If you're a parent to young kids, you may have noticed this trend, but for many it's slipped past the radar until now.
The "G" rating for movies, meaning movies approved for kids of all ages, is essentially disappearing completely from the screen. In 2023, there will be ZERO G-rated movies appearing in theaters.
Here's Axios' short write-up on this phenomenon to give you a quick look at what is transpiring:
Movie studios do not have a care in the world for families, standards, or making movies that are friendly to all audiences.
Tell me, why does this year's Little Mermaid need to be PG when the original was an easy G-rating?
Why does Paw Patrol 2 need to have sequences intense enough to merit a PG rating?
Why is the G movie disappearing? Well, here's one theory that makes sense:
We're living in a perpetual 13-year-old boy's world now.
Family-friendly live-action films don't exist anymore unless they're remakes of classic cartoons, and today's animated movies don't have the same magic.
Making kids movies for kids is a thing of the past.
