Pretty Cool (Forgive the bad pun)

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2002)

"Ice Age" is a great way to pass an hour and a half or so. It's funny and really, really cute, and the animation's absolutely brilliant. It's not to the level of "Shrek" or anything, but there are some really good jokes. The characters are unique, and my favourite is Sid the Sloth. He's not only really funny-looking, he's also hilarious. The squirrel is also cool, although you end up feeling so sorry for him because he's so unlucky. It's not a brilliant movie, but it's fun, and a good family film (You know, the ones where you say you're going with the kids to watch, but you're really watching it yourself). If you don't expect intellectual stimulation from your films, go watch it before the ice age comes.
