ICE AGE 3: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS Film Review - 20/9/09

Caught this on it's last run but unfortunately not the 3D version and like banging a tube of toothpaste with a lump hammer to get out the last of it 'Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs' wrings out the last few dregs while selling off a tonnage of cute furry plush toys & beanie babies. Yes - The animation was even better again and there were plenty of laughs & sniggers but it all feels oh-so-samey? Let's call it a day on this franchise and Shrek as well PLEASE!!!


Manny & Ellie the mammoths are about to have a baby. Diego the sabre-toothed tiger is fed up and has had enough and set's out on his own and Sid the sloth feels totally left out until he comes upon a clutch of eggs that hatch out into baby dinos that he looks after. When the real mother turns up and grabs Sid & the baby dinos the whole herd race off to save Sid. Coming across a hidden underground world of 'lost dinosaurs' they meet a new character called Buck (Voiced by Simon Pegg) and battle their way across the landscape with Buck guiding them. Along for the ride in the background is Scrat the squirrel who seems to have found himself a female companion along the way as they fight over 'the acorn'. Everything ends well with everybody singing and dancing all happy clappy over the credits.
