Airport, one of the movies Airplane! spoofs, features an almost explicit scene of a suicide bombing aboard an airliner in flight. A pregnant woman is injured in the explosion, and a plane load of people spend the entire third act in immediate mortal danger. This movie is rated G.
Ice Age, the Disney (somehow not Pixar) movie whose plot boils down to “Three Men And A Baby, Except Animals” is rated PG for “Mild Peril.”
Raiders of the Lost Ark features explicit scenes of people being shot including blood flowing from a bullet hole, and the climax of the film features a shot of three characters’ faces melting. This movie is also PG.
Caddyshack is a comedy movie about wacky characters around a golf course. A couple women get topless, so this movie is rated R.
Raiders of the Lost Ark being PG is a bad (or good depending on your perspective) example, because the sequel (Temple of Doom) was one of the main reasons the PG-13 rating was created.
My point is, the comedy movie that features nudity and consentual sex acts is considered less acceptable for young people than the movie with graphic violence, murder and body horror.

Movie ratings are kinda bullshit anyway.

Ice Age isn’t a Disney movie; it was animated by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
And Disney owns 20th Century Fox. Granted they didn’t when the movie was released.
