Reviews for Ice Age
Top CriticIn all, we get a visually crisp, though generally tame, offering.

Top CriticReal Ice Ages were no jokes. They lasted about 100,000 years and froze most life on the planet. But as long as Leguizamo's Sid and Wedge's Scrat are on screen, this one warms you with laughter.
07/20/02
Top CriticIt's simply a fun, silly comedy, but then what's wrong with that?
05/01/02
Top CriticYet another marvelously funny digital-animation feature.
03/24/02
Top CriticIce Age won't drop your jaw, but it will warm your heart, and I'm giving it a strong thumbs up.
03/19/02
Top CriticIt's clever enough to amuse adults, yet sufficiently kid-friendly to delight tykes with diminutive attention spans.
03/18/02
Top CriticNo evolutionary leap forward in the world of computer-generated animation, just another palatable, familiar children's diversion in shiny new form.

Top CriticFamily entertainment at its most bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
03/15/02
Top CriticFull of visual dazzle, engaging characters and a reasonably sprightly narrative.

Top CriticA minor delight but a delight just the same ...

Top Critic... ranks up there in the highest class of animated features.

Top Critic... a lesson in prehistoric hilarity.
03/15/02
Top CriticIce Age comes closer than any other recent animated film to the Looney Tunes ideal.
03/15/02
Top CriticVivid conception with amusing, witty stretches that offset the intervals of goo.
03/15/02
Top CriticThe movie suffers every time the creatures have to say the words the screenwriters have foisted on them.
03/15/02
Top Critic... a visually pleasing, imaginative entertainment for the family audience.
03/15/02
Top CriticAlthough we eventually warm up to the amiable Ice Age, we still feel as if we're watching Shrek on Ice, or Mastodons, Inc., so formulaic is the storytelling.
03/15/02
Top Critic[D]espite its familiar subject matter, Ice Age is consistently amusing and engrossing ...
03/15/02
Top CriticProduced by 20th Century Fox, Ice Age falls short of classic status. But it's one of the best such features not to wear the Disney or DreamWorks banner.
