| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Ice Age |
|---|
The ice age is coming, and all the animals are moving down to hotter territory. Manny the mammoth likes to do things differently, and instead goes his own way. Along the way he meets Sid, an annoying sloth who was abandoned by his pack. Meanwhile, a group of saber-toothed tigers plan to feast on a human baby. When, Manny and Sid get hold him, Diego decides to bring them to his pride for a dinner. Throughout, Diego then starts becoming fond of them, and decide to let them go. Along the way, they also encounter Scrat, a saber-toothed squirrel with a mission of his own. To dig a place for his prized nut. Ice Age is funny, and charming and definately something to watch. John Leguizamo supplies the laughs as Sid, with Scrat also being on the side plate. Let me tell you, you'll laugh, you will cry, and you will love this animated comedy.
