  can only watch the
  films.

  and over can go an
  unaccompanied but
  children younger than

  supervising them that’s
  why its called 12A. A
  stands for advisory or
  accompained.

                 12A?

  more of videos, DVD’s and blu-rays which is not

  child must be accompanied by an adult (18 and
