BBFC stands for British Board of Film Classification when it was established in 1912 it was originally know as British Board of Film Censors, They are not funded by the government they are independently funded by the work the do to classify movies. BBFC are responsible for rating movies and video games, they classify the films and vido games by what content is in them they narrow it down to who is and or not suitable to watch or play the film or game. Above is the way the age ratings for the film or game and why the BBFC give them that rating. Looking at the BBFC's ratings for films its very easy to see and understand quickly why a certain film would get a certain rating, but i would say that the PG and 12A ratings are very similar because both of them if you are under the age of around 10 you need an adult to accompany you and if so its the adults decision to see if the film is suitable for you or not, and usually the big difference between a PG and 12A is if there is blood or violence and i don't think theres many parents that would take there 6 year old to a film with a few bits of blood and violence.
The BBFC gave Coraline a PG rating because of the creepiness of the style like Nightmare Before Christmas and I would say it defiantly has a Tim Burton style about it and with more research this is because the director Henry Selick has worked on Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach and both of them mixed together defiantly make Coraline. The tad bit of bad language and a slight bit of nudity but the rating was finalized by the bits of horror and jump scary scenes that are suitable for an over 8.
