 "The adventure doesn't contain half the excitement of Balto, or quarter the fun of Toy Story 2."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
"Ice Age posits a heretofore unfathomable question: Is it possible for computer-generated characters to go through the motions?"
-- Robert Wilonsky, NEW TIMES
"... Ice Age treads predictably along familiar territory, making it a passable family film that won't win many fans over the age of 12."
-- Glenn Whipp, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
 "It’s a good thing that woolly mammoths are extinct, because this movie will have every kid in the schoolyard wishing for their very own."
-- Scott Weinberg, APOLLO GUIDE
"Dull and mechanical, kinda like a very goofy museum exhibit"
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"A Era do Gelo diverte, mas não convence. É um passatempo descompromissado – e só."
-- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
"... there's enough cool fun here to warm the hearts of animation enthusiasts of all ages."
-- Michael Tunison, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"... generically, forgettably pleasant from start to finish."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"It's a cool event for the whole family. Maybe not a classic, but a movie the kids will want to see over and over again."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"The animation in 'Ice Age' is definitely cool, but in terms of story and
characterization it's rather mushy, a prehistoric retread of 'Monsters,
Inc.'"
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"The film has too many spots where it's on slippery footing, but is acceptable entertainment for the entire family and one that's especially fit for the kiddies."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS
"It's a keeper."
-- Elias Savada, NITRATE ONLINE
"I'm not saying that Ice Age doesn't have some fairly pretty pictures, but there's not enough substance in the story to actually give them life."
-- Alex Sandell, JUICY CEREBELLUM

"These people wouldn't know subtle characterization if it put on a giant furry monster costume and then gave them a lapdance."
-- Widgett Walls, NEEDCOFFEE.COM
"At the same time touching, funny and breathtaking."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"The creative animation work may not look as fully 'rendered' as Pixar's industry standard, but it uses lighting effects and innovative backgrounds to an equally impressive degree."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
"Manfred, Sid, and Diego demonstrate the old Ice Age adage that a friend is someone who knows all your faults and likes you just the same."
-- Betty Jo Tucker, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS
"Ice Age is the first computer-generated feature cartoon to feel like other movies, and that makes for some glacial pacing early on."
-- Gary Thompson, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"The message is that even the most unlikely can link together to conquer all kinds of obstacles, whether they be of nature, of man or of one another."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"Delirious fun."
-- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®
"The path Ice Age follows most closely, though, is the one established by Warner Bros. giant Chuck Jones, who died a matter of weeks before the movie's release."
-- Steve Schneider, ORLANDO WEEKLY
"Director Chris Wedge and screenwriters Michael Berg, Michael J. Wilson and Peter Ackerman create some episodes that rival vintage Looney Tunes for the most creative mayhem in a brief amount of time."
-- James Sanford, JAMES SANFORD ON FILM
"While not quite "Shrek" or Monsters, Inc.", it's not too bad. It's worth taking the kids to."
-- Paul Salfen, SUPERCALA.COM

Avg. Rating: 7.1/10 |
"Produced by 20th Century Fox, Ice Age falls short of classic status. But it's one of the best such features not to wear the Disney or DreamWorks banner."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"As written by Michael Berg and Michael J. Wilson from a story by Wilson, this relentless, all-wise-guys-all-the-time approach tries way too hard and gets tiring in no time at all."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"... a visually pleasing, imaginative entertainment for the family audience."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"Vivid conception with amusing, witty stretches that offset the intervals of goo."
-- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY
"[D]espite its familiar subject matter, Ice Age is consistently amusing and engrossing ..."
-- Steven Rosen, DENVER POST
"Ice Age won't drop your jaw, but it will warm your heart, and I'm giving it a strong thumbs up."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
"On its icy face, the new film is a subzero version of Monsters, Inc., without the latter's imagination, visual charm or texture."
-- Carrie Rickey, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"Over the years, Hollywood has crafted a solid formula for successful animated movies, and Ice Age only improves on it, with terrific computer graphics, inventive action sequences and a droll sense of humor."
-- Bill Muller, ARIZONA REPUBLIC
"Mr. Wedge and Mr. Saldanha handle the mix of verbal jokes and slapstick well. Their film falters, however, in its adherence to the Disney philosophy of required poignancy, a salute that I'd hoped the movie would avoid."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"... a lesson in prehistoric hilarity."
-- Glenn Lovell, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

"There isn’t one moment in the film that surprises or delights."
-- Chuck Rudolph, MATINEE MAGAZINE
