Rugrats In Paris -- The Movie

Film Ratings


How It Rates In The Great White North

For Canadian movie-goers, ratings will vary from province-to-province, as each province or region has a different ratings system. Most provinces, such as British Columbia and Quebec, has issued a "G" rating, while Ontario has considered it a film for the whole "Family" to enjoy. The only known holdout is Manitoba, which rated it "PG" for its offensive content.

Here's how Rugrats In Paris rated in each province (some provinces use the ratings system of another):

What's in this film, really?

According to Movieguide, a Christian movie magazine, expect the following in Rugrats In Paris:

Kind of makes you wonder why this film was G-rated.


How many G-Rated films are there per year?

Even with films that push the limit, such as the Rugrats movies, G-rated films, and their Canadian equivalents, are few and far between. This question was raised at a town hall meeting at a military garrison at Fort Belvoir, VA, where someone questioned about the movies shown at the post's movie theater (from Ft. Belvoir's website:)
QUESTION: I would like to know why they don't show "family" movies at the post theatre.

RESPONSE: AAFES would be delighted to show more family movies. The fact is that there aren't too many being produced. Over the past few years the studio production of "G" rated movies looks like this:

1997: 5 out of 144 movies were "G" rated

1998: 8 out of 147

1999: 5 out of 140

In 2000 thus far there have only been 4 "G" rated movies produced. AAFES will show every "G" rated movie that is produced for the mainstream. Here at Ft. Belvoir we schedule matinees for such movies each time we get one. The news isn't all bad. The new "102 Dalmatians" and "Rugrats in Paris: The Movie" are both "G" rated and will be hitting the Ft. Belvoir theater in early 2001.

(Note: AAFES, The Army & Air Force Exchange Service, is a retailler with on-base stores, PXs, malls and movie theaters on American military bases worldwide.)
