The "Rated PG-13" designation is a film rating assigned by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) in the United States. It indicates that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13 years old. Parents are strongly cautioned to provide guidance, as the content may include moderate violence, strong language, or suggestive themes. Movies with a PG-13 rating often appeal to a broader audience, including teenagers and adults. This rating allows filmmakers to explore more complex themes while still being accessible to younger viewers, making it a popular choice for many blockbuster films and franchises.
