if you liked the old movie a lot...do not watch this

Rating: 4/10 (12 April 2006)

making a sequel to an animated film? bad idea. this movie proves it. why couldn't 20th century fox just leave it alone? but of course the success of the first film must have a sequel. but like many animated movies that have sequel it became victim to the children. this movie became way to kid friendly and lacked the witty dialog i found enjoyable in the first movie. this one was just like watching five year olds run around. the cinematography was alright. plot was good except it ruined by executives forcing it into a G rated kid friendly boogaloo.
i do give credit to the nut searching squirrel type thing. it made me chuckle a few times. but i found myself leaving the theater after Manny threw one of the little rodents across the lake. this movie was just no were near what i thought it would be from a critics stand point. they could have gone deeper with the mammoth extinction idea but they didn't.
from a kids stand point i would love this movie. but as we all know kids at the age of 7 generally don't know what a good movie is. thats my take on the movie anyways
