Mortar 143 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think it's going to be rated G. Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but if the show's primary target audience are young girls, why would Hasbro make parents have second thoughts about letting their 3-5 year old child watch it? I doubt the parents would. I go to a lot of movies and, unfortunately, I see parents bringing in little kids to R-rated flicks all the time. PG would mean nothing to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChB 18,476 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Minions and Frozen are rated PG, and they are even more kiddie than MLP. I doubt the parents would. I go to a lot of movies and, unfortunately, I see parents bringing in little kids to R-rated flicks all the time. PG would mean nothing to them. Points taken, but considering MLP's primary target audience, and the fact that it maintained a TV-Y rating in all episodes, I would think that - despite how strict and arbitrary MPAA standards are, and regardless of how lenient most parents are nowadays - that Hasbro would make every effort to make the movie rated G, so that it would be unquestionably appropriate to all age groups (unless the movie will be primarily geared towards Bronies, which I highly doubt). To say it another way, it doesn't seem logical to me for Hasbro to make the show appropriate for young girls in all episodes for 6+ seasons, only to all of a sudden create a movie where they must warn the parents that it might not be appropriate for that same audience. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind if the movie ends up being Rated PG. In fact, there is a small part of me that wants that lol.

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,289 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm certain it's going to be rated PB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimatorOfficial 565 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 IMDB says "Expected Rating: PG for thematic elements and mild action". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkiePie97 910 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was going to say G only because the show is rated TV-Y, but if if it really is PG, I honestly wouldn't be that surprised. But isn't it a little early for it to get a rating? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChB 18,476 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) In what way is PG going to drive little kids away?It won't, but it might make some parents prevent them from watching, depending on how strict or conservative they are. Maybe they're not too prevalent anymore, but they probably still exist. One time at a library, I overheard a parent not allowing her daughter to rent The Powerpuff Girls movie, just because it's rated PG (the daughter looks 4 years old).

ManaMinori 4,110 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 They'll maybe slip in enough violence or the same level of innuendos as the actual show for a PG rating.why? Just, why? MLP doesn't need that stuff to make it good. And I certainly hope they leave that out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi89 5,268 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 why? Just, why? MLP doesn't need that stuff to make it good. And I certainly hope they leave that out If The Powerpuff Girls Movie got rated PG for that reason, it's possible the same could happen to the My Little Pony movie. Filmmakers actively try to avoid G-ratings because it makes their movie look kid-friendly. There's an entire trope about this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AvoidTheDreadedGRating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, PPG is pretty violent, but if the rating was the sole criteria, she doesn't really know what that means. ...unless the movie will be primarily geared towards Bronies, which I highly doubt). Don't get me wrong, I don't mind if the movie ends up being Rated PG. In fact, there is a small part of me that wants that lol. A broney MLP would be interesting. I wonder if Hasbro (Hasbrony?) knows about us? A PG rating would give them a wider latitude of what they could do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PG rating would give them a wider latitude of what they could do. A broney MLP film would stray too far from the intended goal and audience though. It's like 99% certain this won't happen, and imo neither should it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkiePie97 910 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 If The Powerpuff Girls Movie got rated PG for that reason, it's possible the same could happen to the My Little Pony movie. PPG is still different from MLP. PPG had more violence and the show was even rated TV-Y7-FV, so the PG rating was obvious. MLP, on the other hand, is rated TV-Y. I'm not saying the MLP movie won't be rated PG, but I don't think just because the PPG movie was is a sign MLP might. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaed 525 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 All the EqG films were rated G if I'm not mistaken. So there's a quite high chance that this one gets rated G as well. Not that I see what PG would allow it to do any better anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChB 18,476 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 One possible benefit of a PG rating is that it might get some non-bronies curious. "What?! A little girl's show about rainbows and talking ponies gets a PG rating? I wonder why that is." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluseymoe 255 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just watch, it'll end up being rated R for "nudity throughout". Also, I would recommend checking out the documentary "This Film is Not Yet Rated" if you want a better understanding of how the MPAA works. It straight up proves that the organization is a complete failure and needs to be done away with. Best thing about it though, is that they actually gave it an NC-17 rating. How's that for irony? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilgoreth 1,915 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 What do you think the film's rating should be, G or PG?Well it will probably be G considering both the tv show and all four EQG movies are rated G. But even if it is rated PG it won't be for crude humor. Just fantasy violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGrimoire 4,962 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It is getting to the point it seems for a film like this to receive a G rating, the characters will just have to stand there and blink and do nothing else except smile.... any movement or action outside of that.. and BAM.. PG rating. Them is the breaks.. PG it is I would imagine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT-1138 3,176 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Keep it G. It's a family series, no reason to change that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoddessRarity 48 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 While it would be cool to see a PG mlp movie, the film will almost certainly G. Unfortunately, the general thought is that this show is for little girls from outside viewers, so the movie suddenly appearing out of the blue as a PG may concern them, which could hurt ratings. That being said, I would love to be proven wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfall Gloam 17,904 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I imagine the movie will most likely just be G rated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimatorOfficial 565 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Alright here's why I'm confused by the G predictions: It paints a bad light on the movie. See if it's rates PG people will see it as appropriate for both kids and adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
