Determining whether or not to make a DVD juvenile or adult is not a precise science since everyone's definition of what makes a PG movie adult vs. juvenile varies. Our major concern is making sure age inappropriate titles stay out of juvenile. The way this works is that our DVD vendor determines by information from the studios which standing order plan the title belongs to. In this case Rise of the Guardians was a feature film released in theatres. All feature films are classified as adults. While this rule of thumb may not be perfect it prevents the vendor from having to contact us on all PG movies for us to do the research necessary to tell the vendor where to put the DVD. If we took that approach it would significantly slow down the processing and release of DVDs.
