What Parents Need to Know
About Ice Age: The Meltdown
Parents need to know that because of global warming, the heroes are in peril from rising waters and they are stalked by somewhat scary-looking underwater creatures. There is comic slapstick violence (the acorn-chasing muskrat is squashed, splatted, attacked by a vulture, etc.), a sad memory of a mother's death, and a flood, and the tiger's fear of water is rendered in a couple of "nightmare" images (his point of view underwater, with big music). The film includes some very mild language ("crap," "ass," "pervert").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the alternative family (here called a "herd") developed by our plucky heroes. How do their different talents and interests help them to survive? How do they learn to support one another rather than argue or compete? How does Sid, who shows a persistent faith in everyone's worth, become the "glue" that holds them all together? How does the introduction of new members (Ellie and her possum brothers) temporarily disrupt the dynamic, as characters are jealous or afraid of being abandoned?

cute story
The story was really nice about 6 animals trying to save the other animals from a melt down. Good for kids under 10.

A hysterical movie with a few questionable points.
I will put it this way- Ice Age: The Meltdown is an extremely funny movie. It has a great plot, awesome characters, and stunning animation. But with all of those pros, it has a few cons. There is a small bit of mild language( a--, crap) and some mild sexual innuendoes about Manny and Ellie now being able to save their species. This movie would have gotten 5 out of 5 stars if it had not been for the questionable content. 8 and up.

Ice Age: pretty good
It's a good movie for all ages, but I was surprised at some of the language. The animation is good and the plot also. Both the first and the Melt Down are worth watching stars: 4 Not for 8 and under

Family Film but not for younger children
Some of the humor is definitely written for teens or adults, but younger children can enjoy the comedy and visuals. It is a little grim compared to the original "Ice Age". My six year old enjoyed it - watching with an adult to explain some things, but inappropriate for younger children.

Great Movie. 7 y.o. son has watched it twice.

Cute and a little edgy
It was very entertaining with a few questionable parts which seem to have gone over the heads of the little ones anyway. It definitely kept my 4 year old glued to the screen and repeating some of the lines all week long even after seeing it only once! The Sid worshipping scene was one of the highlights for sure.
