Blue Sky Studios proved that they can created ground-breaking animation, but this time, our story finds them at the point of their history where they became a true animation studio, as they not only were able to create a movie based on a book from Dr. Seuss with Horton Hears a Who!, but also turned Ice Age into a franchise that resulted in some of the biggest movies in the studio’s history like The Meltdown and Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

I grew up with these movies. That was a good time. The thoughts of what the Sour Kangaroo did to Horton have been infesting my mind for the past several years. I can hardly wait for the next part.

Why has the Sour Kangeroo’s treatment toward Horton been on your mind during the past few years?

This was definitely worth the wait and as much extra time needed to make this come out so good. This was still informative while also being entertaining with a few jokes you inserted in, my favorites being you saying “key word: attempt” over one of Crash and Eddie’s scene in The Meltdown as a way of describing how they’re meant to be comic reliefs and fail in those roles as well as a reminder of how you feel about those 2, and freaking out over Santa’s appearance in the Ice Age Christmas special due to him being a human and the first one since the first film. Never be afraid to continue making us laugh as well while watching your Animation Lookbacks. Those moments of humor have always been the highlights of the series, and I can’t wait to see what new jokes you’ll come up with in the next episode and see if they top the ones in this episode.

I haven't seen 'The Meltdown' in (no pun intended) ages, but I recall Crash and Eddie's attempts at providing comedic relief falling flat, especially with the former belting out "I believe I can fly" before (pun intended) crashing into a tree George of the Jungle-style.

Here are my thoughts of the three Blue Sky Studios movies he discusses: Ice Age: The Meltdown: I agree that this is step down compared to the original as I didn’t think the story, writing, some of the humor, and new characters weren’t that great although the improved animation, Scrat’s subplot, the action scenes, world building, and direction is what carries this movie to be somewhat okay at best. Although I didn’t know Chris Meledandri took inspiration from Ice Age 2 to form Illumination to what the studio is today. Not my good but not bad either. Horton Hears a Who: While I did grew up reading Dr. Seuss books, Horton is not amongst my favorite of the he made books but is it solid though. For the movie itself, I still think this is by far the best Dr. Seuss movie we ever gotten so far when compared to the live action movies from Universal and animated films from Illumination. I think the people at Blue Sky Studios did a good job in being with the book, themes, and the world of Seuss too even though they took liberties to make it hip for the young crowd like the pop culture references, the anime sequences, and Jim Carrey being his usual himself although not over the top compared how he did with the Grinch. Overall, I think it was solid. I don’t know if Warner Bros will do better by the time their take of The Cat in the Hat comes out, but I doubt it will be in the levels of what Blue Sky did. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: While I don’t think it is not all that great, I think I was entertained the most out of all the Ice Age sequels they made because the dinosaur world looks more interesting and getting more enjoyable moments from Buck which Simon Pegg did a good job on. Sure the story and writing are still not that good, but the animation, dinosaur world, the intensity, and some of the jokes in this were decent. I would second behind the original while Meltdown is in the middle in terms of the Ice Age ranking. I think the franchise went peak with third movie in terms of creativity so far overall. Guess by the time we enter the 2010, I guess we will discuss more about others films like Rio, Epic, and another Ice Age in terms of their high moments before eventually their downfall for next time. It been interesting so far.

That was that exact clip he played when he talked about how Crash & Eddie were brought in to be new comic reliefs for the franchise. Perfect clip to show how they fail in that department. No wonder they’re not coming back for the sequel, and Crash’s actor Sean William Scott giving the rumor that his character could be confirmed dead in the sequel. It’s obviously a rumor, but we’ll only have to wait and see when Ice Age: Boiling Point is released.

Because I have grown to admire other people's views and cultures. And not just the Sour Kangaroo's resentment towards those kinds of things, but also manipulating almost the entire Nool community intocapturing Horton, forcibly labelling his wisdom as dangerous sayings, and using their own children to manipulate the animals into allowing her to have her way really irks me. She's honestly a bigger threat to the children than what she says Horton is. I have been getting better recently, but sometimes, whenever I think about some of the things she says in the third act, I find it a little tricky to not think about them. I blame my autism for that. Though thankfully, I believe talking to other people about them, like I'm doing right now, can help by just letting them out and maybe getting some understanding from those who heard them.
