i love cartoon . they can show thing that film with real actor and scenery can not though computer effect be change that more and more . they can push the boundary of satire ( the simpson ) and good taste ( south park ) and spectacle ( aladdin ) and or reality ( toy story ) . there be some good example of this in ice age and such a when we see a motley herd of now extinct mammal migrate across countryside and chat like old friend . such scene be a pleasure to watch and a we get the feeling of both the familiar and the strange at the same time and usually in a way that make u laugh . while ice age be not as good a the top animated movie of all time and it a really fun film . sit back and enjoy the deliberate anachronism and the lovely background and the belly laugh . the story follow manfred the grumpy mammoth and sid and an idiotic sloth and and diego and a sabretooth tiger and a they take a human baby back to his tribe for very different reason . on the way and naturally and they have a whole lot of problem . also pop up throughout the journey be scrat and history unluckiest rodent and who be desperately try to bury an acorn for the winter represent in glacier and on top of dead tree and in ice cave . his open scene be a classic . it a simple story with a very predictable end and a middle that be just a series of funny incident with some character build moment throw in and but some of the scene and such a the nappy changing or the dodo and be hilarious and the animal be likeable and it look good . there be one quite touching moment too and when cave painting of mammoth come to life in front of manfred eye . not a must see and but good for a fun hour or so . positive .
