austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 11 hours agoYou are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Planet of the Apes
- The Secret of NIMH
- many John Wayne movies including True Grit
Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

Very fair point, thanks for providing further historical context.
There are definitely some older kids movies even that have some, “wtf?” aspects about them by today’s standards. Hell, we started watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit a year ago or so with one of our younger kids and my wife and I just looked at each other, “ehhhh maybe this isn’t really kid appropriate after all,” and turned it off.

Like maybe the cartoon shoe character getting torture murdered or the psychotic killer gloating over the prior killing of the detective’s brother
