Unoriginal, derivative, and fairly bland. While most would label the film inoffensive or cute, I thought it was weak visually, structurally, and scriptually. Here's a writer's tip: don't look to <i>Dinosaur</i> for story ideas.

aw, you make me sad. at least admit that the stylized cave painting sequence was worth the price of admission.

personally, i liked the movie a lot. i'd say it more leisurly-paced than weak, which was a nice change of pace from something like, say, shrek.

and i really liked sid's design. it's so different than anything i've ever seen in cgi. i also like the approach they made with the movement of scrat.

ah, but to each his own.

I just watched the trailer for Ice Age at rogersvideo.ca and it looks like i'm not missing much.
I'll probably end up renting it but not anytime soon.

No problem! Think of it as making up for all the times you had to correct me! (I actually am good at grammar, I just suck at proof-reading. Don't worry, starting know I'll be sure to read my posts before I post them.

Anyways as for yankees's comment on Robots being better on Ice Age, I have to disagree with that for a few reasons:

1. Ice Age was funnier(just in my opinion)

2. Ice Age had much more heart than Robots. Sure Robots had a few father-son relationships, but in Ice Age I started caring for the characters alot and was wishing that the baby would return to his people. Even though Robots was funny you didn't much for the characters as much as you did for the characters in Ice Age.

3. This doesn't have anything to do with Ice Age but did anyone else notice that Big Weld Industries was a metaphor of the Disney company!
