Ice Age (2002)
This animated adventure from directors Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha features the voice talent of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary. After finding a human child a mammoth, sloth and smilodon attempt to return the child to his family.
Despite not being a Pixar film this film is up there with the best work of the genre masters in terms of providing a good story for kids with a few jokes for adults slipped in as well. The plot has a good family feel but does manage to sneak in a fair amount of off screen death and tragedy. About the complaint I have with the film is that none of the animation is especially impressive, the background/landscapes probably being the weak point.
4/5
