Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
Very little sexual content: Scrat and his female friend flirt and pair off, Manny and Ellie hug and lock trunks, and Sid makes jokes about mistaking an animal's gender.
Violence & Gore
Lots of cartoonish violence, some humorous and some potentially frightening; dinosaurs threaten to injure the protagonists, and Buck loses an eye offscreen to Rudy, though the audience does not see it.
Profanity
Very little language: mild insults, usually directed at Sid, and scatological jokes such as "poop" and "barf."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
The editorial review marks alcohol, drugs and smoking as absent.
Frightening Scenes
Some suspense and intensity, especially dinosaur scenes; characters chase, face close calls, and Rudy and the raptors are described as intense or scary-looking.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
Positive message about family and belonging: no one gets left behind, new members are welcome, and teamwork and courage are themes.
Role models
Ellie is described as a strong female character who asserts herself, and Buck sacrifices to defend friends.
Representation
Review describes Ellie as a strong female character portrayed against protestations that she cannot defend herself, supporting a narrow observation about gender portrayal only.
Learning
Families can discuss the central message about an unconventional herd/family and how the violence compares to other kids' movies; the review says the movie may spark interest in prehistoric animals.
