Continental Drift Explained! "Ice Age 4"






Ice Age 4.

I can't believe there's been 4 of these!!!

The Story:

The gang gets separated from their family, and they will move heaven and earth (or continents) to get back home again.

Plus pirates.
Don't forget the pirates.


These reviews are essentially bullet-proof.   You're either watching them with your kids, getting them for your kids to watch, or ignoring them completely.

Odds are, if you fall into the first 2 categories, you already know what to expect from this franchise, and have either stuck with it, or have abandoned it one or two sequels ago.  If you're ignoring it, then no argument on my part would get you to watch this film anyway.

The animation is superb, as always.  I long advocated for any company to rise up and give Disney a run for their money.  Competition is a good thing.  It took many years, but we are enjoying a golden age of computer and traditional animation. 

While some of the films aren't the best, for the most part, every studio is putting out some quality films over the last decade.

The voice work is top-notch as well with no hugely distracting "names" that don't really fit into the tale.

Will there be another sequel?  As long as these things make money, I wouldn't doubt it.

Final Grade: B-
