[PinkiePie97 913]

The movie now has a rating. It has been rated PG.

Kinda saw this coming, nowadays though it really doesn't really mean much though

[Luminance 2,181]

Looking at the trailer, I can tell that the movie would most likely be PG already.

Man I guess the G rating really is dead.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

Well color me surprised.

[FlareGun45 2,221]

Rated PG for Pretty Goshdarnawesome!

[Chrylestia600 1,307]

Totally saw the PG rating coming. 

Honestly thought there might have been more than just 'mild action' though.

[NightmareLuna800 1,383]

Like Chrylestia, I totally saw a PG rating coming for this movie. I figured it wouldn't have been as low as G, and I know it wouldn't have reached PG-13. That's for sure. XD

My thoughts exactly. And as @cmarston1 said, the G rating seems to be dead, which was another reason I really didn't think it would be that.

To quote the Nostalgia Critic, nowadays PG stands for "Practically G", so this isn't really a surprise in the slightest.  

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

I am not surprised AT ALL. Like @PoisonClaw mentioned, PG is used for basically everything these days that should be G rated. That's basically why the rating system is flawed.

there honestly needs to be a bigger rating system; "Nothing offensive, suitable for toddlers", "Up to about 7ish in appropriateness" "Up to about 12ish"  "17ish", and "18+"

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I suspected that this was going to be the rating so I'm not surprised by it. This does mean that they can push things a little further when it comes to the violence aspect though not too much otherwise it could backfire.

He isn't even dented!
Oh shit, what are we going to do now?!

[FirePuppy 621]

Even though it's rated PG, since it's only for "mild action", chances are, it'll probably be rated U in the United Kingdom, and G in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and I guess, the Philippines as well.

I admit, I shouldn't have been so fearmongering in the first place.

[heavens-champion 1,893]

Wow. It's like I knew this would happen.

Jesus christ this is actually pretty surprising lol

Why would anything hard core have to happen in a PG rated film? And why would its absence piss you off?

lol I was just joking. But a lot of old animated movies had way darker or violent content. But they are still rated G. Now we have animated movies that are rated PG but are way more tame then the movies that came before them. Mlp The Movie isn't going to have any content that deserves a PG rating. It will be a G rated movie with a PG rating. I mean maybe they say "hell" and that's what got it the PG rating, but I doubt it.

Yeah. Over the decades everything shifted up. PG-13 films today may have gotten an R rating 30 years ago. Back then an R rating was a kiss of death for many films ... not so much these days. 

It's amusing because back in 1986 Hasbro did NOT want Transformers The Movie to have a G rating. The first draft was actually darker knowing that they were targeting a PG. In the end they toned it down, but still added some minor profanity just to ensure a PG rating.

Yeah but a G rating wouldn't affect ticket sales for the Mlp Movie. The show is TV-Y which is basically the same as G. Also I'd have to agree on the ratings being more lax now. Robo Cop had to go through twelve cuts before it got an R rating. Logan is rated R but is ten times more violent than Robo Cop. 

[Tiny Hoofs 200]

As others said, a PG rating doesn't mean that much these days. You can basically expect anything more risqué than The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure to get a PG rating. The Nostalgia Critic explains it the best.

I was actually expecting something along those lines. From what we've seen, it will have at least some some mild fantasy violence and peril.

It's PG! Oh celestia... THIS MOVIE WILL BE VIOLENT! Bring out the guns and excessive blood amounts! And don't forget the explicit scenes! How will the franchise SURVIVE?

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,328]

Well it kinda figures. Movie studios that aren't Disney have to make their movies PG so the general movie goer doesn't think it's a dumb kids movie. Nostalgia Critic explained it best, but that vid was already linked in here
