Watching (the first) Ice Age for the first time in a good 5 to 8 years and I forgot just how much of a good movie it is
We got:
• Accidental baby acquisition
• The fact that this lady, exhausted from running from a tiger and jumping off a waterfall, just sees this mammoth and decides, yes this is a safe thing to leave my child with
• Reluctant allies
• The dodo/melon scene
• The "send me on my way" scene(s)
• The entire "short cut" scene
• ... the evolution of sloths
• ... the baby, when seeing the spaceship in the ice, making the "live long and prosper" hand gesture
• ...Ice slides
• ... finding out what happened to Manny's family through cave paintings
• Lava scene
• "Villain" redemption through "crap now I care"
• Sid on skis
• Heroic self sacrifice
• Found (herd) family
