Zen - glad to see someone else appreciated the first film :-D

Brett - fantastic observation on the name, that hadn't actually occurred to me! :-O

Peggy - yeah the Fire God scene was funny. So was Scratt but a bit too much of him and Sid I think.

Cheers all,

I think too much time was devoted to Scrat. I did rather enjoy the fire god scene with Sid and the "mini-sloths". As a sequel, pretty good.

My kids I think enjoyed the preview for the upcoming Garfield movie. :-)

kudos and one observation (Reply to this comment)

This was a remarkably restrained and concise review, BOTH of which I appreciated. Your teaser regarding Ellie--bravo! Although heh think about her name for just a sec... I also noted and appreciated the rich and unique interaction between the Queen Latifah and Ray Romano characters, which had a broader, subtler, and more universal message than simple humor or romance.

though not quite as good as the first Ice Age.... (Reply to this comment)

Seeing as how the first one felt fresh and seemed to just pop.. I can imagin how the second one would not be as good. But glad to see that it was not better.. but still worthy.

Great Review,
