BBFC film classification requirements

Universal (U)

"It is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. But a ‘U’ film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. ‘U’ films should be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror"

Parental Guidence (PG)

"General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. 

Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A ‘PG’ film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children".

We plan to make sure that our opening sequence fits the BBFC criteria for a childrens film by:

• making our characters bright and fun and not in a negative mood 
• having a fun and friendly atmosphere within our story
• not include any violence.
• include positive morals and a clear message.
• making sure the content would be considered acceptable by parents of young children.
