Ice Age 6 rating: what we know

Short answer: It isn't rated yet. The BBFC has rated only a trailer.

For context, Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) is rated:

  • US (MPA): PG, for mild rude humor and some action/peril.
  • UK (BBFC): U, for mild slapstick and very mild bad language. The BBFC describes approaching meteors, a chase by flying reptiles, "butt," and very mild toilet humor.

The first Ice Age (2002) is PG for mild peril. Common Sense Media lists Collision Course for 6+.

The habit kids may copy: the comic bash

The BBFC describes animal characters comically bashing one another in Collision Course. It's funny on screen and less funny on a little brother.

Try tonight: freeze first

Play a freeze game: when you say "Pause!", everyone freezes and takes one breath before moving again. Use the same word later when play gets rough. In our program, this is the lesson "The Pause Button": stop, breathe, choose.
