As a parent with young kids, G movies will literally have nothing scary at all. Both PG or G won’t have vulgar words, but PG might have like “butt” or something very minorly offensive.
For example, in Zootopia, there are some “intense” scenes where the animals go feral and chase other animals. The chased animals look terrified for their lives. This can cause some younger kids to get scared/frightened by those scenes. In a G movie, there would be nothing that intense. Zootopia also has some innuendo humor, e.g. the scene where the fox takes the rabbit cop to an animal “nudist” yoga club. G movies wouldn’t have that type of humor.
Hope that clears it up for you.
Edit: for the record, the scene in this post was edited and the fox’s head position is never like that. I’ve seen the movie dozens of times, and while there may be some minor sexual innuendo, there is nothing so blatant as this
Very fair point, thanks for providing further historical context.
There are definitely some older kids movies even that have some, “wtf?” aspects about them by today’s standards. Hell, we started watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit a year ago or so with one of our younger kids and my wife and I just looked at each other, “ehhhh maybe this isn’t really kid appropriate after all,” and turned it off.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:
Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

Like maybe the cartoon shoe character getting torture murdered or the psychotic killer gloating over the prior killing of the detective’s brother
