Movie Review Ice Age: The Meltdown
Ice Age: The Meltdown is a real joy with great jokes, the story moves very quickly and the animation is stylish. The animated comedy Ice Age was about three prehistoric animals who become unlikely friends: Manny the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary).
Scrat, who was in Ice Age for less than five minutes, had now a bigger role in the sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown. Once again Scrat opens the film, but this time every 15 minutes or so he’s back with another death-defying attempt to get that elusive acorn. Scrat appearances are crucial in the sequel, and considering how the movie ended will sure have a strong role in a third Ice Age.
In ‘Ice Age: The Meltdown’ Manny, Sid and Diego are enjoying the effects of global warming with their neighbours in little valley guarded by giants walls of ice. Everything seems idyllic till Fast Tony, the pessimistic armadillo, points to all the vultures circling the valley. A three day journey to a boat is to be take, in order to save themselves from drowning.
On the way, they meet Ellie (Queen Latifah), possibly the only female mammoth left in the world who - even more - thinks she’s a possum and along with her two “brothers”, are trying to get to the boat. From now on great laughs will be following the story which just began.
