Ice Age is coming
Back when the Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and animals were scurrying to save themselves from the upcoming Ice Age, a stupid sloth named Sid, a woolly mammoth named Manny, a saber-toothed tiger named Diego, and an acorn-loving saber-toothed squirrel named Scrat are forced to become unlikely heroes. The four reluctantly come together when they have to return a human child to its father while braving the deadly elements of the impending Ice Age.

FUN FUN FUN
posted on 06 Aug 2009I saw it with a friend of mine. Imagine two grown ups sitting in the theater full of kids and toddlers and laughing even more than them. Well that shows two sides of the story. First, the movie is really cute and funny. But, second, truth be told, jokes are a bit grown up. Carefully timed and executed references to things that adults would recognize elicited well deserved giggles and chuckles from the moms and dads, leaving children wondering what the fun is all about. But, in the next scene, the never failing smash into the wall leaving an outline cutout had those kids rolling with laughter. Overall, I do think it sits well with all ages. It delivers what it promises, by which I mean entertainment and lightheartedness. Definitely worth it!
Appealing characters, good humor, creative story
posted on 23 Jul 2009A well designed yet wildly playful romp which is fun, silly, touching, clever, and creative all while telling a very sincere story. Of the many animated talking animal movies, this is one of the best.The characters are immediately likable. The film introduces the principals in a series of actions that demonstrate some favorable personality traits while revealing they have weakness too. As the story progresses, we get to know these creatures through their interaction as they slowly learn to trust and even like one another.The construct of the movie is a quest. A wooly mammoth, a sabre-toothed tiger, and a sloth join forces to return a baby human to its people, after a tragedy the child survives. The mammoth was my favorite, a heroic and gentle giant who made the silent pact with a dying human to save the child. He has nothing to gain personally for doing this; it's just the right thing to do. The sloth makes a great comic relief sidekick, and the tiger Diego is a deceptively complex character that is developed well. The running gag with the little guy trying to capture a nut that is seemingly always just out of his reach works well and seems to fit anywhere they choose to put it.The characters grow in ways which are surprising during the first viewing, but the logic in how they change ultimately makes sense. The film tells a wonderful story, and some moments, like the petroglyph imagery are quite touching. The expressions on the faces of the characters are magnificently done; no words need be said. The wild ice slide ride (with its ingenious sight gags) are the other side of the picture, just some entertaining silliness for its own sake.The movie involves you with the characters, as you join them on their journey. It's a sweet story with a lot of heart, and accomplishes this with both good natured humor and a moving outcome. Good for adults and kids alike.
Good, not great
posted on 27 Jun 2009I saw this film with five, eight, eleven and forty year old children. Between us, we've seen almost every animated film made in the last twelve years, in most cases multiple times. (We deliberately missed "The Emperor's New Groove" and "El Dorado" after reading early reviews.) The general consensus was that, while not up to the best of the computer-animated genre, it was entertaining and amusing. (I especially liked John Leguizamo's voice for Sid the Sloth.) We rated it as better than "Monster's Inc." but not as good as "Shrek" or either of the "Toy Story" films. Roughly equivalent to "Jimmy Neutron". Or as, my husband pointed out, he wouldn't pay to see it in a theater a second time, but he wouldn't be driven crazy by the kids playing it over and over once we got the DVD, either.And the more players in the animation field, either traditional or computer-generated, the better, for those people like me who feel that animated films are generally underappreciated as an art form. (Personally, I think the fact that Disney no longer has a lock on quality animated features is all to the good.) I will keep an eye out for new features from this group.
Hilarious!!!
posted on 25 Jun 2009My 30-something wife, 7-year-old son, and I saw this movie on Friday, March 15, 2002. We all LOVED it! It was absolutely hilarious!Sid has some one-liners that blow down the house, but that poor little Scrat fella'... the guy just can't get a BREAK!Hooray for Fox! It was such a shame when they shut down their animation studio here in Phoenix a couple of years ago. If they keep doing movies as funny as this one, they may be able to come back. This film is definitely a GREAT comeback for Fox - I'm very glad to see that they're doing so well at the box office.I would love to see more movies like this one, so go see Ice Age! You won't be disappointed.
Not as good as it could have been
posted on 23 Jun 2009I was slightly disappointed. It had the necessary plucks on theheart strings. I was bit suprised by the level of beating up onweaker animals. I guess it is OK and amusing to bully and beat onthose smaller and less intelligent. I also noticed that EVERYpreview had an obligatory "fecal reference". The previews weren'tthe end of it. The beginning of the film includes a small sloth-likecreature stepping in an another animal's feces and reacting like ahuman would if he or she stepped in dog doo-doo and then itsteps on another animals food.
An Animated film for All ages!
posted on 23 Jun 2009One of the truly finest examples of animation in the new age of computer animated films. This little film has it all, a very funny script, delightful characters, a perfect cast of voice actors, fantastic animation, a terrific score by David Newman, poignant scenes and a sweet story of animals trying to survive the ice age. Ray Romano does a great job as Manny the Mammoth, John Leguizamo is fine as Sid the Sloth, Dennis Leary is perfect as Diego the fierce sabre tooth tiger who learns the meaning of friendship and the character of Skrat the wacky squirrel, voiced by director Chris Wedge, steals every scene he's in and becomes a star. The plot involves an unlikely trio of animals trying to deliver a lost human child back to his tribe. Kudos to all the animators, artists, technicians and everyone else involved in this wonderful film.
A movie for kids and grown ups!
posted on 21 Jun 2009Well I must stress that I didn't really laugh much over the course of Ice Age, maybe it's because I'm too serious, but I didn't really find anything funny in this movie, perhaps I just smiled a few times. Well this is a great and different animated movie. It was also original, since it shows the beautiful landscapes of a cold winter. I love snow, so I think that's why I liked it. The cinematography is gorgeous and the story is somewhat interesting. It's a nice movie for kids and also for grown ups. I saw many adults and kids in the theater and they all seemed to have enjoyed the whole film. I don't really think I wasted my money seeing this. On the contrary, it was well done and quite entertaining. It leaves a good message for all people: help your friends whenever they need it. This movie shows how other children's movies should be. There are so many rude and inappropriate movies for children and kids really need a good influence for their lives, but I'm certainly glad it's not like that. Overall it's an entertaining movie that everybody will enjoy. 7/10
Bye Bye Baby!
posted on 19 Jun 2009I saw this movie with my 20-month old daughter Victoria and I have to say that I recommend to all parents out there to take their young children to see this movie.Now, I don't know if all 20 month old will sit through it, but mine did and she was fascinated by the whole experience (it was her first movie in a theater, but she's already a veteran of computer animation movies having watched Shrek and both Toy Stories many many many times.The movie is not scary and very cute. There are no violent scenes that might frightened the young ones.I can't wait for it to come out on dvd so I can watch again and again with Victoria.Enjoy...
Nice, but not the best
posted on 19 Jun 2009Wohoo! Animated movie! These usually make me curious...and I usually like to compare them, as long as they're comedies, to "The Emperor's New Groove"...so here we go on a short ride in the ICE AGE... SPOILERS
Ice Age is a nice comedy...we have this strange pack: a mammoth, named Manfred, a saber-toothed tiger, named Diego, and a sloth, named Sid.Oh, and let's not forget Scrat! The sweet little mammal, with his acorn! I believe Scrat's probably the funniest character in the movie.
Well, after a nice introduction, and a little bit of action, Manfred and Sid end up in looking after a human baby. They decide to take the baby back to the humans, but they have a long way to go, and they have to catch up with the humans.
Just then comes Diego...he's mission is to take the baby alive to the leader of the saber-toothed tigers. Unluckily for him, it's not really easy to get the baby from a huge mammoth...so he initially decides to betray his companions, and to lead them to the horde of saber-toothed tigers...well, it's not really a horde, only several, but...enough to finish Manfred. Of course, things will become rather complicated on the way, and a bond will appear between them.
The movie is nice, and enjoyable, but I believe it's not as good as The Emperor's New Groove...that one's a lot funnier! I think this movie's more for children than for adults...still, you might just want to watch it...
Ice Cold Goodness
posted on 17 Jun 2009This is Ice Age, from Blue Sky Studios, the studio that brought us the short film "Bunny" and various animations on other shows. Blue Sky makes their first CG film, Ice Age.The film tells the story of three animals, a mammoth named Manny, a sloth named Sid, and a saber-toothed cat named Diego. They meet each other during the ice age, but yet have to return a human baby to its tribe.There is nothing wrong with the film, some say it's a rip-off of Monsters, Inc.'s storyline. I think those narrow-minded critics should just say similar instead of saying rip-off. Why does everything have to be a rip-off?! Just use the word similar, it's a nicer word.Anyhow, the animation is nice, better than DreamWorks but it's no Pixar. I also liked the gags, especially the prehistoric rhinos (I forgot the species name), Carl and Frank, and their weird ways. I also liked the scene with Sid in the mud bath with the female sloths, or the scenes involving Scrat. Who can't forget him? This is a fine movie, no ifs, ands, or buts.
Very Funny Movie. A lot better than "Robots"
posted on 03 Jun 2009This is an extremely funny movie. Although some of it seems stolen from other movies, it manages to pull off a difficult job: making a believable world that is consistently funny throughout. Undeniably, the best part is Scrat (or is it Scrap). Whenever he's on screen, I can't help to bust out laughing. Too bad he's not part of the main story. The main characters include a mammoth Manny (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), and Diego the saber tooth tiger (Dennis Leary; apparently, they didn't think alliteration was appropriate for this character). All in all, these characters manage to get some good laughs (although they pale in comparison with Scrat). Sid can sometimes get annoying, but overall the three main characters aren't bad.There are plenty of good scenes, including a fight with a group of apocalyptic dodos, an amusing trip in an ice cave, and a final scene with Diego's pack. Some parts of the movie feel stolen from other movies. The pack feels like something from "The Lion King" and the baby seems like it was lifted out of "Monsters Inc." Furthermore, although I'm not complaining about the voice talents, I wish they would do what Pixar does, and mine the creative depths of the staff as opposed to just going to large scale celebrities for voices.Still, this was an excellent animated film. I would recommend this over "Robots" any day.
Pretty Cool (Forgive the bad pun)
posted on 30 May 2009"Ice Age" is a great way to pass an hour and a half or so. It's funny and really, really cute, and the animation's absolutely brilliant. It's not to the level of "Shrek" or anything, but there are some really good jokes. The characters are unique, and my favourite is Sid the Sloth. He's not only really funny-looking, he's also hilarious. The squirrel is also cool, although you end up feeling so sorry for him because he's so unlucky. It's not a brilliant movie, but it's fun, and a good family film (You know, the ones where you say you're going with the kids to watch, but you're really watching it yourself). If you don't expect intellectual stimulation from your films, go watch it before the ice age comes.
A charming movie for everyone
posted on 28 May 2009Kids, adults, seniors, teens...everyone should like "Ice Age." It was funny, it had a good story, it was visually impressive, the voice cast was talented...what else do I need to say here? When an animated movie can feature the development of numerous characters only through the actors' vocal performances, I think that is a great accomplishment. Denis Leary especially, as Diego the sabertooth-tiger, goes through so much development. As a villain helping the heroes, its impossible to see which way he will turn when the climax comes. And when it does come, you feel as if you have just watched something amazing happen. Ray Romano and John Leguizamo also give immense emotional contributions to the story. All the actors gave this movie a charming element that is not encountered often on film. When the movie was over, I wanted for there to be more. But I'll be okay; "Ice Age" is a tremendously good movie.
Funny but brutally straightforward
posted on 14 May 2009Much like Monsters, Inc., I had a really good time watching this movie but felt that something had gone wrong somewhere.First let's start with the good. The jokes are funny and clever and never let up. They're a good combination of the typical verbal humor and the not so typical sight gags. This movie also has one of the longest running gags I've ever seen in an animated movie. The characters are colorful and really know how to tickle your funny bone.Now the bad. The characters fall prey to unconvincing conventions later on in the movie. The story doesn't have the minor plot nitpicks that Monsters, Inc. had, but it's also much more brutally straightforward. Unlike Monsters, Inc., there's really not much point to Ice Age's story. It's there and back again, and you're left wondering "Um. Yeah."Even still, Ice Age is a fun knee-slapper that has enough charm and humor to elevate it above Dinosaur. But it lacks the gentle charm combined with zaniness found in The Emperor's New Groove or the craftiness of Chicken Run or Shrek. Even The Land Before Time was a better "buddies on a journey" movie than this one. But at any rate, I give this a 7.
excellent!
posted on 12 May 2009What to say about this beautiful, original, excellent, great, awesome, cool, lovely, charming, cool animated movie? Probably: it's a cool, cooler, the coolest animated movie in a long, longer, the longest time. (I'm learning about superlative and comparative in school!) This movie is made for kids and teens, but it also can teach elderly people some things. The part where mother gives her life for her baby is so touching, and yet so perfectly made for children. The movie has some brilliant and funny scenes. It has some sad scenes as well, but they are made into a happy ending. The movie couldn't be better!
nice way to spend an hour and a half
posted on 04 May 2009I just got back from watching Ice Age and I found it to be fairly entertaining but aimed to a younger audience. Most of the jokes involved sight gags that, albeit amusing, did not require much thought to understand. Although there were some jokes that older people would catch onto, such as the gay rhinos (don't worry it's clean). The characters and plot were very similar to Monsters Inc (they find a human baby they don't care for but grow to love etc), but one does not go to a movie like this for the plot really. All and all it was entertaining and fun
Kind of predictable, but pretty good
posted on 04 May 2009FIRST THE BAD NEWS:Unfortunately, I could not let go of the unreality of a tiger, a mammoth, and a sloth talking to each other and taking care of a human baby. I kept being bothered by the fact that sloths are known to be very slow, but this one moved very quickly. I couldn't accept that two different species of rhinoceros would be hanging out together. I just couldn't let myself get into it as a cartoon. Maybe that was because the animation was so good. If the animation had looked more fake, maybe I could have gotten into the improbable plot betterI was offended that the Dodo's were shown as going extinct because of stupidity, rather than because of human predation, which was the reality of the thing -- though I must say that their idiotic group think was an excellent social commentary. I was also offended that the Native Americans were shown as having extremely low foreheads, sort of like the tiger, implying that they did not have any brains.NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS:It wasn't too scary or violent and had a nice heartwarming story, so it would be o.k. for most kids, though I still don't think that it's a good idea to take pre-schoolers to movies that have any violence or any suspense, and this does have some.It is nice that people are starting to pay attention to the age of the giant mammals, because it has been kind of ignored in favor of the dinosaurs.The facial expressions and acting were just great. The characters were extraordinarily well-developed for a cartoon.The squirrel was really funny.
Ice Age!
posted on 22 Apr 2009This is a fantastic animated movie starring Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, and Ray Romano. Leary plays the Saber-Tooth Tiger Diego, Romano play the huge Wooly Mammoth, and Leguizamo plays the Prehistoric Sloth. All of these actors play these wonderful characters excellently! Each and every individual has a great personality and they look accurate and real. The animation is flawless! It crisp, clean, and clear! Just beautiful! Everything looks so realistic! The movie is hilarious as well. The bonus animated short called Scrat's Missing Adventure is a very funny treat! The music by David Newman is very good. If you are fan of the cast mentioned above and like the animated feature Dinosaur then I strongly recommend that you do what I did and buy this wonderful film today!
Nice flick
posted on 08 Aug 2009My family enjoyed Ice Age. It seemed to have some similarity to Shrek, with the big powerful guy not wanting to be bothered by the crazy sidekick. Shrek is more entertaining. The animation in Ice Age was astounding - pretty soon, we won't need actors anymore!
