One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Establishing Blue Sky Studios as the new player in the computer animation arena after both Pixar & DreamWorks Animation had made their mark, Ice Age is a sensibly crafted, delightfully humoured & wonderfully narrated adventure comedy that packs in an interesting set of pre-historic characters, manages to be surprisingly touching on few occasions & is thoroughly amusing from start to finish.The story of Ice Age takes place during the advent of the titular global phenomenon and follows a woolly mammoth named Manny, a ground sloth named Sid & a saber-toothed cat named Diego who, after coming across a human child & ultimately deciding to return him to his tribe, embark on an exciting adventure while braving the harsh conditions & unexpected challenges of the worsening weather.Directed by Chris Wedge & Carlos Saldanha, Ice Age sets its lighthearted tone right within the opening segment that follows a squirrel's obsession with acorn and this side story keeps recurring throughout the movie to provide the comic relief. The main plot itself is brilliantly narrated, the characters are introduced without swaying from the main premise, and it has plenty of laughs in store for everyone.The relationship between the characters develops naturally, the computer animation appears a bit dated today yet it's top-notch for its time, the pre-historic animals are nicely designed & rendered on the screen, the cold colour palette, smooth camera-work, fine editing & adventurous score also helps in uplifting the experience while Ray Romano, John Leguizamo & Denis Leary chip in with fitting voice work.On an overall scale, Ice Age marks a promising start for Blue Sky Studios and delivers the goods in sufficient doses to succeed as an enjoyable, entertaining & satisfying picture that will appease the appetite of both kids & adults. Wonderfully balancing its moments of comedy with sincere drama, further strengthened by terrific chemistry between its three characters, and exploring the theme of friendship with genuine warmth, Ice Age is definitely worth a shot.

I first saw this movie when I was five years old. I'm now sixteen and I still love it every bit as much! I love the comedy the best.This story is about animals who are migrating South for the winter in the prehistoric times. Two of the animals, Sid, who is a sloth and Diego, a saber-toothed tiger, befriend a woolly mammoth named Manny. Sid and Diego try to help Manny as he migrates north, while caring for a human baby. For years, Manny has kept his past a secret from everyone, but Diego and Sid help Manny work through his painful feelings along the way. They experience many other challenges on their journey to return the baby to his "herd".Ray Romano did an excellent job at playing Manny and I especially loved Sid, voiced by John Leguizamo. Diego was played by Denis Leary. You will love this heartwarming, comedic, family feature film, which carries a hidden message saying, "No one can make it through life on their own". I'm ready to see it again!
