At no stage does the movie depict any real violence although there is action aplenty. The three comics - Leary, Romano and Leguizamo - have a lot of fun with the characters and there are plenty of light chuckles. Naturally, things change as the trio travel together and Diego finds himself having a change of heart as he begins to appreciate the company of this mismatched pair and his heart just goes out of the planned attack. Wanting the baby so badly that he can think of nothing else, Soto instructs Diego to snatch the child from the claws/trunk of the travelling pair but ends up joining them on a trek north where he plans to ambush them and secure the Mammoth for his next meal. Soto instructs Diego to bring him the child of one of the humans so he can extract his revenge, but things don't go quite as planned and the baby ends up in the tender care of Sid and Manfred after his mother heroically saves him from Diego's claws. Meanwhile, a pack of Sabertooth tigers, lead by Soto ( Goran Visnjic) is planning on ambushing a small tribe of Neanderthals as retribution for killing off their pack. Saved by the intervention of Manfred, Sid decides to team up with him, much to Manfred's dismay, and head north. Sid the Sloth in the meantime has overslept and wakes up to find the only creatures left behind are some slow moving armadillos, who leave a nasty mess behind which gets him into trouble with Frank and Carl, a couple of small-brained rhinoceros-types who are determined to see an end of him for eating the last dandelion.
Manfred the Mammoth is heading north, against the tide of the mass migration heading south due to the encroaching Ice Age (which is hastened by one crazy squirrel type creature called Scrat who insists on trying to bury his acorns in frozen ground and cracking the tectonic plates in the process).
Indeed, the movie was so well paced that the 75 minute length passed by extremely quickly and should prove highly entertaining.

When I first starting watching Ice Age, I had fears that it was simply another Shrek with the animation being somewhat similar in quality, but no fear - although there are some similarities in the setup (an unlikely hero (Manfred) with an unwanted sidekick (Sid)), the inclusion of Diego and the silly antics of Scrat the Sabertooth Squirrel (or whatever it is), plus the other characters that pop up here and there (especially the Kamikaze Dodos) show that the producer and directors went to great lengths to create something unique. It was obviously an inspiration to get John Leguizamo for Sid the Sloth, and Denis Leary has an excellent voice for the devious Diego the Sabertooth. Ray Romano as Manfred the Mammoth is an excellent choice with a deep voice that never seems to get agitated, yet he's a gigantic creature compared to everything else. The movie itself is ably enhanced by the choice of voice actors for the various characters. This is especially true if you have young children who will love this movie even more since it combines all the elements needed for a successful animation comedy loveable characters, a sense of humour, a simple to follow storyline and plenty of drama. If you are a fan of light comedy and animation then you are going to love Ice Age.
