Because my aunt and uncle are pretty conservative, I thought it would be a good idea to look on our Motion Picture Page Classification Search to check the classification of the movie. After typing “Hop” into the title search box, I was able to find out the movie is rated G (general).  Clicking on the details button gave me more information and I was able to find out that “Hop” does have “several scenes of violence depicting fighting”.  It was helpful to have this information to pass along to my uncle and aunt.

Checking out the details that our motion picture classification provides is a great way to avoid any surprises in the movie theatre, especially when you are taking kids. It's also important to know that often the classification that you see on television is the American version, which is not the same rating system as in Canada.
