Nice, but not the best

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2002)

Wohoo! 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...
