What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience1/5
Why this rating?

Scrat repeatedly confronts danger and improvises escapes, though his actions are driven more by acorn obsession than principled bravery.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Time travel through eras, inventive escape attempts, clones, a wormhole, and surreal time imagery strongly encourage imaginative play.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Historical eras and inventions appear as comic settings, but teaching real history or science is not the film's main purpose.

Positive messages1/5
Why this rating?

Implicit message about the irony of obsession and the value of what one possesses.
