He agrees to lead The Herd through the jungle's perils to Lava Falls, where the mother T-rex has taken Sid and her babies. Then they are saved from a further crowd of angry reptiles by a deranged, quick-witted, one-eyed weasel named Buck.īuck reveals that has been living in this jungle for quite some time and is fighting Rudy, a huge fearsome, ill-tempered and hostile albino Baryonyx feared by the inhabitants of the jungle, intending to avenge the eye he lost to it years prior during an ill-fated encounter. Here, an angry Ankylosaurus threatens The Herd despite Diego's efforts to fend it off. Manny, Ellie, Crash and Eddie follow as well and discover that the icy cave leads to a vast subterranean jungle populated by dinosaurs thought to be extinct.

Manny tells him to put them back, but Sid ignores him and looks after the eggs, which hatch into baby Tyrannosaurus rex the next morning.Īlthough Sid tries his best to raise the three dinosaurs, their rambunctious behavior scares away all the younger animals and ruins the playground Manny built for his child, angering Manny.
Sid begins to wish for a family of his own and adopts three apparently abandoned eggs that he finds in an icy cave.
At the same time, Diego debates whether he should leave the herd because he thinks that he's losing his edge as a hunter and isn't meant for the family life.

Hopefully the series gets better, as this first installment just doesn't hold up to animated standards that have been set by recent franchises like "Shrek" and "Madagascar." Still though, kids will love it(Grant dug it!), and with movies like this, that is all that really matters.Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a 2009 American computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Now I have yet to watch part 2, but I did see part 3 in the theater and thought it was an improvement. He is pretty darn funny, and in my opinion the sole reason to watch this cartoon. He just makes weird noises, and his only goal in life is to get an acorn. He's half rat, and half squirrel, and doesn't talk. The one saving grace for the franchise is Scrat. The voices are "meh, just ok" as Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary lead the cast. About some ice age misfits trying to save a human infant and all the mishaps that get in the way on their adventure. The characters are still borderline boring, the animation weak, and the story is pretty weak also.
Rewatching it, I found not much has changed in my opinion. Everyone else seems to enjoy it, but I find it kind of boring and the animation just not that great compared to other movies. I gotta say when this first came out, I didn't care for it at all.
