Cars 3 - 12A rating ?

[Andthenshesmiles]

Anyone else going to have a very disappointed DS/DD due to rating ?

You can still take them can't you? I thought a 12a was an advisory, so children can still view with an adult?

You can take your DC

FFS! What is it with bloody film producers making kids films gory/gritty and making them 12As? Bloody Power Rangers? How many over 10s ever actually watch that? And same with the Ninja Turtle movie. Now Cars? Actual Disney Pixar? It's fecking ridiculous.

Maybe they are aiming it at the children who were tinies when the first two films came out? I'm clutching at straws really aren't I. Ds is 10 and was a huge fan of cars and cars 2 but although he wouldn't watch 3 at the cinema I expect he'd secretly enjoy it if we watched it at home.

Maybe not confirmed rating yet, but listed as 12A by showcase at the moment, probably not suitable for 4 yo then !

That's ridiculous - very annoying. There's no need to make it 12A as it could easily be a PG

That's a strange decision!

I don't think it will be 12A tbh

Just says tbc on vue cinema website

My DS was in the 'target' age when Cars first came out.

He's taking his GCSEs now.

The idea that a franchise 'grows up' with its audience isn't that strange.

But the young adults can easily enjoy the nostalgia of a franchise whilst it remains accessible to the new generations. Look at Toy Story...

Completely agree Isadora.

It's a PG.

Yeah!!

It doesn't have an age rating yet - the trailers are rated U and PG.

There's no way it will be a 12A as it's a Disney cartoon - why would they want to stop their target audience from seeing it?

Star Wars and POTC are Disney films that are rated 12A but they are far more violent and aimed at a slightly older target audience.

Cars will be a U or PG like the first two.

It's a G rating.

^ G is an American rating.

With that in mind it will definitely be a U here. American's are oddly strict with their PG rating, even giving it to the tamest Pixar cartoons (e.g. Finding Dory and Inside Out, which both got a U in the UK). Barely anything gets a G anymore which highlights how broken the American ratings system is.

If it's a G in America it's guaranteed to be a U in the UK.

• Americans. Didn't mean to put the apostrophe there.

Its a U at all the cinemas round here, and a G (equivalent of a U) in the US.

BBFC have updated their PG to a U now too

12 a means children can go if accompanied by an adult
