Ice Age (2002)

Ice Age (2002) is a warm, fast-moving animated adventure-comedy set about 20,000 years ago as the planet plunges into an Ice Age. When a human infant is separated from his tribe after a sabertooth tiger attack, three very different animals—a grumpy woolly mammoth (Manny), a chatty sloth (Sid), and a cunning saber-toothed tiger (Diego)—form an unlikely trio and set out to return the baby to his people. Along the way they face icy hazards, rival predators, and their own mistrust of one another, while a persistent, nut-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel provides running physical-comedy as a comic side story. Watching Ice Age delivers a family-friendly mix of slapstick humor, charming character interactions, and a surprisingly touching emotional core about friendship and found family. Expect lively animation, brisk action sequences, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments balanced by a few tense, heartfelt beats. It’s an entertaining pick for kids and adults who enjoy animated comedies with heart, memorable characters, and an adventurous prehistoric setting.
