Understanding U and PG ratings

The U in U rated films stands for 'universal' meaning that it is suitable for all the audiences. These types of films always have a positive message/moral that they try to show throughout. If there are any violence, it should be over quickly and not drag on. Also, the good guy should always win and have the violence mild and not traumatizing for children. No discrimination or any references to drugs as this can create a bad image for them and it can give them the idea to copy what they see on screen. These factors are needed to be looked upon on whether the film is a U rating or not. Here is a movie trailer of a U rated movie:



The PG in PG rated films stands for 'parental guidance'. These films can be viewed by everyone in general, however some scenes in the film may be unsuitable for young children. Parents are advised to consider if they would make the child watch the film or not. The rules also about references to drugs and any other bad doings are the same as in U rated films. Its not allowed and it is illegal. Any violence should have a good outcome to balance the story and language can be mildly bad only. Not severe and harsh language. Here is a movie trailer of a PG rated movie:
