Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs--which received positive reviews from Christian movie Web sites--is scheduled for release on DVD Oct. 27 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and is being distributed to Christian retail by Word Distribution.

With the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary and Queen Latifah, the 97-minute animation--which was released July 1--generated $196 million in 4,102 theaters nationwide, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.

Rated PG for some mild rude humor and peril, the film has some positive moral, redemptive themes, according to Christian film critics. Movieguide magazine praised the third installment of the popular "Ice Age" series as "one of the best fun, funny, exciting entertaining movies of the year."
