Looks like a fine children's movie that will be ruined by socially maladjusted autistic twenty- and thirty-somethings

There's no pleasing them!

Took me a while to get used to but it looks a lot nicer traditionally animated than with flash.

At least it's got some kind of budget given it's theatrical release. I noticed a few 'bronies' dissed the look since I guess the TV animation was superior in their minds. Again, no pleasing!

I like how a very G-rated kids' show has a PG-rated movie simply because of "mild action".

It's just the way the MPAA likes to do it nowadays. Had this come out 20 years ago, nobody would've bat an eye at its G rating.

If they had any sense they'd have a matinee/afternoon showing for children and parents only and then a midnight showing where they can keep the degenerates out of sight and maybe have another janitor on call because reasons.

Oh if only we had those again. There was a reason they stopped doing them by the 80's, I can't remember what.

These days only the most gentle of kid's movies are rated G. Yes, more gentle than an episode of My Little Pony. I don't know why they even bother with it anymore.

We've certainly grown from a society where a film like Planet of the Apes got the G rating back in '68. Heck, would you believe this was PG?

In the U.S. I think the only ratings back then were PG and R. If a movie wasn't completely profanity ridden and filled with gratuitous violence, it was given a PG rating. There were movies that had nudity and F-Bombs back then that only had PG ratings.

For one thing nobody wants a G because it's become synonymous with box office failure. It's pretty stupid, though, when a pony movie can possibly not be rated G. PG is the new G, PG-13 is just PG with three seconds of tits or a fuck or two, and R just means it's not actually porn.

Actually, there where officially three... G, PG (originally GP), R and the unofficial X, though before that it was G, M. R and X. PG-13 was added in '84.

Well, there's also now the official NC-17 (created in 1990), but most movies that get rated that are either cut to R, or tell the MPAA to go fuck themselves and release it unrated. Also, the X rating actually was official, but similarly to NC-17, only a few movies rated that chose to apply it, and it was often used (along with made-up variants like XXX) for porn that was never even submitted to the NCAA, so the vast majority of "X" films had never actually been even seen by the MPAA.

Some official films were, even award-winning ones like the 1969 Best Picture and Best Director Oscar-winner Midnight Cowboy starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight.

Ah, that's it. The main thing I remember is there being no PG-13 rating, so there was a lot of wiggle room between PG and R rated movies. If it wasn't a G rated Disney movie or some other children's type film like Mary Poppins or Bedknobs and Broomsticks, you either had a PG or an R rating, and since a lot of movies didn't fit the R rating, they ended up PG.

I can't remember the particular movie at the moment, but I remember something in particular that had exposed breasts and a couple F-bombs that was rated PG. Something that came out in either the early 1980s or late 1970s.

Yeah, unrated was used before NC-17 when they wanted to release something that would otherwise get an X rating in the US. As far as NC-17 goes, they don't use that one too much. The only thing I remember offhand that used NC-17 was the mid 90's Larry Clark movie, Kids.

Makes sense, none of Hasbro's other films made it past 50% besides the 1986 and 2007 Transformers films. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it sticks.

Also the film got leaked onto KimCartoon earlier this week. So that may end up taking a bit of the profit if others find out about it.

I'm impressed they got to it that quickly. I suppose I could check it out (not having even paid much attention to MLP passed season one).
