One of my biggest issues is the fact that they just...add more mammals to the lost world? Y'know...the LOST world. The whole point of the 3rd movie is that they can only get help from buck because he is the only mammal down there but now theres others and apparently you can be exiled??? It just doesn't make any sense alongside the 3rd movie at all

This movie is a complete and absolute embarrassment to the previous five. Yes, even _Collision Course_ was better. The only good thing about it is more Simon Pegg as Buck. The animation makes this look like a PS3 cutscene, the humor is awful, the new characters suck, and worst of all, NO SCRAT! It's no wonder why almost none of the original voice actors returned.

[@Virtual_Jester]

One problem with the movie I'm surprised you didn't mention is that the animals and plants in the underworld are way less intimidating in design than in Dawn of the Dinosaurs. For example, remember the legitimately terrifying horde of velociraptors that attack the main cast at the Plate of Woe? Or that giant venus flytrap that almost ate Manny and Diego? And Rudy, of course. They were all scary, at least when I was a young kid watching it for the first time. In this film however, Buck's green pterodactyl looks like a children's toy come to life. And all the other dinos look just as goofy. Also, Orson is not the first talking dinosaur they've met. Remember the "antagonists" of Collision Course?

[@PeaLord125]

Those "velociraptors" from Dawn of the Dinosaurs are actually Gunalong, an old relative of T.rex.

Much like Peaches where the hell was Rudy? He was the largest predator feared by every dinosaur which Buck lost his eye to and got his tooth knife from breaking one of Rudy's teeth.

None of the larger predator characters associated with the lost world neve show up which would have made the climax even cooler.

Something I noticed with the animation too is that it's not nearly as exaggerated. When Sid would run and scream, his arms were rubber banding and flailing, almost like an old fashioned cartoon. Not anywhere as close as Spinel, but it was more fluid and fun than this. The mammoths were slow, but still fluid. The possums were quick and all over the place but moving in a minky and natural way. Sid was...Sid haha but this animation is just so rigid and janky, it's restricted to a 2 inch box and it feels like it. I hate it, honestly.

Ice Age was in better hands with Blue Sky. And they made friggen’ Collision Course.

[@kieranstark7213]

*My thoughts on the Ice Ages* Ice Age - Definitely flawed, but the story in this movie is even better than the movie itself! (Could’ve been better, but otherwise, not bad!) The Meltdown - The first time the Ice Age franchise melted down (second if you count the video game version of the original limited to the GBA. Power to those that like the original whether it be the movie or the game, but while (like I said) I found the movie to be decent, I find the game more nostalgic (plus it does go for more pleasing looks for the characters in 32-bit 2D form because of the graphics in that game) than objectively well-made), but in a way (or few), it does work. As a video game (and as a short “No Time for Nuts”), much to pleasant surprise. Dawn of the Dinosaurs - The best Ice Age (and the best Blue Sky film! The Peanuts Movie, Robots, Rio and Spies in Disguise come closest.), and as for the game, well, with a good movie can sometimes come a good game like this which is a better remake for Ice Age 3 than TIAAOBW ever will be! Continental Drift - Where the franchise became broken beyond repair. Collision Course - Outside of the batshit insanity of the Scrat scenes in the first five movies, this is just too much cliched blandness to like (re: the “Anyone can find true love, even the most hatable of idiots who deserve death more than a significant other!” message (same as Strange Magic which George Lucas of all people gave us a year before the start of the Star Wars downfall with the Sequel Trilogy) if you get the reference), even by Blue Sky standards! Adventures of Buck Wild - So bad it gave people new appreciation for older Ice Age films (even the worst ones)!

But no, *THIS IS DISNEY!!* Compare that to Dreamworks. Dreamworks recently released a sequel to a sub-par Shrek spin-off that's 12 years old. Doesn't sound very promising does it? Well, what if I were to tell you that this sequel spin-off is way better than anything Disney put out in the last 5-10 years, has a deep, dark, 'harsh-but-true' message, is the pinnacle of modern animation (seriously it looks absolutely gorgeous), rivals some of Dreamworks' best movies to date (yes, I mean Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, HTTYD 1 and 2 and Prince of Egypt), *and* all on a lower budget than Disney's recent films? Disney, this is not ok. Lucasfilm, the MCU, your own animation studio (Lightyear and Strange World were flops), and now Blue Sky?

[@Nunnyahbizhen]

Your Disney nostalgia baiting of the Ice Age IP made Disney look like a questionable adult offering candy to an unsuspecting child. Guess that's pretty accurate nowadays 😅

[@JessGrembowski]

Breakneck pacing aside, I feel like they should have incorporated the possum brothers more by being foils to Buck's isolation. Like have scenes where they clearly compliment each other, tag-teaming baddies, working together and supporting each other if one or both of them fail. Have Buck try to show off to them how great he/his life is, and at first the brothers eat it up. But after a while we notice Buck doesn't really acknowledge team work efforts, refusing to collaborate in different situations, and it irks the brothers a bit. Then they go back to his bachelor pad and have fun for a little while, but the bros quickly realize just how empty/lonely buck's life is. Maybe instead of being an old team member, the skunk girl is like... another charismatic adventurer like buck who hangs around a different territory. And that's the territory the dino gang are messing with, so they all end up running into each other and she proposes they team up. The possum bros are down to help but Buck wants to do his own thing... but then they basically keep crossing paths and Buck finally agrees to tag along properly. Cue lessons about not only trusting others to share your burdens but also learning how to help others in return. Yadda yadda. Could still have ended with the possum Bros leaving the herd to live in the lost world but maybe they take a different territory that we would have seen along the way? I'm not super attached to this franchise btw, but I feel like we could have hit the same/similar story beats in a better way.... frustrating for sure. Feel bad for the team who were probably more concerned with finding new jobs than creating the most amazing movie/tv show pilot they've ever done.

Ice age ended at like the third movie in my mind. If you just pretend that all this shit afterwards didn’t exist than it ended on a decently high note as a fun family trilogy from my childhood!

two things. 1) what's up with rendering? did they render the lighting properly?? I...is it supposed to look like this?? 2) what's with Ice age desperately wanting to give literally every character a girlfriend??!

Those aren't dinosaurs, mate. Those are abominations. Also, if the minions are "velociraptors," then their boss is a "protoceratops." Guess what two dinosaurs have been discovered fossilized mid-fight on Mongolia.

I watched this movie recently... I noticed that when Buck pulls out the Rex's sore tooth, theres a continuity error. When they try to wake her up again, the tooth is back in her mouth again .😐

[@TheFlyfly]

i loved it when Buck said "It's time to get buck wild" and then proceeded to buck all over the place! That single line caused the batch of innocent orphans i was storing in my basement at the time to instantly stand up, clapping at supersonic speeds. Truly the pinnacle of modern animation, and some of the best writing I've seen in years!

This movie is terrible cause the animations for this movie look bad, and the voice actors were changed which made it more worst.

[@Zeder95]

Crash and Eddie had the same problem in Ice Age 4 an 5 that Patrick had in the newer spongebob episodes: They became so exaggeratedly dumb to a point where it doesn't feel funny anymore, just annoying. In Ice Age 2 and 3 they were ok and funny, but in 4 and 5 it feels like at no point the movie takes them serious, because even in scenes of danger/natural distaster/threat they kind of take away the tension/seriousness of the moment with their sillyness. In 2 and 3, they atleast had some more serious moments and contributed to the plot. It kind of ruins the feeling of a serious threat (like the asteroid heading towards earth in 5) when the comic relief characters are just joking around even in more emotional/threatening moments. Sid has the same problem in 5 when it feels like the movie just constantly makes fun of him.

Ice Age is the new "Land Before Time" with an extra step, besides an inundation of sequels, and now Ice Age has an spinoff. This basically Disney's version of the Minions, of giving the comedy relief characters their own film, cheap humour, equally cheap animation, by the numbers plot, and child friendly imagery, it's a total cop-out of what Ice Age use to be. This might actually be worse than Continental Drift, at least with that film there as some effort, Disney was gambling on nostalgia, despite making this for the current generation, this is just embarassing.

[@tanandalynch9441]

The other actors dodged a bullet. Poor Simon. This movie makes the M. Night ATLA film seem good. It takes a lot of effort to be worse than that movie.

I feel like the first Ice Age movies had humor that all ages could enjoy, but only 10 minutes into the spin-off I could tell it’s humor and bad animation was marketed to little kids who wouldn’t know the difference. It would’ve been nicer if Disney tried appealing to Ice Ages’ original audience, who was probably more excited for the spin off anyway. I know it’s meant for a younger audience, but I hate to see how it devolved so much.

[@toonitedytp4194]

One thing I noticed when Crash and Eddie say that one dinosaur they’re on is allergic to opossums was never mentioned or shown in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. All they did with that dinosaur was to escape another by referencing Fred Flintstone’s sliding and saying his catch phrase, “Yabba Dabba Doo!”

[@pinkaxol8015]

I was cautiously optimistic for this film. What a naive fool I was! This was unbelievable painful to get to the end of this. I liked the previous five films and this ruins the great streak. I also really hate orson. He was very annoying and his dialogue sounds like a three year old wrote it. When I finally reached the end of the film, all I had to say was " that was the worst thing I have ever seen" disney you corporate jerks. You should have never defiled blue sky's graves.

[@bighand1530]

I can more or less agree

[@KHMaggot67]

“Deformed more and more each year” is scarily accurate. The first Ice Age was unimpressive both in the technological and story sense. But the voice actors saved it with their talent and quipy comedic timing. Things got bleaker and bleaker with each installment, and I didn’t even know this existed until the video. Shows that there was no marketing or interest and I’m praying they’ll take a few years before they thaw the series back out with fresh ideas. Having humans involved in a film again (now that they’re easier to model) may be a step in the right direction.

[@PonandCon9025]

The series should've ended with Continental Drift, or even Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It only went downhill after that.

[@LordBumblebee1238]

I feel like the Raptors getting interested by fire is a reference to the Scorpios Rex from Camp Cretaceous, except it made sense cause it was the first hybrid dinosaur made while also having some problems with it, like going from passive to aggressive in an instant or getting distracted by heat, which includes fire

[@briannaabrego115]

I just really wanna know where this “movie” sits in the Ice Age storyline bc it’s extremely confusing. Like “uber tracker” is a callback to the first movie and Diego’s personality matches up with how he was then, but Crash, Eddie, and Ellie didn’t exist until the second movie, and they didn’t meet Buck until the third movie where Manny and Ellie also had Peaches, then in the fourth movie Diego meets Shira and they become mates, and correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there a callback to Buck having a “daughter” that’s like a pumpkin or something, which wouldn’t have happened until the fifth movie and that’s also where Sid meets his mate and Peaches is getting ready to go off on her own with her mate… So Peaches I can understand being gone but there’s no mention at all of her even existing which wouldn’t fit Manny’s overprotective attitude they built up and Diego and Sid seem single since there’s no mention of Shira or Brooke (had to google her name) at all, and their all personalities have reverted back to the ones they had in the original movies they appeared in so like, where is this supposed to fall in the storyline? I know I’m thinking way too deep into something clearly made more very young kids but I need that sweet, sweet lore.

I actually remember trying to watch this and got about near the ending before I got so bored of it and completely shut it off until I decided to try and finish it, like a day later if memory serves me correctly lol Also man, the movie poster on D+ actually looks like it was done by BlueSky but when they were shut down Disney was like "Well that's too bad because we'll keep it anyways" as well as the fact that the teaser animation was seemingly done by BlueSky and would've been a lot more impressive looking and presumably with better writing and voice acting as well, even if it didn't stay as a series and was just a spin off movie, but I guess we just don't live in that timeline lol

[@thedeutschman9905]

Something else that is insulting is that Disney posted on their Twitter ice age characters with captions of “coolest cast in history” acting as if ice age was a franchise that they created, not even acknowledging Blue Sky or even 20th century fox. That’s what bothers me about the Disney intro, it’s like they’re acting like they created ice age instead of blue sky. Disney doesn’t value any fox properties as creative works of art, only as means to boost profits.
