Summary: Review of Disc One of the 2-Disc Set and review of the film!
Review: Review of Disc One:

Disc 1 contains the movie in crummy pan and scan (this version totally sucks, do not watch it!) and the awesome widescreen (this version looks best) and an audio commentary which I haven't listened to as of this time. The quality of the DVD is awesome! The sound is very very wide and loud and the picture quality, while its not as good as Monsters, Inc., it still looks very nice, the colors are bright and the darks are dark! The first disc is nice, lets just hope disc 2 satisfies! I will be watching disc 2 when I get the set for Christmas!

The movie is all about a stranger herd of animals: Manny the Mammoth, Diego the Saber Tooth and Sid the Sloth. These three have to take a little baby who was saved by its own mother after Diego's friends try to kill it. The movie is very very funny, so I really recommend it to all audiences, while some parts are kind of scary to kids, its very nice!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cruel and stupid
Review: Why do people beleive they have to use violence against animals to entertain little kids? Think about it, it's a little kid movie. It doesn't need to have animals dying in it...This movie has a serious plot that's to much for kids and to stupid for older kids and up. This movie is strictly for profit. They know that animated movies like monsters inc, toy story and Shrek, did good. So they slap this junk together with OVER USED PLOTS and call it a movie. Shrek + Monsters Inc + ice = Ice Age. The tigers are getting hunted 4 their fur, wouldn't that make you mad??? They have a right to want to kill those humans! I wanted to see this. I went to see this. I fell 4 their stupid trap. This wasn't even funny! This movie was made where I live, White Plains. I wished i could have destroyed it.

Summary: 5 Stars for the German Version - 2 Stars for the English
Review: We own this one in both English and German (our family is bilingual). We watched the German version first and everyone loved it! From the 3 year old to the 42 year old grumpy, old german man! We find ourselves quoting this one constantly. The voices were classic! We really felt for Sid (the faultier - sloth), even though he is so annoying - in an hilarious way. Manny (the mammoth) is the large, in-charge loner, who finds himself "picking-up" helpless creatures and playing the "father" role to the sloth and ... a human baby? You find yourself really feeling for Manny too. He's all alone in the world, but not by his own design ... at least originally. He finds himself helping Sid to return this baby to its "herd." Diego is the Saber-tooth, who is charged by his "herd" with the task of bringing the baby back to his leader, so that his leader can avenge an attack on his "herd" by the humans. Diego leads the unlikely trio (sloth, mammoth, and himself - with the human baby) along a round about path toward the human encampment, into an ambush of tigers. Along the way, they learn to trust and depend on each other. This human baby becomes the adhesive that bonds them together. You even feel for Diego, because he isn't valued by the other tigers, but finds his place within this odd-trio.

The English version? We watched the English version and I would have sworn (I'm an American mind you, born and raised in the US) that these people were pulled off of the street and asked to read a script on the spot. Some of the jokes were funnier in German too. "Ich esse kein Fastfood." Can be translated as either "I don't eat fastfood" or "I don't eat junkfood" but given that Sid is a sloth, fastfood is a riot!! Junkfood is ... okay. The voices though, lacked any real emotion and so you walk away from the film devoid of the identification with the characters, which as we all know, is what really makes a movie great!

"Arme Tiger Katzi-Tatzi" (said "arme Teeger Katzee-Tatzee") "Sid, Tiger Katzi-Tatzi wird uns führen." (wird uns führen = is going to lead us)

Yet another piece of proof that it is better to understand 2 languages than 1? Perhaps. Or perhaps it is a message that a clever movie can be made tremendously better by excellent casting, even when you can't see their faces.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good entertainment for young and old
Review: A very fun and funny movie, the kind an adult can watch along with the kids and not feel bored. Bits of hidden humor and lots of action make this movie a good one to own. I enjoyed the little interactions between the characters as they made there trek and thought that the voice overs were very well done.
I hesitate to rate this as high as Shrek, but I think it was comparable to Monsters Inc., either way, if you enjoyed either of these other two, you'll enjoy this one. A strong recommendation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest movie ever!
Review: This is such a hilarious movie. I saw it and the preistoric squirll was so funny.It also has some exciting parts but it definently was made for laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful Ice Age
Review: Excellent movie that keeps the attention of even the youngest of viewers!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A satisfying romp through the snow
Review: Ice Age doesn't try to be an epic picture; it takes a basic story and retells it well. The voice acting is great on the part of all three primary characters, and the frenetic nut-collecting squirrel (seen on most of the posters) is worth watching all by himself. There's a lot of rollicking actions sequences and a few great sight gags like the under-ice museum near the movie's middle. This movie is enjoyable for all age ranges, although the very young might find the animal fighting a bit intense.

While it's not quite a five-star movie, it's a totally enjoyable ride from first-time feature director Chris Wedge and Blue Sky Productions!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ice Age Won't Age
Review: The first time I saw this film I thought the graphics were stunning, with new animation and great ideas! It performed well at the box office....
A week later I decided to watch it again! The graphics are eye-candy and the movie is filled with comedy.
Unlike Monsters.Inc, Ice Age delivers. I seems to have a better feel to it. I recommend anyone to watch and buy this film.

Summary: Anothere movie to buy when it comes out!
Review: Like Monsters Inc, Ice Age is also about something that is backwards. In Ice Age the animals talk and the humans don't. Ray Romano joins actors like Billy Crystal, Mike Myers, Robin Williams, Mel Gibson, John Goodman, and David Spade, who has all voiced animated characters. Plus if you buy this on dvd, you will be able to see 6 secens that never made it into the movies, and is also a must have if you like to buy movies on dvd, with deleted scenes. As the movie opens, a rino named Manfred (Ray Romano) finds a baby, and along with a talking muskrat named Sid (John Leguizamo) decide to find the baby's parents. And along the way, a talking tiger named Diego (Denis Lary) joins the quest to find the parents of the baby. Now remember in Monsters Inc, instead of children being scared of monsters, the monsters are scared of children. This is also a movie to add to your collection of animated movies, and along with Shrek, Monsters Inc and Lilo & Stitch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ICE, ICE, BABY!
Review: The Ice Age movie is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. John Leugizamo is hillarious, but I'd give this movie a four out of five. My brother's character is Denis Leary, he "TIGHT."
