He also tries to prepare Sid (John Leguizamo) for the big changes that will take place in their friendship once he and Ellie add a bouncy baby to their little group. Still, he tries his best to prepare a kid-friendly area and creates a beautiful little playground just for his soon-to-arrive bundle of joy. Manny wants his baby mammoth to be raised in a safe environment, but the wild Ice Age world isn’t exactly baby-proof. Manny ( Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) are going to be parents and for Manny, the idea of being a dad for the very first time is a very scary proposition. As far as 3-D goes, Ice Age didn’t exactly melt my heart but it did earn a few extra Brownie points for effort. But Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs doesn’t overdo the 3-D and doesn’t really get in the audience’s face with gimmicky effects. Plus, I enjoy the more vibrant colors offered in 2-D animated films. I’m not a fan of 3-D in most cases because I find it more annoying than entertaining to have things jump off the screen at me. It’s not a bad idea, adding a little salty humor to the Ice Age world, and the jokes and double entendres (which don’t come close to being R rated) liven up what could have been strictly a film for the young ones.įittingly, the third film of the franchise is the first of the Ice Age bunch to be in 3-D. This one seems to have taken its cue from the Shrek films, inserting more than a handful of jokes that’ll soar over kids’ heads. I’m hardly an expert on the first two Ice Age movies having seen Ice Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown a total of one time each, but I don’t remember either of those two movies having as much ‘adult’ humor as the third film of the series: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
