Sabertooths, Sloths and Mammoth's--OH MY!

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2006)

This animated film is up to the standard of the classic Disney animation. It has a wonderful plot that pulls you in and has you rooting for the characters. The characters themselves are charming and likable. The vocal talents of Ray Romano as Manny the Mammoth, Dennis Leary as Diego the Sabertooth and John Leguizamo as Sid the Sloth, and a slew of supporting voices breath real life into the animated, but not cartoonish, characters.
In the movie, the three main characters get thrown together in the quest to reunite a lost human child with his "pack". Along the way, they learn to understand and care about each other. It is a heartwarming story, and might seem predictable. But it isn't.
There are plenty of surprises along the way.
Oh, and there's poor Scrat, one of these days, he might actually get to keep the acorn he's chasing.
Actually, the scenes with scat are what keep it from being a perfect 10 for me. They go on a bit long for my taste.
