Ice Age

Ice Age is a handsome computer-animated film set during the last ice age. Sid the sloth has been left in the lurch by his fellow sloths, who have all headed south. Sid seeks protection with the big mammoth Manfred, who is not keen on company but reluctantly accepts the very talkative Sid. They find a human baby, and Sid persuades Manfred that they should find the baby's family. Along the way they are joined by the sabre-toothed tiger Diego, who accompanies them but has sinister ulterior motives.

The film actually resembles another computer-animated film, "Dinosaur", which is also set in the distant past, and there too a group is on an important mission. The recurring theme is solidarity in spite of differences. The plot is also single-stranded and simple, just as in "Dinosaur". The film's strength is its humour, which also makes it interesting for an adult audience.
