Terrible, idiotic mess is my vote for worse film, so far, of 2002.

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2002)

Crude animation, inferior story, and few laughs makes this Monster, Inc./Shrek wannabe a painful example of how computer animation can not only raise the level of such story-telling, but lower it to new depths as well. Compare this film with early Warner Brothers such as Road Runner and Bugs Bunny (it's inspiration of sorts), or heck even new Speilberg Warner Brothers, and it falls way short despite sixty some years of progress. Even a lesser Disney effort like Return to Neverland has more to offer in it's first two minutes than all of Ice Age. All artistic merit has been abandoned in lieu of juvenile computer graphics and a tired story line. Just because the producers knew their intended audience would not demand more than a typical computer game does not mean they had to dive so low in the intelligence pool. Don't expect kids seeing this film today sharing it with their own kids twenty years from now. More likely they will be denying they even saw it. My vote for the worse film, so far, of 2002. Even if you consider Pokemon high art and Harry Potter classic literature this film doesn't even rise up to those darken depths for entertainment value. If you're an idiot and want to feel smart go see Ice Age, you might feel smart, but you would still be an idiot, and you surely won't be entertained, just stuck in the Ice Age.
