Computer Graphics Are Very Good

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2006)

I liked the background scenery best in this movie than any other I've seen, including Polar Express. Very bright and positive feel to it for viewers. Personally, I enjoyed the first Ice Age movie. But I realize that I am not the intended audience for this movie. Note the previews are all for kids. Which was nice to see in a way, that they have some G-rated choices coming up.
This is a great movie for it's intended audience of grade 7 or less. Yet it's not intolerable to sit through it as an adult. Some bozo behind me commented after every children's movie preview. Negatively. Loudly. "Lame. Stupid. Idiotic." I turned around. Everyone turned to stare at him. It was a miserable man of about 60, sitting with people approx ages: 40, 30, 10, 12 and 8. His companions all told him to: SHHHH! He slunk down in his chair and began enjoying Ice Age. Some people need to be reminded. Some movies aren't made for them, but that doesn't mean you have to ruin it for kids. This is a great movie choice for caregivers to let children see. It is definitely a true G-rated movie. They really enjoyed it in the theatre, lots of giggles.
Characters: Manny, Sid and Diego are back. "Ellie," is introduced and provides some amusing ... stuff. I'd love to quote her about the species of mammoths, but I won't spoil anything. Scrat is an even funnier 'distraction' than the first Ice Age movie. Scrat reminds me of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.
SPOILER: This movie leaves the door open for another sequel.
