Great Film: Ice Age
Wish All Animated Films Were This Good!
I'd have to say this is one of the best animated films I've ever seen.
I liked it the first time but really appreciated it on the second
viewing, just a few weeks ago. I can see why sequel is doing such great
business at the box office. Apparently, a lot of people liked this
movie.
A gorgeous color palette (man, this looks good) and a lot of good adult
(but clean) humor make this a big winner. The opening 3-4-minute scene
with "Scat," is excellent as are subsequent interludes with him. "Sid"
the sloth (voiced by John Leguizano), however, provides the main humor
in the movie. He usually has something funny to say throughout the
movie.
Ray Romano is the voice of the mammoth, the big character of the film,
literally, while Denis Leary is the ferocious bad-guy-turned-good
sabertooth tiger
This isn't just humor and pretty colors but a nice, sentimental story
of how a little baby softens up a couple of tough characters. This
isn't interrupted with a lot of songs, either: one only brief one and
there is nothing offensive, language-wise.
If more animated movies were this good, I'd own more.
