PG Rated Movies Releasing In 2025

Looking for family-friendly choices this year? Here’s a clean, easy list of confirmed, U.S. theatrical PG releases in 2025 (plus a few limited/indie titles). PG rated films are a perfect choice for parents who want safe and enjoyable entertainment for kids while still keeping the whole family engaged.

Unlike G-rated movies, which are aimed at very young children, PG (Parental Guidance) movies may include mild language, light peril, or thematic elements, but they remain suitable for most kids with parental supervision.
