Our take on Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

The third Ice Age adventure, directed by Carlos Saldanha in 2009, reunites moody mammoth Manny, motor-mouthed sloth Sid and crafty saber-toothed tiger Diego as their world changes and heats up. This time the herd's routine is upended when they cross paths with new and decidedly unfriendly neighbors: dinosaurs. It's brisk, colorful family animation built around slapstick chases and the odd-couple chemistry the series is known for, aimed squarely at younger viewers with enough gentle warmth for parents watching along. Nobody comes to this expecting reinvention, and it doesn't try; it delivers familiar comfort-food comedy. A safe, cheerful pick for family movie night with small children.
