The Walt Disney Company (via 20th Century Studios) I wouldn't recommend it in the slightest.American multimedia franchise based on six animated films It's not the worst animated movie I've ever seen, not even close, but it's still not very good and was cynically produced to cash in on the name. Anything else would be another hollow extension of a franchise that should have already been over by now. That's the only think they could do that would be even remotely interesting. And, if I'm being completely honest, I've always said that the only thing they CAN do, that would be fresh, would be to revisit the baby Sid, Manny and Diego cared for in the first flick. But, realistically, there's no denying that Ice Age has been on thin ice creatively (my Gene Shalit pun for the day) since the second movie. The animation is solid, so that will hold their attention. Again, kids will be reasonably entertained. Pegg is always good and he is reasonably entertaining in the role, but he doesn't really add much past some good voice acting, because the script is more considered with slapstick and silliness. Like his first appearance, which is a musical number, where he dispatches of several dino-birds who stole an egg. There are some good bits, like the re-addition of Buck, voiced by Simon Pegg. That should be enough to keep kids reasonably entertained, for sure, but adults will have a hard time remaining interested. The movie, though, because of its approach, does move at a very rapid pace and it doesn't stick around for more than it needs. It's the same bullshit you've always seen, except it takes place in space. Scrat fights to keep his acorn when everything around him conspires against him to keep the two apart. Not saying that there aren't some inspired bits, but considering that this is the fifth movie in this franchise, it's really difficult to be that into his antics, when it's essentially the same thing it has been for half a decade. There's the usual slapstick bits with Scrat that are, honestly, getting old. It's literally nothing, but I guess you could make the argument for that, even if I don't buy it for one second. I suppose you could say that Manny and Ellie trying to keep their daughter from leaving the nest when she marries her fiancee, Julian. This movie does absolutely jackshit of that. They found new ways to move their characters forward in intriguing ways. I didn't watch Kung Fu Panda 2, but the third installment actually found new ways to extend the story in a logical way, with deeper exploration of Chinese mythology. And I've heard that there's an already an idea floating around for a sixth movie. And that's fine and dandy for, maybe, 2 movies. They struggle to come up with a solution to their problem, but they eventually prevail and the day is saved and nothing actually happens of any consequence to any one in the movie. That way they give the appearance of freshness when, in reality, the films are almost always the same bullshit of some sort of scenario that threatens the lives of Manny, Sid, Diego and everyone they know. The only reason the Ice Age movies have gone as long as they have, without the obvious reason of they make a lot of money, is that they have found ways to introduce new characters to the already established cast. I don't know how that would happen, if the people responsible for making these movies are all dead, but I'm sure they'd find a way. I wouldn't be surprised if these movies keep coming out even after we're all dead and gone, which might actually be sooner than you think.

I will say that these goddamn fucking Ice Age movies are getting on my nerves. It's not a matter or if, it's a matter of when. That's about all I'm gonna say about that, because I could go on for days as to how this will end horribly. Am I talking about this movie? Or am I talking about Donald Trump being elected the next president of the United States? If you said the latter, then you would be correct.
