Classifications in film (U - 12A/12)



Within the film industry there are all kinds of different films and some of them are classed as unsuitable for children or teenagers.

U, stands for Universal and means it is open for everybody over the age of 4 to go and see. There is no use of drugs and only occasionally nudity but no sexual context. Bad language will be infrequent and very mild.




PG - Parental Guidance
PG films are for general viewing however some of the scenes may be unsuitable for children under the age of 8. Unaccompanied children can watch these films but the parents are advised to consider whether the content will be okay for the viewing of younger or more sensitive children.



Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless they are being accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider if the film they are going to watch is suitable for that child. To help them decide,  No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a 12 rated video work. A 12 rated film has the same concept however even if the child under 12 is accompanied by an adult they still cannot see the film.
