Twenty-thousand years ago, Earth is a wondrous, prehistoric world filled with great danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. To avoid a really bad frostbite, the planet's majestic creatures - and a few small, slothful ones - begin migrating south . The story revolves around sub-zero heroes: a woolly mammoth, a saber-toothed tiger, a sloth and a prehistoric combination of a squirrel and rat, known as Scrat.

Critics Consensus

Even though Ice Age is treading over the same grounds as Monsters, Inc. and Shrek, it has enough wit and laughs to stand on its own.

David Ansen Newsweek In the time-honored tradition of kids' films, Ice Age mixes broad displays of physical cruelty with a sweet message, which in this case is about the need of each member of a herd to look after the other. Mar 9, 2018 Full Review Janice Page Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine Delivers solid laughs and thrills wrapped up in an infectious sense of character. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review After the first three wordless minutes of Ice Age, where a mute squirrel creature named Scrat hilariously struggles to bury his sole remaining acorn in a newly formed glacier, everything goes downhill. Rated: 2/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Innovative illustration, sharp scripting and vibrant vocalising gives this sprightly animated comedy a knack for melting down the frostiest resistance. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique The highlight of the film turns out to be the character least integral to the "plot" ... [Scrat's] apparently eternal quest for a beloved chestnut...plays like a series of classic cartoon short subjects... Jul 6, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
