Ice Age: The Meltdown

Ice Age: The Meltdown (also called Ice Age 2: The Meltdown or simply known as Ice Age 2) is an American 2006 animated adventure comedy film and is the second film in the Ice Age series. It was produced by Lori Forte and Chris Wedge. It was directed by Carlos Saldanha.

The film was released on March 31, 2006. Despite receiving mixed reviews from film critics, the film was positively welcomed from audience who praised its animation, humor, characters, emotional weight, soundtrack, action scenes, character development and the visuals.

This movie is the first sequel to the 2002 film, Ice Age. The other four sequels to the film are Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012), Ice Age: Collision Course (2016), The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022) and Ice Age: Boiling Point (2027). The first sequel to this film was even more positively welcomed from audience who often calls it the best Ice Age movie, the second one is called good, but not like the previous films while the fifth is hated by both film critics and audience. Ice Age: The Meltdown was Blue Sky Studios's first sequel overall.
