Fun and entertaining but perhaps a tad overrated

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2020)

'Ice Age' was hugely popular when I was growing up and has remained a fan-favourite after all these years. It gets the balance between being a kids movie while also appealing to older audiences just about right, which would explain why it is such at hit with people of all ages.
This is certainly a good, fun family film and I remember getting a lot of enjoyment out of it as a kid. However, when comparing it to some of the other main animated family films of the 2000s, I can't agree with the ratings that put it among the best. For me, 'Ice Age' isn't in the same league as classics like 'Finding Nemo' and 'The Incredibles'.
'Ice Age' is a good animated film that works for all ages, but I can't help but feel it is a little overrated. It doesn't have that special something that all the best animated family films have, but what that is I'm not quite sure.
