And the scenes involving Scrat and his new girlfriend are just as funny as they have always been. Especially the first 20-25 minutes, are some of the funniest in any Ice Age movie. All in all, the movies appears slightly stretched and has some relatively slow bits, for which the beginning and ending compensate, though. Then we have the dinosaurs, who are, of course, extremely evil and always hunt down the main characters. The new character of Buck was most definitely inspired by Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the final battle could have directly come from one of the "Star Wars" movies. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" really profits from a slightly new approach to the material, which includes some very obvious parodies. Talking animals certainly isn't one, but if the characters have enough history and emotion, it really doesn't matter. But what is more important to Scrat, his nut or his new girlfriend? With so many animated movies flooding the market these days, it becomes quite hard to come up with new ideas. Being a lot smarter and trickier than him, she gets to keep the nut for most of the time, but eventually falls in love with Scrat, after he saves her from deadly lava. A femme fatal squirrel, who uses her charm to take Scrat's nut away from him. The squirrel Scrat, once again reunited with his precious nut, has to deal with an entirely new problem. Sid, meanwhile, tries to convince the dinosaurs' mother, that he can provide more for the children than her, but eventually has to accept that children belong to their real mother. They are then joined by the mad wannabe pirate Buck, a weasel, who lost his eye to a gigantic monster, named Rudy, that lives somewhere deep in the jungle. Manfred, Ellie, the two opossums Crash and Eddie, decide to save Sid and eventually meet up with Diego on the way again. She attacks Sid and her three babies and abducts them to her world, a large, lush and green jungle, that is located directly under the thick layer of ice. One morning, he realizes that three dinosaurs have hatched from the eggs, and to make matters worse their mother is already looking for them. Sid, the sloth, wants to have children of his own, and when he discovers three abandoned eggs in a cave, he decides to take them with him. He decides to leave his herd, because he feels his life is coming to an end. Meanwhile, the saber-toothed tiger Diego, has to deal with the fact, that he is not the youngest anymore, and that his instincts and reflexes are getting worse. Manfred and Ellie, the two mammoths, are expecting a baby, and Manfred, who is really happy to become a father tries everything to make his wife more comfortable and happy.

While the first Ice Age movie still remains unreached by either of the sequels, the third one considerably improves on the second one, with more humor, better action and interesting ideas. The change of location from the white ice world, the main characters inhabited in the first two films, to the lush and green jungle, also did the movie some good, because the optic is just different and more exciting. But, I have to admit, it was quite entertaining and funny, with many jokes and funny situations. So, since movies franchises often have the tendency to get worse with each sequel, I wasn't expecting very much of the third Ice Age movie "Dawn of the Dinosaurs". I thought it just wasn't original enough, and couldn't make an impact compared to the great original.

Hopefully the series gets better, as this first installment just doesn't hold up to animated standards that have been set by recent franchises like "Shrek" and "Madagascar." Still though, kids will love it(Grant dug it!), and with movies like this, that is all that really matters.-Some minor spoilers, skip the part that describes the plot if you don't want to know anything about it- Personally, I didn't like the second "Ice Age" movie that much. Now I have yet to watch part 2, but I did see part 3 in the theater and thought it was an improvement. He is pretty darn funny, and in my opinion the sole reason to watch this cartoon. He just makes weird noises, and his only goal in life is to get an acorn. He's half rat, and half squirrel, and doesn't talk. The one saving grace for the franchise is Scrat. The voices are "meh, just ok" as Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary lead the cast. About some ice age misfits trying to save a human infant and all the mishaps that get in the way on their adventure. The characters are still borderline boring, the animation weak, and the story is pretty weak also. Rewatching it, I found not much has changed in my opinion. Everyone else seems to enjoy it, but I find it kind of boring and the animation just not that great compared to other movies. I gotta say when this first came out, I didn't care for it at all.
