Contrary to the first Ice Age, this version has much improved Computer Graphics capabilities, and you can see the details in the hairs, feathers, and even teh forests, lakes and glaciers. It is a great showdown for BluRay capabilities, and it's a world of difference from the standard res DVD.
Worth the extra cost. My son was glued to the screen the moment I put it on. Although he's only 4 1/2 he did notice something was very different with this movie. Also the 5.1 recording and mixing is very well done.

While I still want to see the first Ice Age, having seen the second one first, I must say I am not so impressed with what the media and friends have said. Don't get me wrong, this was surely an enjoyable movie, however it simply did not meet my expectations.
The whole film is a retreat from melting ice. Since the characters live in a sort-of-bowl, they have to escape from it to survive an inevitable rush of water. Their journey is to a boat made from what appears to be a giant tree. I have to admit, as I look back at this film a few days after having seen it, I must say that the general plotline is not so exciting. However, the interesting characters met along the way are delightful and bring this movie some life. This is not to say that the main characters were lifeless. In fact, they all had unique and interesting personalites.
I guess after seeing "Flushed Away" I just have a gneral feeling that "Ice Age: The Meltdown" was good, but not as good as "Flushed Away".

The adventure begins again. This storyline was cool and it was a fun movie. Children will learn about trusting and helping their friends. My daughter still laughs at when she watches it.

You can't keep a good mammoth or sabre tooth tiger, or sloth down!
The gang is back, and this time, the effects of global warming are too obvious too miss. As the ice melts around them during their retreat, hilarious misadventures are the result. Manny meets a young female named Ellie (Queen Latifah) and a romance ensues only after he convinces her that she is not an oppossum. The other cast members, Diego and Sid join the new oppossum duo of Crash and Eddie, and the diverse herd searches for higher ground.
This, like the first film, is packed with comedy. The ensemble `performance' of Crash and Eddie, Diego and Sid, and the oppossum behaviour of perhaps the last female mammoth on earth is well written and only goes overboard on occassion. Two deep sea leviathans take up pursuit of the friends and force them to move on, no matter how `mammoth' the task is (ha!). Scrat, the acorn mad rodent, is still in this film as he continues his dogged pursuit of the holy grail of ALL acorns. The inclusion of a solid sound track serves to move the film along and to pay tribute to a genre that Queen Latifah has embraced whole heartedly.
The special features on this edition includes "No Time For Nuts", commentary, Meet Crash and Eddie featurettes, Sid's Sing and Dance, and DVD rom games.
I heartily recommend this film to any family. It is solid, clean, entertainment that can even cause a little discussion on global warming and its' effects upon our environment.
