The Ice Age series is little more than a relic of early-2000’s
animation. Made by Blue Sky Studios, who would go on to secure their place as
easily the weakest animation studio working today, the only real notable aspect
of these films is how they have managed to keep a consistent decline since they
started out, and bear in mind that the first film isn’t even that good to begin
with. Computer graphics that have aged about as well as a puke-stain on what
used to be your favourite shirt, annoying as all hell voice acting and only a
couple of admittedly nice moments to help salvage it, something that would
become far less prevalent in the sequels. As much as I wish I had covered this
earlier on in the year when it first came out, that prospect meant re-watching
all the films in the franchise so forgive me for holding it off for as long as
humanly possible. But these things must be done, and it’s not as if this is
even likely to be the worst film I’ve looked at recently, so let’s just get
this over with.
