Falls Behind the Pack

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2002)

Ice Age is an example of the more slapstick, less satirical animated movie. Not too long ago this would have been regarded as a decent enough cartoon. But now, with movies like Toy Story and Shrek appearing, the slapstick humor of Ice Age seems less clever and makes it less appealing. The movie has its moments, but it really doesn't compare to the more modern satirical animated film. The vocal talents are impressive, especially Ray Romano and Denis Leary, but I see this as a second-rate movie.
