PG vs PG 13

I've now decided that my film will not be rated R (there is no reason for it to be R; plus, that narrows my audience). However, I am researching films that are PG vs those that are PG 13.

PG:

The Little Prince (2015)

Genre: Adventure/Drama

Hidden Figures (2016)

Genre: Drama/History

 Inside Out (2015)

Genre: Fantasy/comedy-drama

BFG (2016)

Genre: Fantasy/Adventure

Hugo (2011)

Genre: Fantasy/ Mystery

PG-13

The Salesman (2016)

Genre: Drama/Thriller

 The Help (2011)

Genre: Drama/Romance

 Fences (2016)

Genre: Drama

 Lion (2016)

Genre: Drama

 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

Genre: Fantasy/Action

Thus, as seen, PG films are mostly animation and geared towards younger children. Their themes are more condensed and not as complex as PG-13 films, as seen with The Salesman and Lion. My theme corresponds to the complexity of those two movies that are rated PG-13. Both movies were extremely successful and won numerous awards in the year 2016. Thus, they are fairly new and are both drama films. 

PG rated drama films are almost impossible to find. The Little Prince was more of an adventure movie, yet it had the themes of a drama film. Hidden Figures is the only movie that is fairly recent and that is both PG rated and the drama genre. However, my film is mostly controversial and cannot be shown to PG audiences. It contains political statements that cannot be understood by younger audiences. Even though I am considering the rate of R, I shall stick to PG-13. R means 17 and above; yet, I have met and known various individuals under the age of 17 that will fully appreciate and understand the movie. I don't want to underestimate the power and capacity to understand of Generation Z since they closely follow the media and have been savvy of the newest election. 

Thus, PG-13 it is!
