Formulaic story, but great character design, and FUN

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2002)

Surprisingly, in the past year and a half, all of the major animated films have been at least better than average (Atlantis excepted). Ice Age joins films such as Chicken Run and Shrek as being highly entertaining. The voice acting of the major cast was outstanding, especially John Leguizamo, who voiced Sid the Sloth very uniquely, featuring a very interesting cadence and style of pronunciation. With great character design like the sabretoothed squirrel Scrat, a touching but not overdramatic story, and humorous sequences, Ice Age succeeds. 7.5/10
By the way, referring to the GENIUS who pointed out that Ice Age rips off Monsters Inc. and Jimmy Neutron, all three were in production at the same time.
