Entertainment that will stand the test of time

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2002)

I'll let others retell the tale and describe the details point for point, I just want to recapture the mood and relate its effect on the audience of the screening I attended.
What a delightful surprise. Ice Age is loaded with well crafted characters, an excellent accessible script, and great visual slapstick. Inside the theater where I saw the movie, the audience laughed loudly and often. So did I. Everyone left the theater smiling.
Unlike many other recent big budget animation pictures, the voice acting matched the characters personalities perfectly and did not take me out of the movie in the least.
But in the end, it was the simplicity of the movie that make me believe that it will stand the test of time, which is why I gave it a 10.
Excellent!
