 Ice Age (DVD)
 Ice Age (DVD) ... Black, Andrea Bowen ... / DVD released 21 October, 2002 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / It's 20,000 years ago and there's a bit of a nip in the air as the Ice Age kicks off. Manfred the well-meaning mammoth, Sid the fast-talking sloth and Diego the duplicitous sabre-tooth tiger form a reluctant and unlikely alliance when they come across a helpless human baby. As they try to return the tot to his migrating tribe, the trio must battle more than just the elements in this harsh world of predators and prey. There's plenty of light relief from the dramatic tension and superb action sequences, notably in the form of the brilliant comic invention Scrat, an apparently insane sabre-tooth squirrel who steals any scene in which he--and his acorn—appear (although a flock of keen but hapless dodos give him a close run for the film's comic laurels). Featuring the voice talents of Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo, Ice Age is a thrilling, chilling comedy adventure that's undeniably cool. On the DVD: Ice Age on DVD boasts a whole host of special features, including commentary by director Chris Wedge and co-director Carlos Saldhona, deleted scenes and trailers. The highlight of the bonus material is the exclusive short "Scrat's Missing Adventure" but for the real nitty-gritty go to "Under the Ice". This contains numerous featurettes of varying lengths, including "The Making of Ice Age", "Behind the Scenes", "Art of Effects" and "Sid's Voice Development". These tell you pretty well everything there is to know about the film and its creation. For additional humour check out the brief "Scrat Reveals" segment and Sid's commentary sequences. --Helen BakerNewest Review: ... movie when it first came out, and I have watched it several times since then. Sure it's old, and the graphics aren't as ... more ... stunning as some of the stuff you get now, but I think, as with all first animation movies, this made it better. The writers had to concentrate more on the script and story than the special effects, which really came out here.
The plot is pretty simple; Sid the Sloth, Manny the Mammoth and Diago the sabertooth find a human baby and aim to return it to it's family. What makes it interesting is that Diago is part of the pack that drove it away in the first place.
The story is lovely and heartwarming at places, sometimes...more |

Meet Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano - Everybody Loves Raymond), Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo - E.R.) and Diego the Sabre Tooth (Dennis Leary - Rescue Me). These three come together to form an unlikely trio on an even unlikelier misson, to return a human baby to his camp. The movie is set in the Ice Age, all the animals are migrating to the South, to try and avoid, well, extinction! Manny is a solitary mammoth, who lives a life of solitude since his family was killed by hunters. Believed to be the last of his species, he is a grumpy but kind hearted creature. Ray Romano plays the grouchy mammoth to perfection. Sid is a lazy ... Read the complete review

Ice Age is a very funny film that I have watched now at least 10 times. It is a childrens animated film but I have seen it with and without my grandchildren, I even took my copy into hospital with me and watched it on my mini DVD player. Ice Age is a film about prehistoric animals who are hunting for a lost baby so they can return him to his worried family. The film is so funny because of all the adventures they have and the trouble they get into. I don't know who any of the people are who talk for the characters, I have heard of Jack Black and he is very convinsing as one of the sabre tooth tigers. All of the voices in Ice Age are perfect for the ... Read the complete review

Ice Age is a film made in 2002. It is a computer animated with all the character appearing as either prehistoric and now extinct animals or humans living long time ago. Sid is first of the main characters to appear in the movie. The animals are migrating south for warmer climate. Sid sleeps while everyone leaves him soon we know why, he annoys everyone. Manfred is a mammoth so he likes cold weather. With no one else to go with Sid follows Manfred. Another subplot is sabre tooth cats attacking humans and one of the babies ending up in the river. Manfred and Sid want to reunite the baby despite Sid experiencing some horrific stuff like humans ... Read the complete review

I'm reviewing the film only If you've got young children, or possibly even if you haven't, you'll have heard of Ice Age. It's the animated children's comedy from a few years ago, set in the chilly world of - yep, you've guessed it - the ice age. It went on to spawn a sequel, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, which was released a couple of years ago, but the general consensus was that it's not as good as the original. It must be pretty bad then. Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo) is a fast talking, generally annoying sloth, who is rescued by woolly mammoth Manni (Ray Romano) after he upset a pair of rhinos. Sid discovers his family have left him behind and ... Read the complete review

I've just returned from a holiday in South Africa. Our journey out was in two long stretches, first to Doha, then from there to Johannesburg. Luckily, the plane did offer decent in-flight entertainment, and a few movies. I'd seen most of the films available already, but Ice Age was among those I'd not yet seen. You'll notice this is not my typical film, but I am going to give it a go at reviewing anyway! Story Well, you'll never guess when this film is set! That's right, in the Ice Age! Well, this first film is set right at the start. All the animals are migrating to better ground, except for a mammoth called Manfred or Manny, who seems to be going ... Read the complete review
