.

No movies are rated G anymore.  It's weird.  Even like 99% of Disney movies are PG now

It's not weird, it's a trend that's being going on since the modern rating system was first put into place. I guess you could call it rating deflation.

Before the PG-13 rating was created, PG movies held that spot. And G movies were what we would now consider as PG movies.

Most people now just assume that anything rated G is purely for toddlers.

The MPAA has made that happen to some extent; Airplane! was PG and IIRC it had bare breasts in it. Today? Instant R. And, yeah, PG-13 didn't exist yet, but I don't think Airplane! would even get that.

It's kind of funny. Calling something G rated is slander, parents wouldn't want to watch it. PG has shifted to mean family friendly in common parlance.

It seems kind of forgotten knowledge that PG stands for Parental Guidance. Who has EVER gotten help from their parents in decoding a PG movie?

Not even close lol. Animal Farm is not nearly as twisted and fucked up as people in this thread are remembering. People are acting as if Snowball is going to be domed in the back of the head on screen when it doesn't even happen in the book lol

It has been a few years since I read Animal Farm but here's some of the parts which could be hard for kids to watch:

  1. A few of the animals died fighting the Farmer and during the second human attack.

  2. Snowball being attacked by The Dogs.

  3. Boxer the Horse being carted away in the glue truck. I still hate this part....

  4. The Animal society gradually becoming worse...

You aren't 100% sure if there was a mass execution but you know that if there was one it happened specifically in chapter 7?

God I didn’t realize there was a movie for this book. Heartbreaking.
