Profile of Ice Age

The mood of Ice Age is humorous, feel good, and exciting. The plot centers around a missing child, unlikely partners, and animal life. It features verbal byplay. Ice Age is a comedy, adventure, and family movie. Stylistically, it has a Hollywood tone, features an all-star cast, and has a road movie structure. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. Ice Age takes place, at least partly, in the wilderness. It happens in prehistorical times. Visually, it is computer animated. Ice Age is known for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for kids, a family outing, and a date night.

Summary of Ice Age

A star-studded cast provides the voices for the prehistoric creatures in this computer-animated feature set 20,000 years ago as the Ice Age approaches. Seemingly anti-social Manny, a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), acts as if he just wants to be left alone. When he meets Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), a sloth, the two become unlikely traveling companions. The plot thickens when the duo finds a human infant and decides to try to return the child to its "herd." Manny slowly but surely reveals his heart of gold, while Sid continues to provide comic relief. Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), a saber-tooth tiger with ulterior motives, soon joins them in their search for the humans. Ultimately, this group of misfits becomes its own herd, learning about friendship and loyalty as they brave snow, ice, freezing temperatures, predators, hail, and even boiling lava pits. All the while, a saber-tooth squirrel, Scat, provides comic relief as he valiantly struggles with an acorn. A well-written, humorous script and endearing characters mesh well with the state-of-the-art technology and effects. Other stars lending their voices to the feature include Goran Visnjic, Jack Black, and Jane Krakowski.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
Comes closer than any other recent animated film to the Looney Tunes ideal. Just as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny entertained without either condescending to kids or lobbing adult jokes over their heads.
USA Today
A minor delight but a delight just the same.

Users Reviews

brilliant comedy
A comic film about the time just before the ice-age. Sid is one of the main characters and he is goofy and talkative and makes you laugh all the time. a movie you can watch several times. good for all the family, not just kids.
a movie to treasure
this is one of those movies you can see again and again. ice age is a hilarious escapade about friendship, families, and unexpected heroes. as the ice age begins, all the animals are leaving their homes except our 4 heroes...
