Ice Age
Rating: 7.9/10 ⭐️
I expected this to feel dated, but was surprised by the heart. It's a breath of fresh air—a simple story about protecting a child and finding redemption, with zero hidden agendas.
The Director’s Eye:
The CGI is 2002-era, but Blue Sky nailed the lighting contrast between the cold ice and warm characters. Manny feels heavy and grounded in the frame. At its core, it’s a pro-family story about misfits saving a baby. Diego’s redemption arc—struggling between predatory nature and conscience—is moving. Manny’s selfless duty is a great lesson. I loved the use of "Send Me on My Way."
The Cuts:
Let's be real, the animation has aged—humans look stiff and backgrounds are empty. Sid the Sloth walks the line between funny and annoying, and the dodo sequence felt like a weird fever dream.
Verdict:
A solid, wholesome classic. It champions the idea that family is who you choose to protect. Clean, funny, and morally sound.
Favorite Line: "That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other."
