 The love life of a woolly mammoth--handled with G-rated delicacy--drives this sequel to the first computer-animated romp in the age of prehistoric mammals. While the first Ice Age took a delightful premise and suffocated it with a formulaic plot--in which a mammoth named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano, Everyone Loves Raymond), a sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo, Moulin Rouge!), and a sabre-tooth tiger named Diego (Denis Leary, Rescue Me) helped an abandoned human infant return to its tribe (basically, Three Mammals and a Baby)--the sequel takes the now-familiar setting, gives it a shapeless, episodic storyline, and yet somehow becomes pretty darn entertaining. Faced with the threat of a flood from melting ice, our heroic trio are on the run to escape from their blossoming valley. On the way, they meet a female mammoth (Queen Latifah, Bringing Down the House) who thinks she's an opossum and get menaced by some freshly defrosted carnivo! rous fish. Add into the mix a herd of lava-worshipping mini-sloths, some Busby Berkeley-style vultures, and more ingenious slapstick featuring the acorn-crazed Scrat, and Ice Age: The Meltdown will amuse even jaded adults. -- Bret Fetzer Beyond Ice Age: The Meltdown

 Ice Age, The Meltdown April 24, 2009
Colou Myers (Ada, OK ----USA)
I received my video before the deadline. The DVD was exactly as promised. I would buy from this seller again.
Ice Age The Meltdown April 2, 2009
Patricia Cross (Canada)
I just love these ice age movies. Whoever created them had a sense of humor. Reminds me of the Flintstones. These shows are for all ages but some of the comments geared to adult understanding. You won't be disappointed if you have these series in your collection.
As Least As Good As The First One, And Probably Better February 22, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Although it doesn't say "2" on the title, this is the sequel to "Ice Age." It's just as good as the first movie, if not better. The graphics are so clean, with all the whites and the blues, the ice and skies, that it's stunning to view in many, many scenes, especially on Blu-Ray, which elevates the visuals even more!
Story-wise, what is a bit different from the first movie - and this was fine with me - was more lines and scenes featuring the two funniest characters: Scat, the squirrel and Sid The Sloth. The squirrel has no lines but is hilarious, as he was in the first film. Scat is still trying to capture or hold that elusive acorn and every quick scene with him is clever. He had far more screen time in this movie.
Meanwhile, John Leguizamo has almost all the funny lines in the feature story as "Sid." I lost track how many humorous things he said, but he just makes everyone laugh out loud during this film.
We also get a lot of adventure in here as the ice is melting in the area the animals live and the have to get out the valley before the dam breaks and they are all swept away in a huge flood. There is good suspense about that, enough to just about wear you out by the end. Add to the story a romance angle with a female mammoth (Ellie) and you have another great movie with a lot to offer. You can bet there will be another sequel and if its as good as th first two, it will be another winner.

On one hand, there are at least three points of negative contrast when compared to the first movie, while on the other there really are not attributes I can find in this movie which are superior to the first. Here are three to consider.
First, in the first movie, Syd the sloth is this lovable character who is also clumsy, creating many comic moments as he trips over this, falls into that and generally comes off in humorous manner as the physically weakest of the group. In Ice Age 2, this innocence is lost so that Syd's clumsiness is missing, while instead he becomes the butt of mean remarks and behavior of others.
Second, in the first movie, Scratch and the acorn have a humurous bit part, which is about where they should be. In Ice Age 2, they receive much more prominence, but the effect is often one of time "filler," not of particular importance to the plot and perhaps because the writers had trouble coming up with better plot themes.
Finally, in the first movie, Syd the sloth, Manny the mammoth, and eventually Diego the sabertooth, must overcome the adversary of a pack of other sabertooths. But these sabertooths are softened to the degree that they bumble somewhat, one of whom is even humorously timid at times. In Ice Age 2, by contrast, the main adversary comes in the form of dinosaur attack fish. These fish are more sinister and provide a darker edginess to the movie than Ice Age 1.
All in all, I rate it "three stars" despite the above because the movie still manages to be entertaining in many ways, with Queen Latifah adding a nice touch. It is difficult to imagine, however, how Ice Age 2 can be considered superior, or even equal, to Ice Age 1.
Cute story and terrific animation January 11, 2009

Every actor and actress in this movie did an amazing job. My favorite is Scrat- he never gives up.
