This movie is an adventure and comedy animation. Ice Age 4 picks up where Scrat still did not catch that acorn and the results of his chasing after the acorn that made the continent drift apart. The story is about Manny (Ray Romano), an over protective father who tries to keep his teenage daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer) from hanging out with the bad group of mammoths. Peaches is desperate to prove that she is cool so she can hang out with the cool kids. Manny and his daughter have a fight in front of her friends and the last thing Peaches says to her father is "I wish you were not my father". This is when the earth shakes; Manny, Diego and Sid are separated from the rest of the pack. They encounter ice pirates and many different sea creatures. They all are home sick and want to find a way home. However, the ice pirate wanted to capture them as prisoners. Manny and his gang have to come up with a plan to escape from the pirates and use his ice ship to go home. This movie has a lot of jokes that made me laugh throughout the movie. The love story between Diego and the white tiger Shira (voice by Jennifer Lopez) is so cute. The 3D is totally awesome. The message of this movie is about the importance of family and how we do not have a choice picking who is in our family. My favorite character in this movie is Granny. Everything about her is funny and unpredictable. One thing that I did not like is that there are too many new characters. Also, I would like to see more of Granny. I rank this movie 5 out of 5 stars because it's exciting, funny and all the characters are so strong and different. I recommend this movie for ages 3 to 18
