buih-47731 I can't count how many times i watched this amazing heartwarming movie on my ten fingers and ten toes, its just a great movie. Actually it is one of the first movies i remember watching

Pjtaylor-96-138044 It's a short, simple story with a strong structure and three somewhat stereotypical yet superbly crafted central characters, set against a unique backdrop of prehistoric permafrost strangely unexplored on film considering its interesting inhabitants and splendid scenery (not to mention the artistic licence inherent with a narrative that takes place so very long ago); the animation (and general graphic) style is rough around the edges but ultimately snappy, lively and aesthetically pleasing, with the picture painting a stylistic yet consistent world full of envelope-pushing environmental effects (ala snow and water) that ground the cartoon- esque physics and give them a proper weight, but it's really the interplay of the main players that marks this piece as a cut above the rest as each of them arise as distinct individuals with believable arcs and interesting dynamics - not to mention the fact that the feature is much more emotionally affecting than you'd expect and is pretty funny too (especially in a couple of stand-out set-pieces, most notably 'the dodo debacle.') 7/10

Miguel Neto Ice Age is one of my favorite animations, watched a lot as a child, and I reviewed already a teenager, and I still like as before, the characters are fun, Manny, Diego and Sid trio is very good, lots of laughs, the work of actors in the voice of the characters is very good, Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Chris Wedge, Jack Black and etc, the animation is very well done, the script is good, has great moments, scenes with the Tigers are good, and also has moments that can thrills, the rhythm is good, the soundtrack is good, the Ice Age saga began promising, had fun sequences, more well below the first film. Note 8.4

SnoosReviews Ice Age is a good movie, there is no doubt about that. As with most popular animation flicks, it appeals to all ages and has a decent enough mix of humour to keep all the family entertained. I loved Ice Age growing up and have memories of it being one of the favourite animated movies of all time. Having re-watched it at weekend, 7 or 8 years after previously viewing it, I felt a little flat. Sid seriously carries the film, many of the jokes and the majority of the dialogue comes through him. The supporting cast all do a pleasant job, Manny is entertaining and they do share some good chemistry but the film relies heavily on Sid's presence.I couldn't help but compare Ice Age to two very famous animated movies. The relationship between Sid and Manny and the unlikely relationship that they develop is reminiscent of Shrek and Donkey. The way they take care of the baby, taking him into their tribe, naming him Pinky and looking after him and getting emotionally attached as they search for his parents, reminded me too much of Monsters Inc. I don't know how I didn't see these comparisons in the past but upon recent viewing they were far too blindly obvious.With a run time of less than 1 hour 20 minutes, Ice Age really struggles with the pacing. It takes 20 or so minutes to introduce all the characters and get the plot in order then it flies through the next hour! We see scenes which could have added a little more depth - the drawings of Mammoths on the cave wall for example, this was brushed aside very quickly which I thought was a shame. I personally think Ice Age could have benefited with being 15-20 minutes longer.With the negatives that I have mentioned above being considered, I still think Ice Age is a very good film! It is funny, feel good, caring and creative. An aspect that I especially liked was that the animals didn't have a home, they weren't based anywhere, it was essentially a road trip. They moved from place to place, out of their comfort zone with only each other for support and guidance. I appreciated the message behind the story and enjoyed how the movie panned out as it progressed. The on screen relationship between Sid and Manny is very well done and Diego is a decent enough addition to the group. The story is pleasant if not a little clichéd and the comedy is a decent mix of slapstick and subtle humour. This is certainly the strongest film in the Ice Age franchise and certainly worth a watch!8/10
