I took my children to see ICE AGE during their Easter holidays to keep them amuse, and amused they were, so was I for that matter. This was a very funny and quite gripping tale. The characters are very lovable even the Tiger. Anyway the plot. SID the Sloth is deliberately left behind by his family when all the animals migrate South. He is a lisping magnet for trouble, but very funny with it. He manages to get himself into some trouble with two rhinos of all things, and as he is fleeing from them he bumps into a large Mammoth called MANFRED. Manfred really can`t be bothered with Sid, but he doesn`t like the fact that the rhinos just want to kill him for the sake of it. So he helps him and now he can`t get rid of him. When I`d seen up to this part of the film it reminded me of another film I had seen recently called SHREK. The circumstances were very similar. Anyway, some Tigers plot to steal a baby from a family of hunters, in revenge for the hunters killing most of their pride. But the mother escapes with her baby, only to be swept away in a river and killed herself, but not before leaving her baby with Manfred and Sid. They decide to take the baby back to it`s family ( but it`s not as easy as they think ). The family has moved on from their camp base and Manfred and Sid have to go and look for them.
On their way a Tiger called DIEGO tries to take the baby away from them, ( he has been sent by his leader to find the baby and bring it back to him alive ).Diego tries to be cunning but he ends up being friends with Manfred and Sid, after Manfred saves his life. They go through a lot of trouble to reunite the baby with it`s family, but I don`t want to spoil the film for you so if you want to know how it all ends, whether happily ever after or not, you`ll just have to see the film for yourself. But I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.
The main characters in the film are MANFRED ( voice done by Ray Romano ). SID ( Voice done by John Leguizamo ).And DIEGO ( voice done by Denis Leary ).Other voices were done by Goran Visnjic -SOTO ( Tiger )
Jack Black -Zete ( Tiger )
Diedrich Bader - ( Tiger )
Jane Krakowski - JENNIFER ( Lady Sloth )
I found this film also showed children the meaning of moral. With all the badness in the world at the moment it`s good to know that even through the power of animation our children can learn to grow up and be better people.
