Twenty-thousand years ago, Earth was a wondrous, prehistoric world filled with great danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. To avoid a terrible 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.

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.

There's enough classically derived Road Runner-type fun to keep most family audiences happy. But the characters betray their contrivance.

2/4

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.

3/5

Innovative illustration, sharp scripting and vibrant vocalising gives this sprightly animated comedy a knack for melting down the frostiest resistance.

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...

I believe this was a film I watched a good bit as a kid, but the only thing I remember from it was Ray Romano voicing a mammoth. It was nice to check out again!

"Ice Age" (2002) es un recordatorio de que en el cine, el corazón siempre vencerá a la técnica. Aunque la animación actual supere con creces los polígonos de hace dos décadas (salvando el gran trabajo en el pelaje de Sid y Manny), la cinta brilla por unos valores humanistas que siguen completamente vigentes. Lejos de caer en el sermón moralista, la historia expone con una belleza sutil cómo cada individuo es dueño de su propio destino, capaz de romper con los errores y prejuicios de sus antepasados. A través de secuencias memorables como la escena de la lava o la desgarradora pintura en la cueva, la narrativa profundiza en el altruismo puro. Vemos a un Manny capaz de proteger al hijo de la raza que le arrebató todo, y a un Diego que desafía a su propia manada por lealtad a sus nuevos amigos. Al final, la recompensa no es un logro material, sino la satisfacción intrínseca de ayudar y la creación de una nueva familia elegida.
