·The original Ice Age, released in 2002, was an undemanding kid's film: fast, fun and imaginative, it combined old-fashioned cartoon slapstick with a gently bantering script strong on family values. The sequel plays in similar fashion, warm-hearted and creative in an erratic Looney-Tunes style.
This time around, Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano) and his pals Sid and Diego must journey to escape the imminent flooding of their valley by a cracking glacier. They're joined in their travels by a family of possums, one of whom is in fact a confused she-Mammoth (charmingly voiced by Queen Latifah). Convinced they are the last two of the species remaining, Manny finds his heart begin to melt - but not as fast as the ice underfoot...
Without a driving plot the film is a series of episodes that become increasingly disjointed and bizarre, often reminiscent of the shorts shown before Pixar movies. One minute the herd is teetering on precarious rock-formations, the next a wake of vultures are doing a dance routine. The most fun comes courtesy of the Wile E. Coyote-esque squirrel, who returns still no closer to catching his beloved acorn. There is a lot of the kind of fast-paced action that computer animation, with its infinite capacity for fine-tuning, lends itself very well to.
The dialogue is spirited if rarely laugh-out-loud funny. With the focus on Manny's attempts to ensure the survival of his species there is less for the other two leads to do and Denis Leary, wonderfully droll as Diego the sabre-toothed tiger, is particularly underused. A strong theme of friendship and loyalty runs throughout but thanks to Romano's curmudgeonly Manny it remains refreshingly unsentimental.
References are made to evolution and the food chain, but this is not as intelligent a script as Toy Story 2 or The Incredibles, and few jokes will pass kids by. Surprisingly, for a film about extinction and flooding caused by global warming, there's no ecological message standing out.
In short, it's less a sequel and more a remake of the first Ice Age, with less plot and more clowning around. The only change is the quality of visuals: the animals now have thick, deep fur that even becomes glossy when wet, and the final flood of photorealistic water boasts glorious refraction effects. Director Carlos Saldanha takes full advantage of current technology to render this lush, wintery world as busily as possible, full of plants and strange creatures.
At a time with little in the cinema for kids, especially for those tired of superhero violence, Ice Age 2 will come as a welcome relief. Children will enjoy the pace and lively characters, and parents can rest assured that the film's heart is in the right place, despite Diego's frequent threats to eat his friend Sid. Lightweight fun.

·Rewind time to 20,000 years ago and the earth would look like a very different place…it’s a time when it would almost look like present day earth, but there would be several creatures running around that are now either extinct or evolved into an animal we are familiar with present-day. This film Ice Age is set in at the beginning of our last ice age; at the moment of when the glaciers were beginning to crawl south into North America, when the ice bridge was formed between Siberia and Alaska allowing many different species of mammals to migrate on this side of the world. It was also during the time when Neanderthal (pronounced Nee-ander-taal) and man coexisted before the Neanderthals became extinct.
In this story, a bitter woolly mammoth named Manfred has the unfortunate run-in with a clumsy and defenceless Sloth named Sid. Sid needs a friend and Manfred wants him to get lost. All of the animals are migrating south, but Manfred is taking the lone trip north to the glaciers for some reasons unknown to us at this time.
Bad-luck has it that the two of them are given a baby Neanderthal from a wounded mother and she hopes they will protect it from the sabre-toothed tiger named Diego. Diego wanted the baby for his “boss” as revenge because these Neanderthals killed half of his pack for clothes. Diego, frustrated that Manfred and Sid have this baby agrees to help the two of them find the father of the baby, but of course, Diego has his own agenda too.
Sarcasm is what makes this movie funny, especially because of Ray Romano as the voice behind Manfred. I can’t say his voice is warm and fuzzy like the creature but that’s why John Leguizamo is there for the voice (and comic relief ) of Sid. The movie has its slow and exciting moments, but one thing I am thankful for is that it’s not very “busy” for an animation. The backdrops are very simple and there isn’t a lot going on in each scene unlike what we see in Robots or The Incredibles. Simple movies like Ice Age are relieving sometimes. They cause fewer headaches.
·Ice Age: The Meltdown showed plenty of promise based on the previews: More of what we got last time, with new characters for us to laugh at. It certainly delivers that in spades, although not a whole lot more. All of our favorite characters return, including Sid the sloth (voiced by John Leguizamo), Manny the mammoth (Ray Romano), Diego the tiger (Denis Leary), and of course dear little Scrat the… something (Chris Wedge), who never quite manages to keep his acorn.
Once again the plot revolves around a journey, this one to safety from a massive flood that is soon going to wipe out anyone who stays in the area. Sid, Manny, and Diego set off with many other animals, but always seem to be separate from the rest, the pack usually is a minor part of the action. And the adventures begin, all with danger, funny situations, and humor that could have been a lot cleaner. The largest of these is meeting up with two possums and another mammoth (Queen Latifah) who believes that she is also a possum. These identity issues make for quite the situation as Manny believes that they may be the last two mammoths left alive. And it turns out that Diego is afraid of water, not a good thing when a flood is headed your way. So they all travel together and try to keep from getting killed; you have to wonder how a few animals can get into so much trouble.
The physical comedy is the strongest point, of course. You can’t help but laugh at the scrapes they get in and out of, and it almost makes you forget the dialogue which borders on pathetic. sadly, much of the humor in the dialogue is insults and word plays (a beaver says “Dam!” and the theater erupts in laughter). There is a bit of shaky ground as the mammoths discuss their relationship, but they kept it to a decent level. And like the original, Scrat overshadows everything in his quest to get the acorn. It’s safe to say that he’s the favorite; the kids always made happy noises as soon as he appeared.
So the worst part is the dialogue, of course; I think the scary situations are comic enough to not cause too much trouble for the younger audience. Hungry sea animals may be a little tougher, but the rest will simply evoke laughter. Evolution is, of course, assumed to be true, although it takes a back burner in light of all the adventures. Included is a spoof of Noah’s Ark; the destination of safety is a large boat, so it can at least open a discussion about what really happened. Since the target audience is the children who will absorb all of this stuff, I suggest you give them the parental guidance that the rating advises.
I do feel positive overall about the movie, despite its shortcomings. I certainly did laugh, and while the plot isn’t wonderful, following it made me feel like I had the adventure right along with them. It is what it is; the kids will love it, and parents probably won’t feel like they’ve wasted their money to see it.

Ice Age 2 Film Review
There are several aspects of this film that I found to be very enjoyable: Its terrific animation, the delightful vocal performances of all the actors involved, and its irresistible imaginative charm. John Leguizamo shines as the heart of the movie, the sloth that inspires all of us to have a good time and gives us hope that there is still some imagination left in Hollywood. His creation and very talented vocal turn perfectly interacts with the other actors' styles. Romano's deadpan delivery this time has found the heart that it sorely missed last time, when it was a just boring attempt to leave his character with no personality. Romano has now found the essence of Manny and has some fun with it. He compliments Queen Latifah's lovely and goofy Ellie. Leary's Diego is not the showiest turn, but he also has some great moments.
In addition to the principals, the possums and the mini sloths are welcome arrivals, and there are some wonderful moments of nutty entertainment, as now computers can portray some truly wacky moments, such as the Berkeley-inspired moment in the sacrificial fire pit and the vulture "food" numbers.
This film is a throwback to what made classics such as "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and The Beast" work: solid acting and a good writing base. It's a commendable and admirable effort.

Last night, I went with the kids to watch “Ice Age 2: The Meltdown“. Great movie.
It was quite entertaining, and while the film focused on the impending ice meltdown which is probably the best information drive anybody could do on educating people the issues on global warming, but the characters were really well developed.
Each had his own story line. The mammoth is faced with his responsibility as being the last of his species, and his discovery of his affection for another mammoth who thinks she is an opposum ( which effectively portrayed people who don’t understand themselves). The Sabre tooth tiger faces his fear of water, while the sloth (Sid) explores his own self as a role model, and what is really important to him in life, while the 2 opposums and 1 squirrel ( in search of his fabled acorn) provided comic relief and an interesting sideshow.
