Hopefully the series gets better, as this first installment just doesn't hold up to animated standards that have been set by recent franchises like "Shrek" and "Madagascar." Still though, kids will love it(Grant dug it!), and with movies like this, that is all that really matters. Now I have yet to watch part 2, but I did see part 3 in the theater and thought it was an improvement. He is pretty darn funny, and in my opinion the sole reason to watch this cartoon. He just makes weird noises, and his only goal in life is to get an acorn. He's half rat, and half squirrel, and doesn't talk. The one saving grace for the franchise is Scrat. He is, as previously mentioned, a sloth, and therefore. The voices are "meh, just ok" as Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary lead the cast. Sid is also an animal, like many of the characters in Shrek and all of the characters in Ice Age. About some ice age misfits trying to save a human infant and all the mishaps that get in the way on their adventure. The characters are still borderline boring, the animation weak, and the story is pretty weak also. Rewatching it, I found not much has changed in my opinion. Everyone else seems to enjoy it, but I find it kind of boring and the animation just not that great compared to other movies. Yes, a throw-back to the old manually-animated cartoons, and a worthy tribute.I gotta say when this first came out, I didn't care for it at all. In the DVD extras the director mentions that those old cartoons of Chuck Jones were the insriration of many of the scenes. Watching "Ice Age", my wife and I noticed that much of the action and pratfalls reminded us of the old "Roadrunner" cartoons. The story revolves around sub-zero heroes: a. With Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Goran Visnjic.
SLOTH ICE AGE PLUS
Plus another "short" which shows the little squirrel, 20,000 years later, in an ice block drifting onto a deserted island, and his pounding of a coconut into the ground triggering the continental drift which resulted in the present day continents! Very inventive and funny. Ice Age: Directed by Chris Wedge, Carlos Saldanha. An elderly ground sloth, Granny was part of a small family of ground sloths that had grown tired of her and pushed her off on her shopson, Sid, which they also had left behind. Also a short animated film "Bunny" which won an oscar in 1998. 'I'll bury you all and dance on your graves' Granny angrily at her family.src Gladys, known more commonly as Granny, is a wizened old ground sloth who was left behind by her family.
The direct digital to DVD video transfer is as good, colorful, and sharp as the other recent ones like "Toy Story 2", "Shrek", and "Monsters Inc." There is a whole second disk of "extras" which take you through the whole animated film-making process. The Dolby surround sound is remarkably good, truly surrounding you with sound. But a series of events, and the tiger's being saved by the mammoth, causes all of them to "bond". A goofy sloth (Lugiezamo) and a kind wooly mammoth (Ray Romano) rescue the child and attempt to find his parents, joined by a sly tiger (Denis Leary) who at first is planning to lead all of them into a corner so his tiger friends can help get the child back and eat the mammoth. Highly intelligent sabre-tooth tigers want to get revenge for the killing of one of their pack, so plot to steal the baby son of the human tribe leader. In what amounts to a throw-back to the early, manually-animated cartoons, "Ice Age" chooses a very simple story around which is wrapped clever and exciting animation.
