Nice but never really shines...

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2006)

Much like the first Ice Age movie, IA2:M reuses the same jokes we've already seen and heard in different animated movies and TV shows. "Robots" was better in that area, in my opinion.
The plot, although very efficient and to the point, fell liked it lacked something, can't really point out what. Also, I think they needed to flesh-out some characters (Sid, especially) and sophisticate the script.
The animation is very good and has a unique style to it. The Scratt sequences made me enjoyed the most - has that old looney toons humor and feel. I think Scratt deserves a TV show of animation shorts.
All in all, a good rental for the whole family, but I wish Blue Sky would try to top themselves in the next one and not go on the safe side of toon town.
6/10
