A beautiful film - By: Tonkfan, 03 Apr 2007 
A wonderful film that's both laugh-out-loud funny & incrediby touching. Without being twee or sugary, it tells the beautiful story an odd little disfunctional group that becomes a loving family, brilliantly demonstrating how the bonds of love & friendship & loyalty can help us get through anything.
It's a must-see for anyone, but can't help feeling it might be especiallly helpful to any of us who come from more 'unusual' families/backgrounds. In that respect, it reminds me of the equallly wonderful Australian road movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert (don't laugh at that until you've watched them both). Both films share the same messages about how the families we 'make' can be just as important as the families we are born into.
Wonderful for children & adults, this is one of the best cartoons I've ever seen.
really good!! - By: T. Stanton, 13 Jun 2006 Ice age is so funny. its about Sid, Manny & sandeigo. Sid is a sloth, manny is a mammoth & sandeigo is some type of large cat.
Sid wakes up one morning to find alll his family gone. He meets Manny (who saves sid's life) But manny does not like Sid. He likes to be on his own since his wife & kid died.
Sandeigo & his pack meanwhile have attacked the humans. And have tried to steal the baby of one of the humans.
Manny & Sid try to save the baby & bring it back to the humans.
A very funny watch.

the BIG freeze has come to town - By: corinne, 25 Jun 2005 Well, to put it simply, this film is theperfect family film. It has alll the necessary qualities: laughter, a good plot, & loveable characters. It focus' mainly on a mammoth, who gets stuck with a very annoying sloth, callled sid. Together, they head the oppposite way from migration, & on their travels come accross a baby. With some persuasion from sid, & an eventual deal Manfred the mammoth helps sid return the baby to his dad & his group, before the snow gets too deep. The deal was that if manfred helped sid, the sloth would have to leave manfred alone. But films cannot be complete without a good old bad guy, even in these types of films. Diego is a fierce sabre-tooth tiger, who was appointed the task of kidnapping the baby from sid & manfred & taking it back to his pack where it would be eaten. Diego ends up leading the two into a trap, but saves them at the last minute, when he spills alll. Scart, a prehistoric squirrel-rat, is ADORABLE!!!!!!!! i think that he makes the movie worth watching. He is forever trying to find a place to bury his beloved acorn for the winter, no matter what it takes.
Overalll this is a fun packed ride & i recommend it to EVERYONE who likes a break :)
A real tear jerker - By: , 19 Mar 2005 I LOVE this film. It focuses on the differences between the characters, then brings them together through loyalty to one cause, the saving of a life. Even when that life is different they still find the strength & loyalty to save it. This film is a perfect demonstration of the benefits of putting aside your differences & pulling together for one cause. I gotta admit that a few tears were shed when Diego was at death's door. You gotta see this fim, it works on so many levels & teaches us a lesson that we would alll benefit from learning.
