Subtle, sweet and hilarious, very good indeed.

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2007)

Genre: Prehostoric creatures, animation, comedy, family.
Main characters: Manfred the mammoth, Sid the Sloth/Thid the thloth, Diego the Sabretoothed tiger and the baby.
What happens: The film starts with a rather determined-to-have-his-acorn creature called Scrat, who in trying to get his acorn, causes a few glaciers to collide. Then you meet Sid and Manny...
My thoughts: It looks like Chris Wedge, who had done just little films before this film, could produce a motion picture SO good, that it became a hit at the box office (something which everyone seems to care about...) and it did well otherwise, making loads of people enjoy it all around the world (oh yes and they also put it into many different languages).
Yes, this is a good film, no doubt about it. Pretty good use of computer animation, especially in background. The characters are very likable and their lives and personalities are very subtle in a good way (their past is certainly not easy to understand). The jokes are very good, funny and not too unclean (unlike in films such as "Open Season"). The excitement is also not very high, a few fighting and scary scenes (not too bad for the youngsters though) but apart from that not much. Everyone wants action films nowadays and yet this was a big hit! I just don't understand it.
So if you are a CGI liking child or a CGI liking adult, then you will love/like this in some way.
Recommended to: Families who like animated films, people who like characters who are subtle and people who are interested in preostoric animals. Enjoy! :-)
