Curious George: Movie Ratings Educational Poster I'm looking for a copy of a poster (either a real poster, or an image) that I used to see in movie theatres. It was an educational poster that showed the different rating levels for films G thru X (this was pre NC-17). With each rating was an illustration of the family members who could attend the film - the lower ratings included a rabbit in the audience who also showed up in the X audience wearing a pair of sunglasses.
I haven't found anything via Google or eBay...

  • You mean this one. Found on a search for MPAA ratings poster. The image there is not great but it is a start.
  • Oh and I'll add that this poster used to amuse me, too. I miss seeing it but I guess X doesn't exist so much anymore and the MPAA is too busy being serious about piracy.
  • Oh, and a large image because I am a driven man. Nice way to waste some time and feel very mildly nostalgic.
  • Is it just me, or do the grins of the NC-17 movie-goers take on a different meaning?
  • Now that, my friends, is efficiency. /applauds Todfox
  • I remember that poster. As at teenager, I worked at a movie theater in the late 80's and early 90's. It might be worth it to contact some of your local theaters. They tended to be pack-ratty about that kind of stuff, and may have one rolled up somewhere. The employees only fight over the movie posters.
  • Never knew that Giraffes could only attend General rated movies. I hope they don't sit in front of me though... O, and what's that playboy bunny doing there?
  • They have this poster at a local movie theater here. It's a relativly new theater too, only a few years old. Only differance is is that the big "X" is replaced with "NC-17".
  • Excellent. Thank you all. Pretty sad to have a first-hit Google query fed back at me.
  • I love the rabbit in sunglasses in the NC-17 audience.
