Well, just come back from a special preview of the film. first thoughts ?.... wow ! ... what a great film !!! ..
I am not going to blab on about the story as many other people have already done that ...
For those of you who have already seen it though, don't you think that 'Scrat' is the cutest little guy you EVER seen ????? I really really would love to watch his adventures on its own ... i don't need anything else ! ... lets just have 81 minutes of just that little prehistoric sabre-tooth squirrel trying to find the "right" spot to bury his acorn !...
I even found myself going to Toys 'r' Us afterwards to see if i could find any "Scrat" soft toys ... obviously they have done their homework in marketing :)
but at least he pops up from time time in the story, which was good, i found myself saying "yeeees" everytime the story had him involved !! .... Overall though, i felt was the story was a little shallow when you compare this to Pixar's "Monsters INC" but i think the animation IS better in 'Ice Age' ... the animators have really done a fantastic job of creating a realistic world, the shadows and lighting deserve a special mention, really wonderful to watch ! ... and even the humans (the hardest of creatures to realistically animate !) were believable !! .. however of course they didn't have to concentrate on the backgrounds quite *just* as much!
Well, thats all i am going to say really ... i think the other reviews before this says everything about the story ...
Just .....PLEASE ... MORE SCRAT'S ADVENTURES !!!! .... at least the end is "open ended" :D ... so maybe we will .......
Take Care people ..
