Review

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opens with the stitched-together prehistoric family about to become a biological one: Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a baby mammoth. Unfortunately, this makes Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) feel left out. Diego, who worries he’s losing his edge, decides to head out on his own, while Sid adopts three suspiciously large eggs that he’s found through a crack in the ice. Up to this point, the movie is perilously sappy--does anyone, particularly a kid, want to watch a kid’s movie about parenthood and impending middle age? Fortunately, the eggs turn out to be dinosaur eggs from a pre-mammalian underworld, and when the mama T-Rex comes to rescue her rambunctious little ones, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs transforms into a delightful comic adventure. The emotional side of the Ice Age movies has always been a tad mawkish, so it’s smart that Dawn of the Dinosaurs emphasises physical comedy. Clearly, the animators have been inspired by a wild fusion of Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton. The character of Scratte, with his non-verbal, monomaniacal efforts to get that last acorn (doubled in this movie with the addition of a female counterpart), is only the most obvious reflection of this sensibility. The animators have great fun with the differences in scale between the mammals and the dinosaurs, and the introduction of a deranged Australian weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) pushes everything into Loony-Tune territory. Let Pixar tug at our heartstrings; Ice Age aims to tickle the funny bone and does a fine job of it.--Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Ice Age 3
My 3 year old grandson loves dinosaurs so I bought this DVD. He just loves watching it. He has great fun watching the animals fall about and laughs out loud as he finds it so very funny. When asked whether he wants Ice Age or Toy Story he always chooses Ice Age. Even the scary dinosaur he finds amusing as it is all done in a friendly, fun manner.

Great movie, shame about the download
There is nothing I can add to all the reviews of the movie - it's as much fun as the previous two, and you don't need to be a child to enjoy it. Just ignore the liberties which are taken with geological history!
My reason for giving this only 4 stars is to do with the alleged digital download. Just insert the disk in your pc and choose 'transfer digital copy' it chirps. Only problem is when I put it into my pc, the movie played, but where was the digital download option? 'If you have any queries about using or transferring your digital copy please visit www.foxdigitalcopy.com, it says on the inlay. So I did. Nothing that was any help to me. No FAQs, no customer service, no nothing apart from adverts for future DVDs I won't be able to download and a customer service button to use if you bought direct from them. I don't know what the problem is, and I have no way of finding out. I had the same problem with Fantastic Mr Fox. So a word of warning. Don't believe everything you read on this tin.
