That said, the movie has some really frightening, jump-out-of-your-seat moments, such as when Sid is thrown into a fiery volcano, or the two dinosaurs attack Manny. All the reviewers at the press junket were impressed by how the older children responded to the movie. ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN brought laughter, tears and applause from the children in the audience, which is a big surprise to a reviewer. Things are complicated by two dinosaurs that thaw out of the ice and are intent on eating our friends. Needless to say, they all have to survive the flood. And, Scrat needs to get his acorn, which almost leads to divine intervention, although reviewers cannot reveal this providential spoiler. Although Ellie is clearly a mammoth, she thinks she’s a possum because she’s been reared with two possum kids, Crash and Eddie.Įllie has to find out who she is. Diego has a great fear of water, Sid fears that nobody respects him, and Manny fears that he’s the last mammoth, until he comes across Ellie, voiced by Queen Latifah. Everybody is urged to run as fast as they can to the other end of the valley and get in the ark.Īs they’re traveling, Manny, Diego and Sid have to face their fears. When Manny and Diego go up to find him, they too discover that the dam is holding back the great flood. Sid, to get some respect, climbs to the top of the ice dam to perform an impossible high dive. Manny the mammoth and Diego the saber-toothed tiger do not believe it. While the animal kids are using Sid the sloth as a living piñata, Fast Tony, voiced by Jay Leno, is trying to sell everything, including his grandmother, and warning everybody there’s going to be a great flood. While the other animals are playing in the water park formed by the great shapes of the melting glaciers as spring advances, Scrat finds out that behind the ice dam is a great sea of water waiting to break through and flood the valley. ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN opens with a bigger role for Scrat, the squirrel-like animal who’s still trying to get his acorn. THE MELTDOWN skews toward older children and teenagers, and, of course, parents, who will appreciate the family message. These statements underline why MOVIEGUIDE® is concerned about the stages of child development. Coming out of the theater, an 8-year-old said it scared her a lot and she never wanted to see it again, but a 10-year old girl said she loved it a lot and wanted to see it again and again.
