When I saw the trailers for Ice Age, I was excited--prehistoric mammals are a favourite subject of mine, and here I saw them being showcased for once instead of dinosaurs. Instead (despite Roger Eberts's claim) this film is full of inaccuracies (sloths and Neandertal "cavemen" never met, for example; and don't get me started on the Dodos).To make matters worse, I was expecting humour in a similar vein to Shrek, as well as an equally entertaining soundtrack. Instead, it was insipid and dull, and the kids were barely even amused (except Scrat--he needed WAY more screen time). For paleo mammals, get the BBC's "Walking with Prehistoric Beasts". For entertaining animation for kids and adults, get "Bug's Life" or "Shrek".
