Disney's 'Frozen' Proves Failure Of PG Rating

Disney's 'Frozen' Proves Failure Of PG Rating: To quote that great, and justifiably PG-rated animated classic The Incredibles, “when everyone’s special, no one is.” When the PG rating is doled out like candy for animated and family features, it becomes the proverbial “G” rating and thus is useless in terms of its stated goal, which is to tell parents, paying moviegoers and the like, whether or not a given family film may be a bit much for their youngest kid. I’ve seen Frozen and if you have any sense you’ll see Frozen when it opens wide over Thanksgiving weekend. Unless your print contains gore or nudity that wasn’t in my cut, it’s as “G” as “G” can be. Yet it still bears the once-scarlet tag of PG. It’s great that PG is no longer than kiss of death for animated features. But how about we reserve that rating for films that actually deserve it.
