1) Understanding of a "children's film".
In my opinion, a children's film is a type of film, commonly classified as a "U" or a "PG", that are created for children and parents to enjoy. They tend to include little or no violence, mild language and no use of drugs or alcohol unless shown as a bad thing.
A steriotipical children's film would be an animated film - a good example would be a Disney film (snow white, finding nemo etc...) Most of which include amusing elements, humor, contain some form of moral and are simple to follow/understand.
The problem with children's films is that they have to be both "attractive" to not only children but the parents aswell Especially due to the fact that it isn't the children paying for the film, it's their parents.
In general, a children's film has to be, entertaining, funny and appropriate to be successful.
Children's films are not ALWAYS animated. A perfect example would be the "Home Alone" franchise, made specifically for families with young children to enjoy.
2) Understanding of the classifications "PG" and "U".
Bad language
Drugs
Discrimination
Horror scenes that turn out bad
Sexual behaviour - apart from a kiss
Nudity
Violence with a bad outcome
Glamorisation of anything "bad" - Weapons, alcohol, etc...
Mild language
Drugs with an anti-drugs message
Mild natural nudity
Mild violence
Sexual references that the children will not understand
Horror with a happy outcome
The BBFC are responsible for deciding what films should be rated as or what changes should be made in films.

2) Understanding of the classifications "PG" and "U".
U
A film rated "U" tends to always be a film directed at children. If a film is rated you, it will not contain:Bad language
Drugs
Discrimination
Horror scenes that turn out bad
Sexual behaviour - apart from a kiss
Nudity
Violence with a bad outcome
Glamorisation of anything "bad" - Weapons, alcohol, etc...
PG
"PG" rated films usually are commonly aimed at families with young children. Although they tend to be a little deeper and strong than rated "U" films, they still have to be perfectly appropriate for children to watch. They won't contain anything as above in "U" rated films, but may contain...Mild language
Drugs with an anti-drugs message
Mild natural nudity
Mild violence
Sexual references that the children will not understand
Horror with a happy outcome
