I laughed more at "Ice Age" than at "Shrek" and "Monsters Inc." combined.

A star-studded cast provides the voices for the prehistoric creatures in this computer-animated feature set 20,000 years ago as the Ice Age approaches. Seemingly anti-social Manny, a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), acts as if he just wants to be left alone. When he meets Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), a sloth, the two become unlikely traveling companions. The plot thickens when the duo finds a human infant and decides to try to return the child to its "herd." Manny slowly but surely reveals his heart of gold, while Sid continues to provide comic relief. Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), a saber-tooth tiger with ulterior motives, soon joins them in their search for the humans. Ultimately, this group of misfits becomes its own herd, learning about friendship and loyalty as they brave snow, ice, freezing temperatures, predators, hail, and even boiling lava pits. All the while, a saber-tooth squirrel, Scat, provides comic relief as he valiantly struggles with an acorn. A well-written, humorous script and endearing characters mesh well with the state-of-the-art technology and effects. Other stars lending their voices to the feature include Goran Visnjic, Jack Black, and Jane Krakowski. [More]

Reviews for Ice Age
... nicely entertains and gives all audiences something to enjoy, which is always the goal for any would-be blockbuster...
To complain about the lack of originality is to ignore the real wit and joy behind this very fun film.
Un triunfo de la animación y una muestra de lo que se puede lograr dejando volar libremente la imaginación de chicos y grandes.
I think it's a safe bet that Ice Age will be a front-runner for next year's Best Animated Film Oscar.
While it doesn’t stumble over itself, it doesn’t exactly swing for the fences either.
funny and sweet and often clever, but it sometimes feels a little too formulaic
The dynamic personalities of the characters more than compensate for any slight deficits in the laugh department.
Una cinta digna de pelear con los estudios y empresas fuertes en el área y una historia entretenida y divertida que incluye los elementos claves del éxito comercial
Ice Age won't drop your jaw, but it will warm your heart, and I'm giving it a strong thumbs up.
As a pre-historical/hysterical document Ice Age is more than a little suspect but its signature squirrel more than makes up for it.
A clever and beautifully designed computer-animated feature that often measures up to the standards set by last year's two CGI blockbusters, Shrek and Monsters, Inc.
