  PG-13 came to theaters 20 years ago
This is the story of how a gooey green guy in a microwave, a pagan witch doctor with a beating heart in his hand and that unlucky numeral 13 changed the way Hollywood makes its movies.
With no middle-ground between PG and R, the ratings board of the 1980s frequently wrestled with the right way to classify movies that should and should not be viewed by children.
He agreed to make the distinction at 13, saying that was an age when most kids knew the difference between fantasy and reality, and had more independence from their parents.

 MPAA Film Ratings Information - RopeofSilicon.com
The label PG plainly states parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, but leaves the parent to make the decision.
The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is thus an alert for examination of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their children.
A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category.

 PG-13 remade Hollywood ratings system
This is the story of how a gooey green guy in a microwave, a pagan witchdoctor with a beating heart in his hand and that unlucky numeral 13 changed the way Hollywood makes its movies.
The flaw in the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system was that it lumped all children -- from infants to 17-year-olds -- into the same group.

 Study: Violence Abounds in PG, PG-13 Films
According to the study, some PG films have more acts of violence than the average R film.
Every film but three was found to contain at least one act of violence, and more than a quarter of the violence in all ratings categories involved deadly force.
The average number of violent acts per film was 14 in the PG category, 20 in PG-13 and 32 in R. But six PG films had more violence than the PG-13 average and three had more violence than the R average.

 Motion Picture Association of America film rating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An analysis of the proportion of films rated G and PG at this time (corresponding with a conservative shift in the rating standards) shows that fewer G ratings were issued while more family films were rated as PG with the less restrictive sounding "children" label.
With the PG rating still being used without a change, it was unclear to some parents at first whether PG or PG-13 films were intended for older viewers.
One of the unintended side effects of the rating system is that the G and (in recent years) PG ratings have been associated with children's films, and are widely considered to be commercially bad for films targeted at teenagers and adults.

 What the ratings mean
This is a film that clearly needs to be examined or inquired into by parents before they let their children attend.
The label PG plainly states that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, but the parent must make the decision.
PG-13 is a sterner warning to parents to determine for themselves the attendance in particular of their younger children as they might consider some material not suited for them.

 PG-13: Parental guidance expected | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Or maybe it's the 13, which also may not raise concerns for parents of young teenagers, or 12-year-olds, or even the 11-year-old who is "mature for her age."
Perhaps that was the time to resurrect the old M rating, which was renamed PG shortly after the ratings system was devised in 1968.
And a movie rated M – for mature – might ring a louder bell, indicating to parents that a little more homework is needed before they let their children see such films.

Los Angeles, Aug. 23--This is the story of how a gooey green guy in a microwave, a pagan witchdoctor with a beating heart in his hand and that unlucky numeral 13 changed the way Hollywood makes its movies.
Ultimately, both movies made it to theaters with the PG designation.

 To Be PG Or Not To Be PG-13
The MPAA has young viewers in mind and slapping on a PG rating just informs the parents that the comic mischief or small bits of violence featured in the film might exact some influence over their child’s behavior.
For a PG rating--or, to earn a PG rating, a movie must have no more than five “s**t” words, and a dozen or two mild profanities (the usual “hell, damn and ass”).
Rating “The Powerpuff Girls” and “Lilo & Stitch” PG just shows the shallow-yet-obtuse criteria that these pictures have to meet to rile the feathers of the board, and not get the coveted “G” rating.

Down here they tried to get Star Wars Ep.3 at a PG rating but the censors thought that it contained too many adult themes and I think they even struggled to get Ep.2 to a PG rating for it's cinematic release because it was rated M when they released to dvd with the extra footage.
Think about this boys, there is a scene in the new movie in which Superman is getting beaten up and is bleeding quite badly, that would mean your censors are probably thinking that the movie is aimed more at an adult audience than a small child audience.
