Synopsis: Back when the Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and animals were scurrying to save themselves from the upcoming Ice Age, a sloth named Sid, a woolly mammoth named Manny, and a saber-toothed tiger named Diego are forced to become unlikely heroes. The three reluctantly come together when they have to return a human child to its father while braving the deadly elements of the impending Ice Age.
Review: Animation can be seen in any language. This time, I tried first in German whereas I have also the original English version. Next time and then also as comment to this post. I preferred the German Finding Nemo than the original one because of the voices and German version of the text as well much funnier than the English one.  For Ice Age, I had it better in mind than this time. I remember that in 2002 the efforts placed on the textures of the animals was particularly impressive. Now there is more realistic, but it is actually sometimes better to have not to be realistic to be closer to the truth. The story is good and not only for Scrat. This fable as in La Fontaine's can be put in parallel to the current society and the ways one can choose to survive or overcome difficulties. It focuses on some points like solidarity and fun. Without being part of the international Hedonists, I like this motto. The jokes and the situations got older but some are still irresistible. The German voice of Sid enhanced its confusion and this was fun too. I will watch it in English in the coming weeks. It was good to watch it that day. I needed it.
