  Rating Systems Films from Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Independent Pictures and New Line Cinema are voluntarily rated by an independent rating agency sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners. The ratings are intended to give parents advance information so they can decide for themselves which films are appropriate for viewing by their children. Theme, language, violence, nudity, sex and drug use are among the content areas considered in the rating process. Each film is rated G, PG, PG-13, R or NC-17. Additional information about these ratings can be found at mpaa.org TV Rating System The TV Parental Guidelines is a voluntary rating system designed to give parents information about the content and age-appropriateness of TV programs. Time Warner companies that distribute or produce programming for television comply with these ratings, including Warner Bros., Time Warner Cable, HBO and all Turner Broadcasting System networks. Ratings are assigned by networks. The ratings are defined as follows:
TV-Y: All Children Video Game Rating System Video game ratings are overseen by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), created by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which represents most video game producers, including Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Turner’s GameTap Entertainment. The ESRB independently applies and enforces ratings, advertising guidelines and online privacy principles adopted by the industry. ESRB ratings have two parts: rating symbols that indicate what ages the game is suited for, and content descriptors that list game elements that may be of concern. Game companies, including Time Warner, voluntarily display ratings on the product packaging. Rather than limit content, the focus and philosophy of the ESA is to help parents and other consumers choose appropriate games. | |
