Synopsis:
Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Dove Worldview:
In the latest installment of Ice Age, our fearless team gets separated from the rest of their family and friends by the shifting continents. As they search the seas for their home land, they encounter pirates who attempt to thwart their efforts. During this time, the lost family struggles to get to a rendezvous point so they can all be reunited.

This movie exhibits strong family bonds and supports the notion that friends should also stick together. We are pleased to award this film our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for all ages and encourage you to take the whole family to this wonderful picture.
