Luckily though they realised they over stepped the mark with a film that involves making soap out of people and beating their mates up.Mary Poppins has had its UK age rating lifted from U to PG almost 60 years after its release because of "discriminatory language".
The British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) said the decision over the 1964 classic, starring Dame Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, had been made over the use of the colonial term, Hottentots.
The derogatory word was historically used by white Europeans to refer to the Khoikhoi people in South Africa.
I predict A Clockwork Orange being a U soon!
Brad Pitt's Fight Club was downgraded from an 18 rating to 15 despite its portrayal of "sequences of graphic and brutal violence".Tags: None
