hyped garbage

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

When I saw this I hadn't seen "Ice Age" in about 7 or 8 years. Now when I re-watch a movie from my childhood, I like it the same, better, or less. I liked "Ice Age" sort of the same but a little less.
The movie is about Manny, Sid, and Diego who help a baby find his home. Manny hates him though, Siid loves him, and Diego wants to EAT him.
There are many positives, there's a good story, it's original, the animation is decent, and I even laughed a few times, something I rarely do when watching animated movies.
However, I felt a couple scenes were slow and most importantly, it mentions evolution and mentions that it is correct. The movie is set "20 million years ago" and characters speak of "evolving" traits, like flying. One character, Scrat, tries to catch an acorn. At the end, he is frozen in ice 20,000 years later. Really? How is he still alive. And don't say "it's a cartoon" because name one cartoon character that is 20,000 years old. Scrat can be that old and Adam couldn't live to be 530?
All in all, "Ice Age" is a good movie, but if you are a creationist like me, beware of the evolution talk.

This is the first of what was to become a series of animated films with animal characters living in the ice age. Ostensibly for children, it carries a PG rating. It could be because of some of the mild violence that's shown, and some of the scary characters – notably the lions. But more than likely, it's because of the humorous dialog that at times is adult. Indeed, I think "Ice Age" and it's follow-up films were made more for adults than for kids. It is funny and entertaining, and I think suitable for the whole family. It's one of a small field of films that all ages will sit still for. The little tykes like the fuzzy, cute and bug-eyed animal characters. The young kids and teens will like the action and antics. And adults mostly will enjoy the dialog. This one was a big hit and the sequels continue to draw the crowds. So long as the writers can come up with new ideas for plots, Manny, Sid, Diego and a nameless crazy squirrel could be around a long time. Maybe even to the next ice age.

This film have some sort of warmth. One great point about this film is the beauty of the animation. All the environments and characters are modeled originally by clay, giving the film an artistic edge.Another aspect that adds to the feel of the film, is that gender means very little. There are hardly any female characters, but you do not really realize that until after you watch it, a few times and even then it has little effect on the way you view the film.The story id simple but effective, the characters lovable and nicely fleshed out but what shines is the digital set design. It is family-friendly and sometimes just hilariously funny.
