Review of Ice Age (2002) by M.kalley — 27 Nov 2002
[**Includes Potential Spoilers**] This movie was pathetically TRYING to do show you some of their so-called "excellent" efforts. First, the characters. They were TRYING to make the sloth, Sid, a wise-cracking, chatter-box, but didn't wasn't that the Donkey from "Shrek" who offered us that character who we'll probably remember for the rest of our life as he was one of the best characters in an animated film ever? Or how about the wolly mamoth, Manner (or Manny, or Manfred, or whatever your supposed to call him)? Didn't his personality and attitude remind you of Shrek of "Shrek"? And to top it all off, the "tear-jerker" of the movie.
The movie was TRYING to be as heartwarming, and tear-jerking as "Monsters, Inc." but you just couldn't get that feeling when M (I wasn't sure what to call the mamoth so I settled for "M") remembers how his parents died, or when it looks as though Diego has died, or when M and co.
bring the baby back to his dad. Please God, don't let 20th Century Fox ever make a computer-animated move again.
