    Ice Age: heats up your funny bone

    by jimjoel49

    What makes the Ice Age movies better than other animated feature film is the writing. It is witty that keep you laughing throughout the film. The characters are a joy to watch how their personality relates to each other. The animation is the next step up that gives us wonderful eye candy. All actors give us their best performances. So far this is the best animated feature film this year.

    Ice Age 3

    It was great! I couldn't decide which I liked better, this one or the original. I thought the third Ice Age was super but I really liked the premise behind the first movie with the tribe losing their baby. The second movie was o.k. but you should really check out Dawn of the Dinosaurs!
