	Ice Age \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW One of the unexpected delights of the computer-animation revolution is that it hasn't been dehumanized by all the digital dazzle.
		At the beginning of ''Ice Age,'' Scrat, a snaggletoothed fuzzball of neurotic energy, tries to bury his precious acorn, a task that will elude him in various ways throughout the film, rendering him a kind of pip-squeak Wile E. Coyote.
		The very setting of ''Ice Age'' is a winterized version of the Road Runner's playfully abstract jungle-gym desert.

		But what makes the "Ice Age" deleted scenes interesting is the fact that countless hours of meticulous computer-generated artistry went into the construction of clips -- yet they had never seen the light of day during the film's theatrical run.
		"'Ice Age' had some pacing problems, and there were characters that didn't matter as much as we thought they would when we started, so we trimmed a few sequences out," Wedge explained.
		Another co-star in the "Ice Age" cast was Wedge himself, who provides the sounds of the mischievous saber-toothed squirrel Scrat, who appears throughout the film.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Ice Age" review (2002)
		It's a pity that most anyone who regularly goes to the movies has already seen the best two minutes of "Ice Age," a uniquely styled new computer-animated comedy that takes place in a era of woolly mammoths, cave men and saber-tooth tigers.
		While the rest of the picture is not by any means all downhill from there, this scene is so funny that nothing after it has a prayer of measuring up.
		"Ice Age" isn't destined for the kind of instant-classic reverence bestowed upon last year's batch of CGI fare for families.

	Ice Age production notes - Carlos Saldanha, Chris Wedge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		All the creature wants is to bury an acorn, as squirrels tend to do for the winter (and isn’t the ice age like the ultimate winter?) But as Scrat tries to ram the nut into a glacier, he inadvertently starts the ice age by cracking the ice, causing the glacier to move forward.
		This sequence, which opens ICE AGE, not only provides scale and scope to the natural wonders surrounding the characters, it sets the tone of the film.
		Having Scrat trigger the ice age was only the first step — the tip of the iceberg, so to speak — in creating the film’s environments.

		From the makers of Ice Age, the movie is set on a world of robots, where an idealistic young machine man moves from hicksville to the big city and ends up in a fight against cutthroat corporate forces seeking to destroy outmoded citizens in favor of flashy new hot bots.

	Ice Age - Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies
		Premise: Set during the Ice Age, this is the story of a human infant who is found by a group of animals that includes a woolly mammoth (Romano), a sabre-toothed tiger (Leary), and a pair of giant sloths (Leguizamo, Krakowski).
		Ice Age was his film debut, so he has no other films that bring the average down (even big stars like Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise have clunkers that skewer their averages down).
		There haven't been as many movies about the Ice Age, and the animals of that era, as you'd expect, which is strange when you consider that humans are a lot closer on the timeline than the "dinosaurs" that people seem more fascinated by.

	Herald Sun: Next Ice Age 15,000yrs away (archived)
		The last Ice Age ended 12,000 years ago, when warmer weather caused the thick northern polar ice sheet which had descended as far south as southern England and the northern United States to go into retreat.
		The ice sample, comprising a cylinder 10 centimetres in diameter and brought to the surface in three-metre sections, was drilled at a site called Dome C by the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA), a collaboration of 10 European countries.
		If that ice can be recovered, it will give a climate history dating back more than 900,000 years, more than twice the previous record of 420,000 years, drilled by Russian scientists at Vostok, also in Antarctica.

		In fact, if Ice Age hadn't been in development before those movies arrived in multiplexes, one might be tempted to argue that the screenplay for this film took elements from its two immediate predecessors, jumbled them together, then dumped them out in the middle of a frozen tundra.
		Ice Age's director is Chris Wedge, whose only previous experience behind the camera was making an animated short called "Bunny".
		It's perfectly acceptable family entertainment - the kind of movie that parents can take their children to without worrying about inappropriate content (for either the youngsters or the adults).

	DiverseDVD \| Ice Age Movie Review by Amy Harlib (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		'Ice Age', a comedy-adventure set 20,000 years ago during dramatic climactic upheavals and where immense herds of mammals were migrating south to avoid advancing glaciers, focuses on a maverick mammoth called Manfred (Ray Romano) who bucks the tide and heads north.
		Amidst 'Ice Age's' mayhem and mirth the characters get to develop quite a bit of depth while they learn to care for each other and for baby Roshan.
		'Ice Age' offers dazzling visuals (including state-of-the-art rendering of different kinds of fur on each of the 3 lead characters and an enormous range of surface textures, snow, fire, water, feathers and the Neanderthals aren't bad either).

	Ice Age
		A little light on the smarts though, if the Scrat is going to survive the Ice Age, he’d better stick close to Manny, watch his back for a lurking Diego and always keep two hands on his nut.
		Ice Age is a digitally-animated feature film from Blue Sky Studios, a computer graphics imagery/feature film animation studio and a division of Twentieth Century Fox Animation Studios.
		Wedge felt the ice age was the perfect setting for an animated film, as it allowed a balance between realism and artistic freedom.

	Ice Age (2002): Reviews
		Ice Age never matches the brilliance of ''Toy Story'' or the heartfelt heft of ''Shrek,'' but it's an antic and sweet-spirited pleasure.
		Ice Age snaps with visual wit whenever director Wedge breaks the stale story to pieces and pumps in some bracing fresh air.
		If Ice Age lacks the fit and finish of top-of-the-line films from Pixar, DreamWorks or Disney, it's still an impressive piece of work for a new feature animation group, and a harbinger of cool cartoons to come.

	Ice Age - Arts & Entertainment
		Over 20,000 years ago, the Earth was being overrun by ice, and creatures of every kind were fleeing the damage that will surely be caused by the new Ice Age.
		The movie "Ice Age" is centered around three eccentric animals, a mammoth, a sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger, on a journey to reunite a human baby with its father.
		One way to gage how popular a PG movie will be is whether or not it keeps an older audience entertained for the duration of the movie, and Ice Age has enough comical moments to keep viewers of all ages interested.

	DVD & Movie Reviews: Ice Age
		The movie, as you would expect from the title, is set long (lonnnnng) ago as the Ice Age is about to descend upon the Earth.
		Ice Age is very much a road movie and while the plot is basic, the characters and their comic interaction are superb.
		As said before there are huge laughs to be had in Ice Age and kids and bigger kids (like me) will have an absolute hoot watching and re-watching it.

	BBC - Films - review - Ice Age
		Though the narrative style of "Ice Age" has been around for almost as long, superb animation, a droll script, and excellent vocal talents make this a compelling and surprisingly moving addition to the computer-generated canon (where it sits alongside the likes of "Monsters, Inc. " and "Shrek").
		Although "Ice Age" doesn't match "Shrek" for animation and wit, it still manages to remain consistently entertaining and delightful throughout.
		A scene where Sid discovers the freakish stages of evolution frozen in ice is particularly quirky and amusing.

		The filmmakers set ICE AGE in North America, which informs the film’s cultural and music references, as well as the art direction, color palette, and lighting.
		The lighting software used in the film, known as Ray Tracing, mimics the myriad subtleties of ambient light, rendering a rich, organic feel to ICE AGE’s characters and sweeping vistas.
		But I think ICE AGE’s heart and emotion are going to surprise them.

		THE computer-animated feature "Ice Age" was advertised by one of the best trailers of the past decade.
		It probably features enough slapstick humor to entertain small children, but little of the inspired visual artistry or clever dialogue that made "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." such a pleasure for adult viewers.
		Ambling after the animal procession, he irritates a pair of (apparently gay) rhinos (Cedric "The Entertainer" and Stephen Root) and has to be rescued by Manfred the Mammoth (Ray Romano).

		What breaks the ice between them is the discovery of a baby, separated from her clan and whom Sid and Manfred pledge to return to the rest of the "pinklings".
		There are some insightful scenes which question man's responsibility to other creatures and the story of why Manfred is so miserable is brilliantly handled through a series of drawings the characters discover on a cave wall.

		Ice Age is yet another “extinction for kids” movie, one of many in a long line of baby dinosaurs, pterodactyl eggs, and sympathetic cavemen.
		Ice Age is really little more than a collection of silly animal gags and Leguizamo one liners.
		Ice Age’s comedy is worthy of Bugs, but unless you’re under 5, you’ll be bored with everything else.
