2. - Universal
Suitable for All
children are upset by different things, so it is sometimes
difficult to say what might upset a child. However, U films
should be suitable for audiences aged four years and
over. If there is any violence, threat or horror in a U film, it
should be over quickly and the film should tell children
that everything will turn out okay. Films and DVDs for
children should make clear to them the difference
between right and wrong.

Children of any age may watch, with or without an
