R-rated films that should be PG-13 and PG
Themes
The MPA doesn't really have themes as one of its classifiable elements (with the exception of Suggestive Themes), but it may classify it anyway. Examples can be horror themes, sexual themes, suggestive themes and violent themes. An example is the Five Nights at Freddy's series: the movies are usually rated PG-13 for fantasy violence. Fantasy violence could be accommodated at a lower rating (PG) but the MPA secretly rated it based on its themes too; the themes just don't show up on the Content Descriptor box.
Violence
Since 2006, G can only have mild unrealistic violence (e.g. Mild Fantasy Violence/Mild Cartoon Violence). PG rated Movies can have Mild Violence and standard Fantasy Violence and Cartoon Violence descriptors. While some PG rated Movies can have mild blood (and in some rare cases, G rated Movies may have blood without violence), Blood (and Gore) is restricted to a PG-13 rating or higher. Gore may only be present in PG-13 rated Movies if the gore is stylized or cartoony, and if it is viewed from a perspective other than first-person.
Sex
One movie with sexual content, however, got rated PG-13.
Nudity
The MPA, similar to the ESRB, is very strict with nudity. The MPA is very strict with nudity. Movies with partial nudity is allowed in PG-13 rated Movies and above.
Offensive language
The MPA allows religious language for G rated movies ("damn", "hell"), mild language for PG rated movies ("b*tch", "crap", "bastard", "piss", "ass", "frick"), slightly stronger language at the PG-13 rating ("s**t", "a*shole", "d**k", "p***y", "pr**k", "n**ga") and some racial slurs.
