“Though the narrative style of "Ice Age" has been around for almost as long, superb animation, a droll script, and excellent vocal talents make this a compelling and surprisingly moving addition to the computer-generated canon (where it sits alongside the likes of "Monsters, Inc." and "Shrek"). As glaciers slowly cover the earth, a mis-matched group of prehistoric animals reluctantly club together to return a lost human baby to his tribe. Sid, a lackadaisical sloth (Leguizamo), falls over a lot and annoys a serious but kind mammoth, Manny (Romano), and a duplicitous sabre-toothed tiger, Diego (Leary). As the trio make their perilous way towards the humans' winter camp, Soto (Visnjic), the evil leader of a pack of tigers, plans to cut the group off, kill the child, and have the mammoth for breakfast. Meanwhile, a frustrated squirrel tries to bury his one, precious acorn – with disastrous results.” (Jane Crowther, BBC Online).
This film will be shown on DVD.
