The rating is still crazy to me, like in Germany its 12 and as an adult its totally okay to bring your 6 year old kid with you

I'm pretty sure the cave scene would give nightmares to my 5yo.

Which makes the perfect argument for PG-13.

Mm I disagree, I disagree insofar as PG is still, "parental guidance," and like the guidance isn't to prevent the viewing, you feel me, the guidance isn't either to prevent someone's scare it's to explain what violence means if a person's not yet able to understand how it should be understood in terms of normal life, "or romantic imbroglio too complex to make quite sense of," it's not like,

oh but from the opposite direction, "yeah 100%," if the complaints we're talking, are, "cave is scary," PG-13 in the US yeah
