Movie #483 "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown" is a very entertaining film. There are some sequences in it that are rapid fire and well crafted for animation. It has lots of heart, good humor (esp. with Sid), and as it says below, it is a feel good film --- doesn't go for the potty humor at all --- fun for adults and kids, I should think, so I highly recommend it for family entertainment. The story seems secondary, though, to the entertainment factor. I can't even tell you what the plot was --- it was so thin; I got the conflict, that there's a continual meltdown that is wreaking havoc on the animals who are used to being in the cold (like the Mammoth) or don't like water (like the tiger). They are searching for safer grounds, and friendships are made on their trek.
I give it 3.6 stars out of 5
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
(2006) PG
Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), Manny (Ray Romano) and Sid (John Leguizamo) return in this sequel to the hit animated movie Ice Age. This time around, the deep freeze is over, and the ice-covered earth is starting to melt, which will destroy the trio's cherished valley. The impending disaster prompts them to reunite and warn all the other beasts (including characters voiced by Drea de Matteo and Queen Latifah) about the desperate situation.
