Caroline (2009) is a children fantasy animation film directed by Henry Selick. The film was given a certificate of PG (Parental Guidance). This raised many concerns as the film had many horror scenes which may scare the kids that watch it however BBFC say it's also about how long the scenes last all and how detailed they are.
Normally a film with a PG is known for being suitable to watch for all ages but may include some unpleasant scenes.
