Ice Age 2

20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios finally bring us the second installment of this hilarious animated feature.

Global warming is beginning on Earth, and that doesn't sound too great for our pre-historic friends. Manny the woolly mammoth, Diego the sabretooth tiger and Sid the sloth are back again to help save their clan from the Flood. Within three days, their valley will be a mile underwater, displacing the animals and endangering countless lives.

After the initial panic Sid says, "Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures - call me squid!" Sid gets the corny lines, but there are many other comedic moments for kids as well as a few innuendos and saucy jokes for adults to enjoy.

I can't forget the love story between Manny, who believes he is the last mammoth on earth, and a female mammoth named Ellie. Upon meeting Ellie for the first time and seeing her interact with her possum brothers, Crash and Eddie, Sid doubts that "her tree goes all the way to the top branch."

Along with the humor, there is an endearing life lesson. Ice Age 2 tells us that fear is natural, and that you should always try to conquer your fears. Whether it is realizing that you are indeed not the possum you thought you were, or learning how to swim while the world is melting, you can always achieve any goal when your friends are there to help.

The graphics of this movie are impeccable and the storyline adds to the overall excellence of this film.

This gang of animals, their charming personalities and the situations they get themselves into make you want to be 10 years old again.
