PG Films

PG films are aimed at an older audience, perhaps still families with younger children as they might not get the jokes as they aren’t directly applied.

The Pink Panther 2

The Aristocats is a ‘PG’ because it contains only things that are acceptable:

• There are lines such as

I'm sorry you can't satisfy your wife

• Violence is seen

Slapstick violence when Clouseau is attacked by two young boys in his care in which they use a chainstick

“The sex references in The Pink Panther 2 were felt to be limited to innuendo only, and were infrequent. The violence is very much played for comedy throughout, and so was also felt to be suitable at 'PG'”
