Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opens with the stitched-together prehistoric family about to become a biological one: Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a baby mammoth. Unfortunately, this makes Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) feel left out. Diego, who worries he’s losing his edge, decides to head out on his own, while Sid adopts three suspiciously large eggs that he’s found through a crack in the ice. Up to this point, the movie is perilously sappy--does anyone, particularly a kid, want to watch a kid’s movie about parenthood and impending middle age? Fortunately, the eggs turn out to be dinosaur eggs from a pre-mammalian underworld, and when the mama T-Rex comes to rescue her rambunctious little ones, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs transforms into a delightful comic adventure. The emotional side of the Ice Age movies has always been a tad mawkish, so it’s smart that Dawn of the Dinosaurs emphasizes physical comedy. Clearly, the animators have been inspired by a wild fusion of Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton. The character of Scratte, with his non-verbal, monomaniacal efforts to get that last acorn (doubled in this movie with the addition of a female counterpart), is only the most obvious reflection of this sensibility. The animators have great fun with the differences in scale between the mammals and the dinosaurs, and the introduction of a deranged Australian weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) pushes everything into Loony-Tune territory. Let Pixar tug at our heartstrings; Ice Age aims to tickle the funny bone and does a fine job of it. --Bret Fetzer

 The joke's worn off... November 22, 2009
Teemacs (Switzerland)
I give this three stars with a heavy heart. I really enjoyed the first and second films. The animation is as good as ever, the main characters as endearing as ever, but for me, the joke has gone stale. I found myself struggling to maintain attention and it was only with effort that I made it to the end.
Better than the 2nd, perhaps as good as the 1st November 22, 2009

I loved the first Ice Age. The second was so-so. This third one got me laughing the way the first one did. Some of the jokes were recycled but there was some good new material, too. If you pay attention, you'll notice some weird plot issues, esp. as relating to the previous movies (like, in the second one, wasn't everything melting? Why is everything frozen again in the 3rd one?) but it I'm pretty forgiving to that sort of thing, so it didn't bother me. If you liked the first Ice Age, I recommend the 3rd--even if you didn't like the 2nd.
 Love it! November 18, 2009

My son is almost 4 years old and absolutely loves the Ice Age movies. We own all three now, and this is by far his favorite of them all. He could watch this movie 3 or 4 times a day! I recommend it to anybody looking for a good laugh!
Ice Age 3 November 18, 2009
Kickin' Back (Union City, CA)
Love this movie. Not as good as the very first one, but very entertaining, still.
Good but not like the first one November 17, 2009
ROSMIBG (Mexico)
This movie is way better in Spanish than in English... My daughter loves these movies so we just have to have it.
