 Editor's Note
 Manny, Sid, Diego, and Ellie are back in this third film in the computer-animated Ice Age series. With those creatures in starring roles, fans also get another dose of the vocal talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Queen Latifah, who are joined by SHAUN OF THE DEAD?s Simon Pegg. In ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAUR, Manny and Ellie are expecting their first baby, while Sid the sloth tries an unconventional way of starting a family that gets him into trouble. With all this talk of babies, Diego might be losing his saber-toothed edge, but a journey to save Sid may just turn the whole group into heroes. In addition to all that adventure, it wouldn?t be an Ice Age film if Scrat weren?t on a desperate hunt for an acorn, but he might get distracted by a shapely female squirrel.

Perhaps even the studio has realized this, since the new film moves away from the earlier ones’ drab frozen tundra setting and replaces their geniality with too much spectacle and slapstick. Feeling left out of the birth plans of his mammoth friends Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah), Sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) stumbles upon a collection of giant eggs in an underground cave and decides to raise them as his own. Imagine Sid’s surprise when the eggs hatch to reveal a trio of baby T-Rexes -- and he discovers that their angry mother wants them back....read the full review |
