Bret M. @BretM-3 Mar 8 Ice Age is a good movie. The story being told is fun and can be a real tearjerker at times. The animation, though, is a mixed bag for sure. For a movie that's over 20 years old, the animation holds up pretty well. I mean, let's be honest, it certainly looks better than Toy Story! The peculiar thing about the animation is that I think the environments and nature all look better and hold up better than any of the animals and/or humans in the film. The cast of characters are very fun and have great chemistry. Sid the Sloth is maybe the breakout character of the movie and, while I found him enjoyable and funny, he could also get annoying after a while. For me, the standout character of the movie is Manny. He has such a beautiful and sad backstory and arc that he goes through. The sadness he feels over losing his own son, motivating him to help the human boy get back to his own parents is just a great story. And Ray Romano gives a stunning and utterly hilarious performance as Manny. Overall, Ice Age is worth watching. Really funny, has held up relatively well over time, and still carries an emotional story under all the fun.

See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector Feb 7 Rating: 7.9/10 ⭐️ I expected this to feel dated, but was surprised by the heart. It's a breath of fresh air—a simple story about protecting a child and finding redemption, with zero hidden agendas. The Director’s Eye: The CGI is 2002-era, but Blue Sky nailed the lighting contrast between the cold ice and warm characters. Manny feels heavy and grounded in the frame. At its core, it’s a pro-family story about misfits saving a baby. Diego’s redemption arc—struggling between predatory nature and conscience—is moving. Manny’s selfless duty is a great lesson. I loved the use of "Send Me on My Way." The Cuts: Let's be real, the animation has aged—humans look stiff and backgrounds are empty. Sid the Sloth walks the line between funny and annoying, and the dodo sequence felt like a weird fever dream. Verdict: A solid, wholesome classic. It champions the idea that family is who you choose to protect. Clean, funny, and morally sound. Favorite Line: "That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other."

Good fun for the whole family, funny jokes for the parents, and great voice acting. 10/10 See more Noah H @Noah85 Jan 8 A childhood favorite. Grew up watching it with my brother. Yeah, it may have some really immature poop jokes but don't forget: It's a kids movie. Stuff like that is expected. I would say that Ray Romano's voice suits Manny the mammoth really well and John Leguizamo KILLS it as Sid the sloth. Diego was a fan favorite of my brother. We both thought he was REALLY COOL. The scene where he has his eyes glowing used to creep the HELL out of me as a kid, though. The ice slide scene is SUPER fun and so is the running from the lava scene and the fight between Manny and the Rhinos. In fact, that's something Blue Sky does not get NEARLY enough credit for: They can make THRILLING action sequences. The score by David Newman (The brother of Thomas Newman and Randy Newman) is EMOTIONALLY MOVING as well. The story, as simple as it is, is pretty heartwarming in my opinion. You really want to see Manny, Sid, and Diego bring the human baby back to its people. So, yeah. I would say give it a watch.
