Ice Age - AniMat's Classic Reviews

Before all those pointless sequels, there was only one movie...and it was good

Damn! That was quick. I've never seen two Classic Reviews come out so soon. But considering how the two movies (Antz and Ice Age) have a lot of parellels, it makes sense. Plus, I haven't seen the original Ice Age in a couple of years, but I completely forgot about how good parts of the movie could be. Not just in the story and journey, but there are some strong moments with NO DIALOGUE including the mother's death (Oh poor Disney symbolism), and Manny's past. I mean, there's a bit, but it's very minimal. That's a risky, but effective move. With all of that said, I don't hate every sequel. At 4, I stopped liking. 2 is OK at least, and while 3 jumps the shark by including dinosaurs, I have a soft spot for it because of Simon Pegg, and also because I watched the hell out of this movie when I was 13, because I was sick with the swine flu when that happened. Also, YOU CLEVER CLEVER MAN! Asking AniMat to review Fantasia. It'll be predictable, but positive credit is a nice trend.

Yeah that seems about right, the animation is a tad dated but it has a heart unlike the sequels. Its a great movie, the sequels suck for the most part though I kinda liked the third one, but yeah this is far and away the best. Well Fantasia should be interest, I always wanted to that reviewed just to see how it would work for the rating system. Its just a unique film that I honestly am not sure how to rank it from a writing stand point in general.

My theory on the Humans is that because they are kind of the more serious element of the first film, they took them out in the next movies because they progessively aimed them more towards dumb kids. Overall, I agree with what you said here about the film, very charming, very likable and very funny. And I am sure your next review will be Fantastic (if you know what I mean *wink*).

Personally, I would love to see how don bluth would handle this movie. But I'm glad that this film is great overall. Also, Fantasia is next.

Oh man, I remember when this was new on DVD. I told my friend "I really like this movie, do you think they'll make a sequel? I wonder what that would be like." He said "they're not going to make a sequel, there's nothing to make a sequel with." Look who's right now. lol. Also, the "humans" aren't "humans," they're Neanderthals, a close relative to humans but a completely different species. This is the main reason they look so weird. The early CG is a component, but the main reason is zoology. Don't believe me, I heard it in a bonus feature on the DVD release. That's about as cannon as you can get (also, the extinction of the Neanderthals explains why they aren't in any of the sequels). Also, looking forward to Fantasia.

Honestly, maybe it's because the sequels have ignored it, but I keep forgetting that there were humans in the first Ice Age, so yeah, why the fridge would the sequels just flat out ignore whatever happened to them. In fact, I don't recall any of them mentioning the whole reason why Manny Sid and Diego are friends to begin with, so that's probably the big reason why the sequels are bad, because nothing about the first one except for having Manny Sid Diego and Scrat is ever connected to the sequels. So, Fantasia next! Very excited for it! It's actually one of those movies that I didn't care much for as a kid, but as an adult, I definitely care much more about it today for not just being an animated film, but being a film that's just pure imagination and art.
