Not very impressive.

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2006)

So far DreamWorks Pictures has only produced two worthwhile computer-animated films (the "Shrek" movies) and "Ice Age" is another reminder of why Pixar has them beat in almost all aspects.
First of all the only good thing about this movie is the cast - Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary. The animation is terrible for the most part and it just isn't very clever, funny or witty - at least not as much as it should be.
If you've seen any Pixar films you'll instantly realize why they're vastly superior to DreamWorks' animated department - comparing "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo" to "Ice Age" and "Shark Tale," for example, proves to be a laughable comparison.
Unfortunately a sequel is coming out to this quite soon and judging from the trailer it's going to be a horrendeous cash-in.
