"Ice Age" is one of those movies you think you would never wind up loving. It's a fairly simple idea, a buddy movie, that has done plenty of times before. And yet it is pulled off with such heart and purity that I can't resist its charm. The aforementioned simple storyline is yet a good one that relies on a tried-and-true formula, and the perfect casting and humor makes this work. There is plenty of sass and humor, all kept relatively as prehistoric as this type of film could get without falling on lame pop culture references. The CGI is still one of my favorites--it's meant to look cartooney and the effect is marvelous. Yes, there are plenty of cynics against this, but to the right audience this provides plenty of laughs, lots of heart, and even a few shed tears.
the only good thing about the movie was i got it. it had food on it and obvoisly would not play. it also had a crack in it and i basically had to throw it in the garbage. it a shame people try to sell products without knowing what condition they are in first.
