U Certificate- Any film classed as a 'U' should technically have no specific need to cater to adults, however this is questionable today as many films such as 'Toy Story' use adult references which children do not have to understand to enjoy the film. Universal is suitable for anyone over 5, and should have a positive moral framework that children can learn from. However, a 'U' certificate film does not necessarily need to be for children, it just means that there is no offensive content. There should also be a counterbalance to any threat, for example in 'Up' when the old man and child are having a deep conversation about family issues, two dogs were playing in the background to lighten the mood and diffuse tension. It should also be suitable for children to watch alone. There should be no drug references, no sex references and no bad language or discrimination.
