Oh right. I asked because I didn't think they gave out information about films, like the BBFC.

Pretty soon your kids arent allowed to watch those old cartoons anymore, where cartoon ducks, pigs, rabbits of humans happily enjoyed a nice big smoke...

Why do you say that?

Because in the rating for Speed Racer they say "Rated PG for ..."brief smoking" - I didnt know smoking was one of the things they started looking at when considering a film's rating

Well spotted. Thanks Grim.

It seems really pointless, as if parents are going to say "Smoking!". Right it's unsuitable.
