The End of the Ice Age?

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2018)

Well, for starters, the title of the sequels at this point is pretty deceiving! But really, Ice Age 2 is a pretty decent follow up to the first film. Blue Sky studios definitely used the four year gap in between the two films to great achievement. And the same cast from the first film returns, unlike Disney sequels! The side story of Scrat is entertaining as well.
So, in this installment, the ice age is apparently ending. That brings a new problem to the warming panet, water and floods. The animals must migrate. It's a twist on the story of Noah's ark, a boat that the animals have only a few days to locate.
The cast seemed more comfortable in their roles, especially Ray Romano. Some of the jokes within the film are on the verge of adult though, such as when Manny tells the story of the little burrow. They use the term "little ass" in a sort of suggestive way. Just in case you have to explain that to your toddler!
