Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Jack Black

Twenty thousand years ago, the Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and creatures everywhere were fleeing the onslaught of the new Ice Age. In this time of peril, we meet the weirdest herd of any Age:...( read more  read more... ) a fast talking but dim sloth named Sid; a moody woolly mammoth named Manny; a devilish saber-toothed tiger named Diego; and an acorn-crazy saber-toothed squirrel known as Scrat. This quartet of misfits unexpectedly, and reluctantly, comes together in a quest to return a human infant to his father. Braving boiling lava pits, treacherous ice caves, freezing temperatures and a secret, evil plot, these "sub-zeros" become the world's first heroes!

    Hilarious first CG-animated feature from Fox & Blue Sky.

    Great idea and look, alittle originality for once, the Prehistoric angle really works here, its not outstanding but very good. Of course the little Scrat the sabre toothed squirrel sequences with the acorn really stand out and are very funny, the voice cast are very good too, Lea...( read more)ry being his dry cruel self and Leguizamo making the sloth a worthy character and probably the best. Very enjoyable.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

No evolutionary leap forward in the world of computer-generated animation, just another palatable, familiar children's diversion in shiny new form. full review
