movie review - Ice Age

This is an animated kid's movie set in the ice age. It features a mammoth, a giant sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger who band together to attempt the return of a lost human infant to its tribe.
I think this one is aimed at a particularly young crowd. There's a recurring bit about a squirrel with an acorn that's slapstick of the wile e. coyote variety, and the rest of the plot is about as timeworn and thin as it gets. Still, it's a gently amusing hour and change. The casting, I have to say, is great.
Recommended.
