Description

Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut and in the process may find his true love; Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Diego, the saber-toothed tiger, wonders if he's growing too 'soft' hanging with his pals; and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world where they have some very close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna, and where they meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

I think that this was the first of the Ice Age series that I sat down with the kids and watched all the way through, so I might not be as tired by the repeated tropes as I might if I had seen the other movies. It was okay. I mean, it's a kids movie in a series to sell movies and keep children

entertained. And my children were entertained. There was almost some internal conflict and character development with the sabre-toothed tiger, but I think that was lost by the end.
