Predictably, if occasionally amusingly, the dimwitted but well-meaning Sid gets lost in this strange new land, at first as the adopted "mother" of three baby dinosaurs whose real momma T. Yeah, kind of like Ka-Zar's Savage Land from Marvel Comics. Along the way, a new aspect of the Ice Age world is uncovered as Sid finds an under-the-ice tropical hotspot where dinosaurs still reign supreme. Blue Sky Studios returns here to the glacial comfort of the series it began for Fox in 2002, further expanding on the family of mammoths Manny ( Ray Romano) and Ellie ( Queen Latifah), Sid the sloth ( John Leguizamo), Diego the cat ( Denis Leary), and the rest.
Shouldn't we be sucked in by the humor and action and characters of the film more than worrying about the minutiae of the Pleistocene era? You see where this is going. The point, of course, isn't how accurate a children's cartoon is in terms of paleontology (although why can't such a film be fun and scientifically accurate?), but rather that if this is the kind of thing that keeps coming to mind during a viewing of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs then maybe it's an indication that Fox has gone to the well one too many times with this particular franchise.
