The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) released its movie rating system in 1968. The association developed the system to provide parents with information on a film’s content so they could determine if it was appropriate for their children. The board consisted of a group of parents who reviewed films and assigned one of four classifications. G was for general audiences, M was for mature audiences, R was restricted, no one under 17 without a parent or guardian, and X was no one under 17. In 1969, the M classification changed to PG, parental guidance suggested. On July 1, 1984, the association introduced the PG-13 rating. PG-13 means that the movie contains elements unsuitable for children under 13 years of age. Do you know the first film to be rated PG-13? An upcoming question this week will test your knowledge!
