Is cartoon violence assessed differently than realistic violence?
In reviewing a movie, the Rating Board will seek to assign the rating that most American parents would assign that same movie, keeping in mind various factors, including the level of violence. The realism of the violence may be one of the considerations. However, simply because a motion picture is animated does not mean that it is appropriate for children of any age. In fact, animated motion pictures have been assigned ratings from G to NC-17.
