Picturenose’s James Drew enjoys the third instalment of a much-loved animation franchise.Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
It took me completely unawares, did Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha's Ice Age (2002), not unlike falling in love with my dear departed Hélène, who first showed me the film.
Not normally being a huge fan of animated features, no matter how well drawn/'CGId' they are, I was struck by the bone-dry wit of the first instalment, which was perfectly complemented by hilarious characterizations, slap-stick set-pieces and, of course, Scrat (voiced by Chris Wedge).
For the uninitiated (shame on you), Scrat is the sabre-toothed squirrel constantly (and hilariously) seeking his acorn in the ice age tundra that forms the film's setting. Since part the first, Mammoth Manny (Ray Romano) has been the story's central character – initially joined by sabre-tooth tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo), the sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) saw Manny get hitched to Ellie (Queen Latifah) and her two ne'er-do-well possums, Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck).
