Ice Age: The Film that Jump Started Blue Sky

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 2018)

When Ice Age was released in 2002, computer animation was still pretty new, but it was one of the best visual films. Starring Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo as Manny, Diego and Sid, respectively. The story was different, and it wasn't Disney, so it was kind of slow at first, but still a fairly good family film. The animation and settings were beautifully done.
Even sixteen years later, Ice Age is still a popular film that has spawned a franchise, including four sequels so far. Ice Age was also the first feature film from Blue Sky Studios, who later brought us Rio, Epic and Ferdinand. Ice Age was also honored with being nominated for best animated film at the Oscars, but lost to Spirited Away.
For the voice acting, Denis Leary stood out as the best of the cast. Ray Romano, who had mostly done stand-up and Everybody Loves Ray, was okay in his first voice over. And Leguizamo could have done better.
