Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2 DVDs)

Not only is this fun for the younger generation to watch and laugh but even the older audience raise a smile. I would happily watch this more then once and recommend it to all children and even some adults. Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat they are all back for their second adventure. Manny may be ready to start a family, but unfortunately nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny thinks he may be the last one. Until he miraculously finds Ellie (voiced by Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world. There is one ...  Read the complete review

There is nothing better than a well written and produced family film. In the past decade computer animated films have taken a new role of keeping the families happy by producing quality films. This is the second film in the series. Here you have a group of prehistoric and now extinct animals living happily in a valley. Manfred Sid and Diego are three animals in the centre of the story. Manfred is a mammoth and he thinks he is the only one left in the world. Ellie the female mammoth comes in the story but she is convinced she is not a mammoth. In the early part of the story the animals are happy playing in the waters of melting snow. The blissful ...  Read the complete review

Welcome back to our lovable trio of Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano - Everyone Loves Raymond), Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo - E.R.) and Diego the Sabre Tooth Tiger (Denis Leary - Rescue Me). Things are slightly different in this film, the team are very much that, with the bonds that were formed in the first movie proving to be lasting, and the three creatures now forming a very solid, if somewhat unusual "herd". Sid continues to make it his ongoing mission in life to push Manny and Diego to the brink of violence with his annoying antics and neverending dialogue. Manny is grappling to come to terms with the fact that he seems to ...  Read the complete review

Im a big kid at heart and absolutely adored the first Ice Age movie, in fact I saw it several times in the cinema. When I heard they were making a sequel my first comment was "I have to see it" I had no idea what the film would be about but I simply had to see it, naturally there was a risk of being dissapointed but I was willing to take that risk. Sadly I missed it when it was released in the cinema(was busy having a baby at the time) and so had to wait until it was released on DVD, finally I have a copy in possesion and im not dissapointed. ICE AGE- Some people may not have seen the first movie so I thought it would be a good idea to give a ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room It took all of two minutes for me to realise that Ice Age 2: The Meltdown was a trip worth taking. We reconvene with Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel who has been trying to keep hold of an acorn for the winter for the entire length of the first film, and here he seems to finally have bettered it, but of course, the story doesn't end there, and through another ridiculous set of circumstances, he is sent once again searching for that magical acorn. Meanwhile, it appears that the ice age is coming to an end, because everything around the loveable creatures appears to be melting. We watch up ...  Read the complete review
