Ice Age: Continental Drift sticks to goofy, family-focused storytelling and avoids wedging modern ideological points into character arcs or casting. The focus remains on the character dynamics and comedic adventure rather than box-ticking for representation. No main character is defined only by identity, and merit and personality drive the plot forward.

Traditional family and friendship themes are front and center; the film celebrates teamwork, loyalty, and even responsible masculinity through Manny, the patriarch. No major attempts to revise cultural foundations, and family values are honored without mockery or subversion.

There’s little evidence of ideological preaching. Some modern humor slips in, but dissenting or traditional viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized in any meaningful way. The movie is more concerned with slapstick than with social engineering or enforcing a single worldview.
