What Parents Need to Know
About Ice Age
Parents need to know that the characters face peril several times throughout the movie, and it may be upsetting for younger children. The mother of a young child is killed (off-screen) saving the child?s life. Another character recalls the death of his family. While it is fairly mild on the "Bambi" scale, the issues of human hunting of animals, animal predators, and extinction are raised. A character makes a skeptical comment about "mating for life." There is some mild diaper humor.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what Manny says about members of a herd being willing to risk their lives for each other. Why was it so important for Manny to return the baby, even though the humans had hunted his herd? How did that help to heal some of Manny's sadness? Why did Diego change his mind about Manny? Why did Manny change his mind about Sid? Was it because of something Sid did or because of something Manny learned about himself, or both? What is different about the way that Diego and Manny react to human attacks?
