Ice Age: The Meltdown

The sequel is better than the original. Ice Age: The Meltdown carries the same funny as the first one, but brings animated to a new level. I really enjoy these movies. (Let's see if they become the new Land Before Time series)

The new film stars the voices of Ray Romano as the Mammoth, Manny; John Leguizamo as the Sloth, Sid; and Denis Leary as the sabertooth tiger, Diego. These guys were in the first film and are hilarious again.

As the title explains, this film deals with the end of the Ice Age. The ice is melting and the heard of animals need to escape.

Part of the focus is on Manny. He seems to be the only mammoth left alive. While being ridiculed for it and thinking on the end of his species, he stumbles upon a female mammoth who believes she's a possum.

Will all the creatures escape the meltdown? Maybe not because, along the way, they are hunted by buzzards and two nasty creatures just below the surface of the water...

Ice Age: The Meltdown is a great family film. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
