Reviews
Ice Age
This is a great production by 'Fox Animation Studios' and hopefully similar ones shall follow. The animation is excellent and all the characters are well designed. I especially liked the scenery, which changes while the story carries on, yet it always is impressive. The story is good and manages to couple all the characters with the saving of the human baby. The music -though- is not the expected one. Some good soundtracks could make this cartoon movie a brilliant production.
Ice Age
An exceptionally entertaining film containing breathtaking animation, superb direction, amusing performances by the voice actors, who are perfectly cast for their roles, and a touching storyline. Includes several incidents of violence.
Ice Age
It's the perfect film for everybody to watch.
