  • Ice Age -- Charming animated feature about a cranky wooly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), a good-intentioned sloth (voiced by John Leguizamo) and a potentially dangerous saber-toothed tiger (voiced by Denis Leary) who band together to reunite an abandoned human baby with his family as the Ice Age quickly approaches. Although the adventure tale and its pairing of contrary characters are familiar, director Chris Wedge enlivens the proceedings with bouncy physical humor, punchy one-liners and skillfully drawn animation while tossing in a light lesson on familial love, no matter who makes up the family unit. A few frightening moments possibly too intense for the very young. A-I -- general patronage. (PG) 2002




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
