If your children enjoyed the previous films, they will likely be ready to float away on this oceanic adventure.ĭirected by Steve Martino, Mike Thurmeier. Promoting an alternative definition of family, Ice Age: Continental Drift brings out the best in this group of friends who commit to watch each other’s backs. And the heroes encounter some scary sea monsters on the journey to reunite with the rest of their “herd”. The seafaring pirates also fashion weapons out of shells and pieces of sharpened bones that they threaten their captives with. However, the film’s frequent portrayals of comedic violence and moments of peril may frighten younger children-especially when characters are repeatedly hit, squashed, poked, tossed and put at risk. Pre-chewed prunes, slapstick antics and rude bodily humor are among the subjects mined for jokes.
While some of the humor in the past productions has had a decidedly adult overtone, most of the jokes in this story are aimed directly at the under ten crowd. However what the trio and Sid’s tag-a-long grandma (voice by Wanda Sykes) don’t expect to encounter on their journey is a nefarious band of pirates led by the ape Captain Gutt (voice by Peter Dinklage). Calling out to his wife Ellie (voice by Queen Latifah) and his daughter Peaches (voice by Keke Palmer) as he floats away, Manny promises to find his way back to them. Meanwhile Manny (voice by Ray Romano), Diego (voice by Denis Leary) and Sid (voice by John Leguizamp) are separated from the rest of the animals when they are caught on a chunk of ice that breaks off from the shifting terrain.
