The Best One in the Series

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2019)

Ice Age is perfect example of an animated film that's suitable for kids and adults.
The movie takes place during an ice age, where temperatures are going below freezing and animals are migrating south. However, a lonely mammoth named Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) is going the opposite direction. He then meets up with an irritating, but likable sloth, Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo) and a kind hearted saber tooth tiger named Diego (voiced by Denis Leary). Manny and Sid find a human baby boy and want to return it to his tribe, while Diego tags along and pretends to do the same thing, when in reality, he's setting them up for a trap. So it is up to the three misfits to survive through the coldest weather of all. There's also a saber tooth squirrel named Scrat who all he wants to do is find a spot to bury his acorn, but always gets into messes.
Ice Age has a very unique plot. The characters are very likable and funny. The animation is good, however it does have the worst animation of all of the Ice Age movies. But that's not a bad thing because they went from good to better in this case with the sequels.
The voice acting is also very good. They got a great cast to voice these characters.
The pacing for the movie is also fantastic for 80 minutes.
Bottom line, Ice Age is an excellent movie for all ages.
