It will be very great to have a fantastic philosophical thought about squirrel, who has just one goal that is keeping the nut. this character has the very best potential to being a roll for playing Schopenhauer philosophy about the cycle of life ( or the meaning of life in his point of view). when you reach your goal it has no meaning for you and you are now upset because you are bored and you want another goal. this squirrel characteristic sum up all of human goals in one, it will be very great to be compared with human behavior. It is like the hold the door story of Game of Thrones, it will helpful for movie and it's message. Door is very holy, everything is door, you can just use the door in your movie like GOT and it will bring attention to this movie. I am a big fan of this movie.the Internet can not hold the door for the Door

This is second film series that I did a personal research on and there are many negative reviews. I don't understand why most film critics and movie reviewers don't like this film. It is understandable for the first two films as there are plenty of shortcomings but this film is certainly so much better than predecessors. Not to mention, this film series is also rightfully children films; you can't expect it not to be lovable and be more appealing to children. There are already thousands of films out there that are more appealing to adults more than children and while their opinions may not affect all the audience worldwide... Come on, don't be harsh! D;Anyway, kudos to Blue Sky Studios. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) is a delightful sequel and a very pleasant one. I love how the characters has been improved and developed since the last film and I liked this version of them, especially Manny and Ellie! There are also even more prehistoric baby animals in this film, I loved the baby mammoth and baby dinosaurs so much; they are so cute! How not to become a fan of Ice Age after watching this? T-T Okay, moving away from commenting based personal likings, this film has beautiful visuals and an interesting world inspired by prehistoric times. Each film they introduce more distinct characters and add more spice to it; the plot is simple but fun to watch. It is truly a great pleasure to watch them again many days ago just to write on this!On who will like this... If you liked their first and second film, you'll find yourself liking this film. Majority of people can never have enough of Scrat so people who loved him and prehistoric lovers will love this film too!If you have never watched the Ice Age films, I would recommend you to watch this first as the first two films may be dead boring for you mature movie lovers.

Following our love of the first two Ice Age films, my entire family and I expected a third one. It's just as hilarious (if not more) than the first two! As with "The Meltdown", "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" introduced us to new characters, Scratte, Scrat's love interest, and Buck, a weasel who bears traits similar to Crocodile Dundee (played by Simon Pegg of "Shaun on the Dead" and "Spaced" fame). It was a breathtaking experience (with outstanding colors) to see our favorite herd in a new dimension: the Dinosaur world! What more could you ask for? Seeing as Ice Age is a popular movie franchise like Toy Story, we can all relate to the characters at one point or another in our lives. The experience that Ellie and Manny share, Ellie giving birth to her first born child, is something that a lot of parents get excited about and Scrat and Scratte (pronounced Skrat-tay)'s story which regards love is something that we can all relate to.In conclusion, if you are a fan of Ice Age and enjoyed 1 and 2, I suggest that you watch "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs", you and your family will enjoy it dearly, and will want to watch it even more than once!

With Mannie (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) shortly expecting their first child, Sid (John Leguizamo) fears for the future of the herd. Soon enough, Diego (Denis Leary) decides to leave after failing to catch a gazelle, fearing he has gone soft. Sid finds three eggs in an isolated underground grave which he excitedly adopts, only for them to hatch the next day into tyrannosaurus rex's. When their angry mother attacks the herd and takes her babies back with Sid with them, Mannie, Ellie, Diego, Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck) go off in search of rescue only to discover an underground lost world still inhabited by dinosaurs. It is a hostile environment and the group are soon under attack, but they are rescued by a demented one-eyed weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg) who becomes their guide through the treacherous jungle.There seems to be continuing theme throughout the Ice Age films. It could be said the first film dealt with childhood, with the three hapless creatures dealing with a delicate baby, and the second film dealing with adolescence, with Mannie finally discovering a female mammoth and falling in love. Naturally, the third film has Mannie and Ellie having their own baby, and therefore focusing on adulthood. Even the sabre-toothed squirrel Scrat is growing up, finding a possible mate in Scratte, and giving all his attention to her rather than his beloved acorn (which seems to be lonely in an inspired yet quite bizarre love montage between the two). Although, in my opinion, the first sequel The Meltdown (2006) was a step back compared to the first film, the third is the best of the bunch, and it's nice to know that the films are growing just as their characters are.The 'underground lost world' is admittedly a bit of a cheap way to throw in some dinosaurs, but I found it hard to care with animation this beautiful. The opening shot amongst the tree tops of the jungle, with dinosaurs slowly moving and eating from trees, is truly stunning, and a real improvement of the slightly blocky animation of the first film. Sadly, Diego is again given little to nothing to do, and seems a waste of Leary's talents, but the introduction of Buck was certainly a smart one. With Buck as our insane tour guide, it becomes easier to put up with Mannie and Ellie's slightly dull moral heart of the story and enjoy lines such as "about three months ago I woke up married to a pineapple. An ugly pineapple! But I loved her so...". In Pegg's hands his sheer randomness is hilarious. Directors Carlos Saldanha and Mike Thurmeier have stepped up their game rather than relying on the Ice Age franchise to bring in the punters, and given the series the kick up the arse it needed.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
