Content: But why not just ban anything that isn’t strictly G-rated from the platform, and bump it to Hulu? For one thing, not all ratings are created equal. Most of the Marvel and Star Wars movies have gotten PG-13 ratings, and evicting those films to Hulu would put a damper on some of the site’s biggest selling points. There’s also the fact that even within the Disney animated canon, the difference between PG and G movies has been fuzzy. In fact, some of the G-rated movies deal with darker and weightier themes than the movies that earned PG ratings for possibly raunchy jokes. To put things in perspective, PG-rated Disney movies include Tangled, Frozen, and Finding Dory (though not Finding Nemo ). While those movies contain their share of fantasy peril (Flynn dying in Rapunzel’s arms!), thematic action (Dory and Hank hijack a truck), and slightly crude humor (Princess Anna’s mild innuendo “Shoe size doesn’t matter!” in Frozen ), there are pieces of the Disney and Pixar animated canon that touch on war, genocide, and sexual desire, but still slide away with a G rating. Dark themes in G-rated movies aren’t unheard of.
