Review of Ice Age (2002) by Russell G — 07 May 2014
Do not go into this looking for a fantastic touching story or colorful music. Even without a strong story, it is fun because of the animation and the affable characters. Three mismatch animal friends, including a Sloth, a Mammoth, and a Saber Tooth Tiger discover a human baby and decide to return him to its tribe.
The tiger, however, plans to deceive the others. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Leary offer excellent voice-overs for the three main characters. I cannot think of a better voice for playing a Wooly Mammoth than Ray Romano.
However, it is Leguizamo, as Sid the Sloth, who steals the show and is easily the best part. The transition scenes involving a squirrel trying to secure and enjoy an acorn are also a nice and amusing touch.
It gets no points for the story, but the lovable characters pull it through.
