Went to see Hachuping, but a restricted-audience trailer played.

It is the school vacation season these days. With many interesting movies out, quite a few people likely go on theater outings with their children, and it is said that some are left in shock after seeing previews or advertisements before the screening.

They went to see an "all-ages" movie.

However, the issue of previews or advertisements inappropriate for young children being exposed before the movie is repeatedly occurring.

While main features are classified into detailed age ratings, a simpler rating system is applied to the previews and advertisements shown before the screening.

Even if a film is restricted for youth, its trailer can still be screened before children's movies as long as the preview itself receives an all-ages rating.

Advertising videos are also classified under a single "all-ages" rating category.

Overseas cases are somewhat different.

The United Kingdom distinguishes age ratings not only for main features but also for trailers, while Australia only allows movies with the same or lower ratings as the feature being viewed to be promoted as trailers.
