Ice Age: The Meltdown

What the **** were you all thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly better than the original. I know hot take but that’s just my opinion. The humour was much better in this film and the animation was more crisp. The characters have real emotional depth. Only characters I don’t like involve Crash and Eddie.

Introduced Crash and Eddie who probably came from hell

Loses some of the charm of the first one but still a fun time with these characters

Those times a phenomenal movie comes back for a sequel. And it is my favourite movie out of the whole franchise. You know, global warming is scary, especially that it can lead to a species extinctions & that us what Manny felt worried about - losing his species & family. Manny is also relatable since he can get annoyed by the hilarious Sid. This movie is also about discovering who you are when such as when Ellie the mammoth thought she was possum just like Crash & Eddie - Manny knew who she really was: a mammoth just like him. I love it when Manny knows he is not the only one when a big group of mammoths walk by them. Did you like the ending in which Scrat has a near death experience with Sid saving his life?

This was a surprisingly good sequel. I look forward to the next one.

The story is not as captivating as its predecessor but is somehow enough to keep the audience watching

All the other reviews are right. A step down from the first movie.

The first Ice Age is a classic, but the second movie was my favorite movie as a child. Watching it again has made me realize that I remembered every single event and scene as it played out as though I could play it in my own head. The movie is extraordinarily well-done and amps up the emotional undertones of Manny’s history from the first movie. With Will Arnett, Jay Leno, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, and of course, the amazing Queen Latifah joining the herd, the new characters were more than welcome to come aboard their crazy travels. The entire movie is exciting, hilarious, and can make you really tear up a time or two. And for a 2006 movie, the visuals were so excellently well-done.

Honestly the last ice age movie to stay at least somewhat true to it's heard like, nomadic feel. And the only Ice Age other than the original that I would consider watching. My one pet peeve with the movie is how they moved away from what animals would act like in the actual Ice Age and moved towards humanoid animals. Which in my opinion was the begging of the end for the series.
