When Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Manny the mammoth (ringleader Ray Romano) join forces to migrate and return a human baby to its people the unlikely heroes also have to battle an ice age. En route the three animated cuties overcome their own instincts and issues toward each other to become a mismatched family. The little part rat/part squirrel character (Leguizamo) will leave you tickled. Fox does good in this computer animated effort is up to par with Disney’s “Monsters Inc.”, blows past their “Anastasia” set this time in the yet to be explored Ice Age. Sort of a geography lesson on a wee folk scale minus a ground-breaking script but a lot of energetic gags. Just look who the voices are!
