The revisionist version of natural history offered up in the Ice Age movies gets yet another twist in the fourth instalment, 10 years after Manny the woolly mammoth, Diego the sabre-toothed tiger, Sid the sloth, and Scrat the squirrel made their chilly debut to hot box-office receipts. The lessons of family and loyalty in Continental Drift may seem a little warmed over, but the creatively constructed laughs, amusing voice characterisations, and inventive CGI animation are reason enough to keep the series viable for kids to giggle about and grown-ups to belly laugh over--sometimes for exactly the same reasons. Once again, acorn-addicted Scrat is the cause of some pretty important behind-the-scenes machinations. His dialogue-free antics also serve as a stand-alone subplot that could easily be a very clever short film of its own. This time the weasely rodent's addled obsession with the fruit of the oak is revealed as the cause of the formation of the world's continents as we now know them. He sets the story--and planet Earth--in motion while pursuing a little nut in a hyperactive prologue that causes underground rifts that in turn form the famous shapes of Australia, Africa, North America, and the outline of Italy (which it turns out is shaped like a boot for a very good reason). Above ground this means more global chaos for the herd of animals we've come to know so well. All the familiar voices reprise their wonderful roles as fissures in earth and ice separate Manny (Ray Romano) from his woolly wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) and boy-crazy teenager Peaches (Keke Palmer). With a killer continental shelf bearing down on them, mother and daughter lead the madcap pack of animal characters toward a safe meeting place while Manny, Diego (Denis Leary), Sid (John Leguizamo), and Sid's crazy granny (Wanda Sykes) drift away on an iceberg schooner into a newly vast open ocean. While floating into oblivion, the mismatched pack encounters a band of animal pirates piloting another slab of ship-shaped ice, captained by a crazed baboon named Gutt (Peter Dinklage), who's bent on resentment-based revenge. The motley crew provides a plethora of comic encounters and a new raft of excellent voice actors. Running a close second to Dinklage in ingenious casting is Jennifer Lopez as Shira, a sultry tiger who, don't cha know, ends up on the good ship and falling for Diego in the end. The adventures of both the land- and sea-based creatures are full of clever gags and densely constructed set pieces that may not be quite up to Pixar story standards, but are certainly always on the ball and executed with computer-animation acumen that is astonishingly lifelike for such an unreal-looking world. Scrat's misadventures act as interstitial connectors to the parallel heroes' journey stories until they ultimately intersect in a massively scaled finale. Even after all the melting and refreezing, the Ice Age world is still a hot commodity in the animated-franchise business and remains a good investment despite the constancy of global rifts in entertaining family fare. --Ted Fry Scrat’s nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he’s been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences--a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Drift along with this great series
Reviewed by 10 year old son. This film is about what happens when the animals home starts to melt and fall into the sea. They have to find somewhere new to live. Along the way they cope with Pirates. It is very good to look at and full of laugh out loud moments, including my favourite when Sid has a drink and says it is "Rich and S.A.L.T.Y."!! If you've watched the other Ice Age films you'll really like this one too.

Ice Age 4
We really enjoyed this dvd. It is one for the whole family, we are pensioners and our daughter and son in law now have it to watch and then friends have asked to borrow it. It lives up to the other Ice Films. Just a lovely gentle film with a happy ending. It also promotes good moral values to younger children without them even knowing.

A great family movie
There is something in there for everyone as we follow the adventures of Manny and his herd. There are some new characters and Peter Dinklage uses his considerable vocal talents to give life to the bad guy Captain Gutt. A must have. My only minor criticism and warning - don't be fooled by the Fast Play option - go straight to the main menu unless you do want to sit through 10 minutes of trailers!!

What's not to like.
OK, I'm a big fan of the Ice Age franchise and purchased this to add to my 3D collection. All I can say is.... It's awesome! Picture quality is outstanding with excellent colour reproduction, brightness and very little cross talk issues using an active 3D system. Oh and the price is a complete give away... An absolute bargain. If you are a fan of Ice Age and 3D you will not be disappointed.... And yes there are a number of pop out sequences that work well and really add to the fun. Buy with confidence.

We love all the ice age films
DVD arrived very quick. Watched it with my grandkids the next day. We love all the ice age films. Love all the characters but if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be Sid. This completed our collection. DVD played perfectly, excellent quality. We will be watching them all again and again.

Ice Age 4 Blu ray
Nun gibt es mittlerweile 4 Kinofilme von Sid und Co. Und wer denkt das da jetzt langsam die Luft raus ist hat falsch gedacht! Denn auch Teil 4 ist ein super Animationsfilm voller Humor, Action und Abenteuer für die ganze Familie. Die Animationen sind erste Klasse. Man merkt wie von Teil zu Teil Details im besser werden.(wie z.B das Fell oder Oberflächendetails ) Rein optisch braucht sich hier niemand hinter Disney oder Sony verstecken! Auch an der Kinokasse war der Film ein riesiger Erfolg. (Einspielergebnis weltweit:877,5 Millionen Dollar) Wie bereits die Vorgänger macht auch der 4. Teil richtig Spass und bringt gute Laune ins Haus. Ein wirklich sehr empfehlenswerter Kinohit. Für Fans ein absolutes Muss. Zur Blu ray: (da ich kein 3D Fernseher habe konnte ich mir nur die 2D Fassung ansehen) Das 2D Bild jedoch befindet sich auf Referenz Nivou! Gestochen scharfe Bilder von Anfang bis Ende. Jedes noch so kleien Detail ist zu sehen. Man kann wenn man will jedes einzelne Harr vom Manni zählen. Die Farben sind schön knackig und der Schärfewert ist perfekt! Hier gibt es wirklich absolut nichts zu beanstanden. Besser kann ein 2D Bild einfach nicht aussehen. Wie gesagt Referenz! Die Deutsche Tonspur liegt in DTS 5.1 vor. Und auch hier gibt es FAST nichts zu kritisieren. Der Ton ist schön räumlich und klar. Die Stimmen klingen sauber und sind immer bestens verständlich. Auch die Effekte kommen effektiv aus allen Boxen gefegt. Teilsweise sogar recht dynamisch und aggresiv. Auch der Subwoofer bekommt einiges zu tun wenn ihn auch nicht gerade Höchsleistungen abverlangt werden. Denn im Bassbereich fehlt vieleicht die letzte Prise Tiefgang. Denn an manchen Szenen hätte es ruhig etwas druckvoller sein können. Aber im großen und ganzen ist auch der Sound wirklich gut gelungen und kann überzeugen auch wenn er nicht im Referenzbereich spielt. Die Extras sind auch nett gestaltet.Wie z.B ausgestorbene Szenen,Musikvideos,Trailer usw... Da sind ein paar nette Features dabei. Die Erstauflage bekommt einen schönen Hochglanzpappschuber spendiert welcher sehr edel aussieht. Auch das FSK logo läßt sich ohne Probleme entfernen(daran könnte sich Disney mal ein Beispielt nehmen) Sogar die Amary Hülle verfügt über ein Wendecover welches das häßliche FSK Logo verschwinden lässt. Die Blu ray schneidet wirklich super ab und kann voll punkten. Dank eines sehr unterhaltsamen Films,einer Bildquallität der ersten Klasse und einem super Sound wird bestimmt jeder zum Ice Age fan! Kauftipp!
