Official MPAA rating

Nah, there have past R rated animated films. Not a whole lot, but they do exist, ever heard of Ralph Bakshi?

Southpark: Bigger, Longer, Uncut was the last American R-rated animated movie that I remember. And I think someone already mentioned Ralph Bakshi... who made the first X-rated cartoon with Fritz the Cat.

In Japan, there are numerous movies that would be rated R if shown here... Akira, Ghost in the Shell for example.

Not really the first of it's not nor was Family Guy was.

Ever seen Fritz the Cat, American Pop, Heavy Metal, Felidae, Hey Good Looking', South Park The Movie, Ninja Scroll, Pink Floyd The Wall, Akira etc.?

Unfortunately, most parents nowadays are stupid and too permissive.

I work at a major store where parents have no clue why a movie or video game is rated the way it is. They just purchase whatever their child wants, because their friends have it. Last time I checked, "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" was an arrestable offense.
