The Squirrel ends up being more funny than the boring three but it is heartwarming just fantastically animated and sometimes charming. I give this movie 63%.

Ice age freezes its viewers.
A collection of likeable prehistoric characters captures charming moments but doesn't quite come alive, a good effort and a well made film overall.

Directed by Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha, has voice actors like Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary. It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Film.

This is not a film I consider remarkable, but it's funny enough to not consider for lost the time I spent watching it. Although not easy to understand for young children, the film is appealing enough. Playing with the animals existing at the time, the script creates a situation, implausible but funny, involving a human child and a group of animals, predators and preys, united in a joint effort.

The characters are not the most interesting but Diego, a tiger torn between loyalty to his brothers and friendship with fellow travelers, and Manfred, a mammoth mourning his dead family, deserve some positive highlight, giving the film a touch of maturity. The more negative note goes to Sid, an unpleasantly greenish sloth, which associates a grotesque aspect to an endless collection of stupid moments. Unfortunately, this creature is the largest attempt to make this movie something funny. The intelligent humor of other characters works better, making more digestible a film that, without it, it would be quite silly. The squirrel can also be very funny.

The work of animators is regular and fulfills its role. The voice actors did a good job, particularly Leguizamo, who gave voice to Sid. The soundtrack hardly exists or stands out in the film.… Expand

The film is nowhere near as well written as something from Pixar or Dreamworks but it is still entertaining. The film has some nice humor and heart. The characters have some charm to them.

The characters have some charm to them. The film also has some nice moments. Kids will love this movie immediately and I won’t deny that the film is definitely geared towards them. Everyone else will get through it ok as the humor is decent and the film does have some heart and quiet moments as opposed to bombarding you with obnoxiousness. That being said there are a lot better animated films out there so I’m not going to out of my to recommend it. Check it out if you are interested you will like it ok. I enjoy it although that might be due to having grown up on the film. Even so this is a first film for Blue Sky Studios and as a first film its not bad.… Expand

The animation could be somewhat better but the charming characters and kind storytelling are what makes it worthwhile. Its only a little bit funny though.

Really? This movie can't have humour at all. Basically what you are supposed to watch is 80 minutes of no entertainment and terrible jokes throughout. The only good things are the voicing which is only 4 points. It is for me about 53%

Characters are interesting, but not outstandingly executed, and some can give solid laughs to audiences. It treads similarity to "Shrek" and "Monsters Inc.", but doesn't exceed their qualities, yet is able to pull off an enjoyable film to kids, more than to adults.… Expand

Ice Age starts out a little dull and annoying to begin with, and doesn't' end any higher. The cast is talented, but their talents go to waste in this disappointing movie. And why can't that squirrel get that damn acorn?

As computer animation makes the move from novelty to norm, it's only natural that a few familiar elements should emerge.

To name a few: sentiment, pop-culture send-ups, characters who hide their affection for one another under layers of snark, and drawn-out setpieces virtually unimaginable in the field of conventional animation. Ice Age, a first stab at feature-length computer animation from Fox and director Chris Wedge, attempts to combine all of the above in a package not quite big enough for the cargo. Providing most of the sentiment, Ray Romano supplies the voice of a watery-eyed wooly mammoth named Manfred, a character largely inspired by John Wayne's lost-soul protagonist in The Searchers. Wandering disconsolately against the tide of migration, Romano picks up unwanted sidekicks in the form of an abandoned sloth (John Leguizamo) and, a bit later, a human toddler. After Leguizamo talks the reluctant Romano into returning the baby to its human tribe, they're joined by a sabertooth tiger (Denis Leary) with dubious motives and a soft spot the size of a glacier. The film looks great, but it only intermittently measures up to its Monsters, Inc.-with-metafauna potential. Better jokes might have redeemed its obvious plot, but instead of stuffing their film with clever moments, Wedge and his writers aimed the majority of the gags at the younger end of their potential audience. The result is a handful of poop jokes and lots of mugging from Leguizamo's sloth. Even the smarter gags, like the flock of survival-impaired dodos, depend on sight gags that are precision-timed but never particularly funny. Kids won't mind a bit, but adults accustomed to Shrek and Pixar will have no trouble spotting what's missing.… Expand

It’s a mediocre kids film. There is some enjoyment to be had. It’s alright.
