This one was a big hit and the sequels continue to draw the crowds. The young kids and teens will like the action and antics. The little tykes like the fuzzy, cute and bug-eyed animal characters. It's one of a small field of films that all ages will sit still for. It is funny and entertaining, and I think suitable for the whole family. Indeed, I think 'Ice Age' and it's follow-up films were made more for adults than for kids. But more than likely, it's because of the humorous dialog that at times is adult. It could be because of some of the mild violence that's shown, and some of the scary characters – notably the lions. Ostensibly for children, it carries a PG rating. This is the first of what was to become a series of animated films with animal characters living in the ice age.

It's a short, simple story with a strong structure and three somewhat stereotypical yet superbly crafted central characters, set against a unique backdrop of prehistoric permafrost strangely unexplored on film considering its interesting inhabitants and splendid scenery (not to mention the artistic licence inherent with a narrative that takes place so very long ago) the animation (and general graphic) style is rough around the edges but ultimately snappy, lively and aesthetically pleasing, with the picture painting a stylistic yet consistent world full of envelope-pushing environmental effects (ala snow and water) that ground the cartoon- esque physics and give them a proper weight, but it's really the interplay of the main players that marks this piece as a cut above the rest as each of them arise as distinct individuals with believable arcs and interesting dynamics - not to mention the fact that the feature is much more emotionally affecting than you'd expect and is pretty funny too (especially in a couple of stand-out set-pieces, most notably 'the dodo debacle.') 7/10

Short, simple and fairly straightforward yet extremely well-executed, entertaining and surprisingly emotional. Actually it is one of the first movies i remember watching I can't count how many times i watched this amazing heartwarming movie on my ten fingers and ten toes, its just a great movie.
