Ice Age
A woolly mammoth, a chatty sloth, and a saber-toothed tiger team up to return a human baby to his tribe in this funny, surprisingly emotional adventure. The film earns its PG rating with several intense chase and peril sequences, a mother's implied death, and some genuinely scary predator imagery that may rattle little ones.
Most comfortable for kids 6 and up; sensitive fives may want a parent close by for the tiger and volcano scenes.
If you’d rather skip
Scrat is caught between crushing walls of ice, nearly squashed, and then falls a great height, bouncing repeatedly; played for laughs but may startle the very youngest.
Soto's tiger pack raids a human village at night; several humans are attacked and one is knocked aside, culminating in a mother fleeing for her life with her baby.
Roshan's mother leaps a waterfall to escape the tigers; she places the baby with Manny and is then swept away and implied to have drowned, shown with emotional weight rather than graphic detail.
