Our take on Ice Age: Continental Drift
The fourth Ice Age outing, directed by Steve Martino in 2012, sends the familiar herd off on another animated adventure when their continent breaks apart and drifts away. Manny, Diego and Sid turn an iceberg into a makeshift ship, cross paths with strange sea creatures and tangle with pirates while a whole new world opens up around them. It's a family comedy that runs on slapstick, sight gags and the easy warmth of a group that feels like a chosen family. Expect broad laughs pitched at younger viewers and undemanding fun for the adults alongside them, rather than fresh territory for a long-running series.
