As a parent with young kids, G movies will literally have nothing scary at all. Both PG or G won’t have vulgar words, but PG might have like “butt” or something very minorly offensive.

For example, in Zootopia, there are some “intense” scenes where the animals go feral and chase other animals. The chased animals look terrified for their lives. This can cause some younger kids to get scared/frightened by those scenes. In a G movie, there would be nothing that intense. Zootopia also has some innuendo humor, e.g. the scene where the fox takes the rabbit cop to an animal “nudist” yoga club. G movies wouldn’t have that type of humor.

Hope that clears it up for you.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

2001: A Space Odyssey

Planet of the Apes

The Secret of NIMH

many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

  Very fair point, thanks for providing further historical context.
  
  There are definitely some older kids movies even that have some, “wtf?” aspects about them by today’s standards. Hell, we started watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit a year ago or so with one of our younger kids and my wife and I just looked at each other, “ehhhh maybe this isn’t really kid appropriate after all,” and turned it off.

    Like maybe the cartoon shoe character getting torture murdered or the psychotic killer gloating over the prior killing of the detective’s brother
