Critic Reviews

Desson Thomson

This digitally animated movie, filled with a cast of charming, funny critters from long ago, is family entertainment at its most bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Read full review

Frank Lovece

No matter your age, this is one great AGE to be at. Read full review

Jay Carr

The coolest animation in town. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Cute and often clever, there's nothing particularly memorable in this computer enhanced rerun, but this harmless little comedy has an unexpected warmth that melts the frozen plot. Read full review

Liam Lacey

There are too many moments in Ice Age when you find yourself thinking: less bonding and fewer anti-Darwinian life-lessons please; more of that anarchist Scrat. Read full review

Hank Sartin

The animation is remarkable, except for the stiff, marionettelike humans. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

Renders it a cross between "Three Men and a Baby" and "Monsters, Inc." But it's bereft of the charisma of the former and the energy of the latter; stuck in a frozen wasteland, it possesses all the vigor of a Popsicle.

One of the better of recent non-Pixar animated films. I admire its motifs of respecting peoples' differences, working together for a common goal, and environmentalism. No surprise it spawned several sequels. I have no problem watching these with my son.

Ice Age is a great animated movie that will appeal to kids but isn't a non-territory for adult guardians as well. The previews for Ice Age only give glimpses of the pedestrian main plot.

The previews for Ice Age only give glimpses of the pedestrian main plot. Instead, they center on the devilishly clever, exceedingly enjoyable interludes featuring a rodent in situations and circumstances that recall the great animated work of the recently departed Chuck Jones. In fact, it got to the point where I was becoming irritated by the movie's main plot - I wanted to see the squirrel again. All told, he makes about five appearances (totaling maybe 10 minutes of screen time). The rest of the movie is concerned with the escapades of a woolly mammoth, a sloth, a sabertooth tiger, and a human baby who tries unsuccessfully to be as cute as Monsters Inc.'s Boo. The journey, as is the case with many films, is more interesting than the end result and the film never gets boring. Ice Age is a welcome diversion for anyone seeking to watch old animated films.(Interesting animation film from 2002).… Expand

Very uninteresting story line. Isn't the goal of a children's move to make a child laugh instead of put them to sleep? Clearly, the screenwriter missed the memo.
