THE PLOT THUS FAR
When Sid accidentally destroys Manny’s heirloom Christmas rock and ends up on Santa’s naughty list, he leads a hilarious quest to the North Pole to make things right and ends up making things much worse. Now it’s up to Manny and his prehistoric posse to band together and save Christmas for the entire world.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
Manny, Sid, Diego are all preparing for the upcoming holiday. When Sid destroys Manny’s Christmas Rock that has been passed down from generation to generation Manny tells him he’s now on Santa’s naughty list and he won’t get Christmas. This devastates Sid and Peaches convinces him he should go to the North Pole to talk to Santa. So, Sid, Peach, Crash, and Eddie set out together following the Northern Lights to Santa’s house. Along the way they meet a flying reindeer and an army of mini-sloths, but their planned meeting with Santa doesn’t quite go the way as planned and Christmas could be ruined for everyone.
There are some things that completely don’t make any sense such as how a frozen star can destroy a three-ton granite rock or why two adult wooly mammoths aren’t able to pull a giant sled. Also, Santa isn’t portrayed as his usual jolly self and though he makes toys for children, he’s a bit conceited. For instance, he enjoys singing songs about himself and takes a little too much glee in creating the naughty list. He also gets angry rather easily and isn’t at all optimistic. My favorite parts of the movie were the scenes with the mini-sloths and all the scenes with Scrat.
The Blu-Ray comes with a DVD and Digital Copy too. There’s a sneak peek for this summer’s upcoming “Ice Age: Continental Drift”. Plus, you get a music video that’s also available on the DVD portion. The A/V Quality is pretty strong with a DTS-HD 5.1 master audio track and well-supported 1080p transfer with an insanely high bitrate. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase.
RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW!
