Not Ice Age 1, but still worth it
The third Ice Age, like the second, doesn't quite make the standard of the first one on the funny scale, but it IS funny - perhaps funnier for adults than for children. Many jokes were references young children had no hope of getting, but they got me at least to chuckle, and more often laugh out loud. At some points, I felt I was enjoying myself more than my niece!
But the movie started with what felt like a more serious storyline, and there were fewer chuckles for the first half hour or so. I also felt some of the story was a bit scarier for the six-year-old with me. She didn't shield her eyes - but at one point, she did get ready to.
The new character Buck was enjoyable, however stereotyped he was, but Ellie fell a bit flat. The squirrels didn't quite do it for me, although my niece got quite a kick out of them.
In the end, the movie was for the six-year-old, and I can only assume she enjoyed it since she talked about the movie the rest of the day until she fell asleep!
