![]() ![]() When the ice behind the dam melts it's only a matter of time, three days to be exact, until the dam breaks and the valley floods. The trio, along with many other animals, are living in a huge valley that is capped by a huge ice dam. ![]() Some time has passed since the first film, apparently several thousands of years since the Ice Age that was starting in the first film is now coming to an end, and the ice is starting to melt. Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the Saber-tooth Tiger (Denis Leary) are all back again for another adventure. While this second film isn't quite as good as the original (how many sequels are?) it still has a good amount of charm and looks wonderful on this Blu-ray disc. Four years later, Fox went back to the characters and made a sequel: Ice Age the Meltdown. It was the type of family friendly movie that both kids and adults can enjoy, something that's all too rare nowadays. The movie had a good, solid story and a lot of laughs. (Okay, I'm not listing Lilo and Stitch which was excellent.) So I didn't have my hopes up when I first saw Ice Age and I was pleasantly surprised. ![]() Even Disney, the company that invented the animated feature, had a string of flops with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, and Brother Bear all being less than spectacular. For a while it seemed that if your name wasn't Pixar that it was impossible to make a good animated feature. I was sure that it would be another dud animated movie. The original Ice Age was a surprise hit for me. ![]()
