Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opens with the stitched-together prehistoric family about to become a biological one: Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a baby mammoth. Unfortunately, this makes Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) feel left out. Diego, who worries he’s losing his edge, decides to head out on his own, while Sid adopts three suspiciously large eggs that he’s found through a crack in the ice. Up to this point, the movie is perilously sappy--does anyone, particularly a kid, want to watch a kid’s movie about parenthood and impending middle age? Fortunately, the eggs turn out to be dinosaur eggs from a pre-mammalian underworld, and when the mama T-Rex comes to rescue her rambunctious little ones, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs transforms into a delightful comic adventure. The emotional side of the Ice Age movies has always been a tad mawkish, so it’s smart that Dawn of the Dinosaurs emphasizes physical comedy. Clearly, the animators have been inspired by a wild fusion of Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton. The character of Scratte, with his non-verbal, monomaniacal efforts to get that last acorn (doubled in this movie with the addition of a female counterpart), is only the most obvious reflection of this sensibility. The animators have great fun with the differences in scale between the mammals and the dinosaurs, and the introduction of a deranged Australian weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) pushes everything into Loony-Tune territory. Let Pixar tug at our heartstrings; Ice Age aims to tickle the funny bone and does a fine job of it. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars Very funny.   November 21, 2009
M. Stout (Pasadena, MD)
Our family has been a fan of the Ice Age movies from the beginning. From the grandkids to the grandparents, we find them hysterically funny and true family entertainment. This is a Christmas gift for my grandkids and once they saw it in the movies they couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs + The Scrat Pack   November 15, 2009
T. Miholich
This is a great movie for children and adults alike. I actually bought it because I have a boxer puppy and he loves to watch anything with animals. I laugh more from his antics then from the movie, but the movie is fun, entertaining and a great family movie.


1 out of 5 stars Just a misleading and meager 'special edition' of Ice Age III   November 12, 2009

This rating does not reflect my opinion of the 'film part' of this Pack but the Pack itself, of which the second DVD is called "The Scrat Pack" for no other reason than that it contains a couple of old short Scrat films and that's about it. A very cheap marketing trick to make you pay 50% more. Buy the film!

This is equally as good as the other Ice Age movies. This is a movie you can enjoy with your children or grand children and really laugh together. I do hope there are more of these films in the future. Good story, great writing and fabulous animation.
