I saw the the video game is E10 so Im wondering if the moviw is gonna be PG. The first 2 were G so why make this one PG. Any thoughts?
No way it would rated PG. The video game has Toy Box Mode which probably makes it E10+, and the events of the film are just in story mode.
It will be G.
They would have more reason to make it PG because many of the people going to see it will probably be around 20, being people who grew up watching the original two, but making it G would probably be the smarter route to go since many other fans are younger kids.
it wouldn’t really affect me either way, but I just can’t really see it being PG.
After reading the Junior Novel, I think it might be rated PG, considering the amount of peril that comes in later. It’s tough to say, though, maybe because it’s just toys in these situations it’ll be rated G.
I think they changed the original Toy Story to PG, but it definately was originally G. For all the child-oriented merchandise, there’s no way it could be PG.
Besides, having a video game as the indicator isn’t very accurate; basically everthing these days is rated E10.
I would be shocked if TS3 got a PG rating. “Nemo” had plenty of peril, a death, and a couple of moments where we think characters are dead (Dory after the jellyfish scene, Nemo after the fishing boat scene), and it was still G.
The only 2 Pixar movies to have been rated PG are Incredibles and Up, and in both cases, the reasons cited on the official rating tag involve the words Peril/Action/Violence, but I think I know what set those two movies apart: both have human characters who are firing guns at other humans. At one point, I thought that simply the presence of guns = PG, but Ratatouille has the old lady shooting at the rats, and it’s a G. (The one thing that doesn’t fit my theory: the tiny bit in Ratatouille where Remy’s going up the building and sees the couple arguing, and she’s going to shoot him - but we don’t see her actually fire the gun at him - Remy hears the bang and runs back, and now they’re kissing - so maybe that’s how they skirted the PG there.)
No matter how much peril the toys are put in, they’re still toys, and G doesn’t mean there’s nothing that won’t scare or upset little kids (Edit: ROTFL, I just read that again - oops, I meant nothing that will scare them), it just means there’s nothing the average parent is going to find offensive. I may be wrong about this, but that’s my theory on ratings.[/u]
It’s not gonna be rated PG. There are tons of games based on movies that are rated E10+. Even if it is PG, it’s not gonna turn people away. It’s Toy Story 3 for goodness sake! No one’s gonna be turned off by that.
That reminds me, I miss the olden days where everything was still allowed in kids’s stuff. Man, I miss those times. Now even innocent stuff as Super Mario Galaxy 2 which comes out this month has been said to contain ‘animated violence’. WHAT?
I mean, I saw an animated movie some days ago and I mean seriously, it contained blood, smoking, guns, and ‘violence’, yet it was rated E.
If such films came out nowadays they’d be rated M.

If Toy Story 3 will be rated PG, it will be the third Pixar film to do so. D:
It is officially rated G. projection.pixar.com/reels/ WARNING: Spoilers ahead. Just click on the last one.
G and PG now a days are pretty much the same thing. This isn’t the 80’s any more.
I doubt that the game being E-10 will mean anything for the film, since the game has a sandbox mode which has nothing to do with the story of the film.
