The ?Ice Age? movies were all fantastic. The animation is great, the voice acting is hilarious and every movie got a great story. But, to me, the best movie in the franchise is ?Ice Age 4?. I really enjoyed this movie more than the others. The story involves around Manny, Sid and Diego on a new adventure after the Pangaea continent gets set adrift. In order to get back home, they use a small ice berg as their boat, but along the way, Sid gets reunited with his old family and Diego falls in love with a saber-toothed cat named Shira. Like i said, the franchise is great, but the fourth movie makes it even better. The story is even stronger, the animation is better and the voice acting was absolutely good. There are a lot of hilarious moments all through the movie and i really liked the movie?s theme song ?Chasing the sun? by The Wanted. Although, i gotta admit, it still looks kinda familiar with the other movies, nothing new happens. But i still think ?Ice Age 4? is the greatest movie in the franchise.
Ice Age 4: Continental Drift is a great movie with great humor,storyline and a fantastic cast.Its the fourth in this film series and although I don?t think its as good as animated fhranchcises such as Shrek and Toy Story,it still is a good and entertaining series of films and doesn?t look like its going anywhere anytime soon.
The continental drift is occurring and the ice is breaking apart and Manny is separated from his wife and daughter.Along with Sid,Diego and Sids grandmother,they must find there way back home.On there journey they are kidnapped by pirates and Diego falls for a female white tiger.Meanwhile, and Scrat is still searching for his nut.
To start with ? the technical side of filmmaking. The Ice Age series has always excelled in providing amazing visuals and this one doesn?t disappoint. The use of 3D is brilliant, almost enough to restore my faith in the dire format, with credit going to the blocking choices for the characters (if that exists in animation) ? they are often propelled into situations where the camera angle would turn to have them move towards the camera, creating the intended three-dimensional ?pop out? illusion. To add to the enjoyment of the visual side of the film, the new animals have been pleasingly designed by the animators.
And on an artistic level of filmmaking, the screenplay is unfortunately missing the wit and subtle humour that made the original film hilarious. The comedy is powered by visual gags instead. Some may find this disappointing but with the state of comedy films this modern day that manage to sell, it seems visual gags are what cater nicely to the target audience which is children. However, I give credit to one of the screenwriters, Jason Fuchs, who has helped script a feature film that does manage to entertain at only 24 years old. But when a film works with visual jokes rather than a script for comedy, it doesn?t make one too excited about the prospects of the people behind the camera. Maybe the reception of Continental Drift can help Fuchs work on his next piece though.
Satisfying voice acting is featured in the film, I was in fact surprised that Drake and Nicki Minaj performed decently. The show-stealer was Wanda Sykes who voiced Sid?s granny ? she was an exception to the aforementioned visual/verbal joke argument as her greater comedy asset was undoubtedly her voice. For the record, it was ironic how Peter Dinklage voiced one of the largest pirates.

It?s inevitable that the question ?Is it better than it?s predecessor(s)?? will be asked about Continental Drift. Well, whilst none of the sequels have been of the same quality of the original, I choose to only compare this one to the last one and the answer is yes, mainly due to the subtext of the story.
It revolves around the animals getting captured by pirate animals and doing their best to turn the tables on them. This could be interpreted as a message about how us humans, represented here as the animals, are capturing animals for our own self interest without any real sympathy. I?m no animal activist but I can safely say this is a relative approach for the filmmakers to go for ? also considering as number three was about dinosaurs which have no relevance this present day ? because the amount of environmental groups wanting for us to save these animals is of a large amount and ever-growing animals are becoming abused, unwanted, and abandoned by some of us. So on the socio-political level of filmmaking, Ice Age 4 has a good reason to exist.
All in all, Ice Age: Continental Drift is an entertaining addition to the series. Whilst it still proves that the series could have only gone downhill from the first one, it has a sufficient amount of reasons to be recommended to the target audience, children and fans of the series alike. Plus Scrat is still as entertaining a character as ever.
I will not spoil the ending but can say that it could be looked at as sequel bait but arguably, the series has gone long enough and I predict that a fifth film will really take its toll on it but time shall tell.
Although not regarded in the same league as the Pixar and Disney output, the initial three Ice Age instalments collected over $2bn at the worldwide box office. (Rather surprisingly, that?s $100m more than the Toy Story trilogy earned.) Posting figures as huge as that means we get treated to another adventure with mammoth Manny (Ray Romano), sabre-tooth tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and silly sloth Sid (John Leguizamo); this time with pirates. Like each episode before it, Ice Age 4 prides itself in offering up goofy laughs and goofier characters, with the ragtag bunch of pirates ? led by Peter Dinklage?s droll Captain Gutt and assisted by Nick Frost?s uproarious elephant seal Flynn ? the source of much joy. The old gang don?t dissatisfy either: Sid is the standout as usual but Diego gets more laughs than normal and Scrat?s little journey is ever-amusing. The serious Manny is still, well, the serious Manny, but you can?t win them all. The bucket load of action remains too, however nothing here tops the dinosaur rumbling in part three. Continental Drift is gratifying escapism for the whole family that, despite being the fourth outing for these prehistoric creatures, shows few signs of letting up.
