The animals of the Ice Age era go on another adventure in
this fifth film of the animation franchise.
Scrat's epic pursuit of his elusive acorn catapults him
outside of Earth, where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that
transform and threaten the planet. To save themselves from peril, Manny, Sid,
Diego, and the rest of the herd leave their home and embark on a quest full of
thrills and spills, highs and lows, laughter and adventure while traveling to
exotic new lands and encountering a host of colorful new characters.
This time, the lovable sabre-tooth squirrel, Scrat, is the
catalyst for the main events of the movie, when his relentless pursuit of the
perfect acorn catapults him into outer space. There, he unwittingly sets of a
string of events leading to the formation of the solar system, as well a
wreaking havoc down on Earth with a series of meteor showers. In order to save
themselves, Sid, Manny, and Diego leave their home to find safety elsewhere –
and in doing so, meet a whole host of new characters.
In Ice Age: Collision Course, Scrat follows his precious
acorn out of Earth's orbit. This causes all sorts of natural catastrophes that
threaten to destroy everyone back on Earth. Once more, Manny, Sid, Diego, and
friends unite to lead their herd to safety. Along the way, they encounter many
new characters.
The series of Ice Age movies production are as below:
- Ice Age (2002)
- Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)
- Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)
- Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)
- Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) - Latest
As always, this Ice Age trailer brings the laughs; mainly thanks to Scrat, who is as neurotic and adorable as always, but also thanks to the trio of Manny, Sid and Diego who are just as watchable as ever. 20th Century and Blue Sky always seem to be the unsung heroes of animation; dwarfed by Disney and Pixar, but there’s plenty of love out there for their movies and Collision Course looks like it will be equally as fun as all the others.
ReplyDeleteKind of looking forward to this. I loved Simon Pegg's character from the third film and at least half of the films in this series are good.
Ice Age doesn’t make much of an effort to appeal to adults, which is probably why these movies aren’t surrounded by nearly as much hype as Pixar or Disney’s animated features. In fact, the kids who made the first film an out-of-the-box hit have probably outgrown the series by now. But that isn’t a problem for Fox, since there’s always a new generation of children just waiting to fall in love with these hijinks-prone prehistoric mammals.
ReplyDeleteThese films have made hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's likely kids, tweens, and nostalgic teens will want to see this latest entry in the Ice Age franchise.
ReplyDeleteSome of you out there might be wondering why these Ice Age movies keep getting produced and keep enjoying theatrical releases rather than taking a step back onto the home video market like so many other animated franchises that came before it.
As much as we should be paying attention to the story proper for Ice Age: Collision Course, we can't help but wonder what further trouble Scrat is going to cause throughout the latest film in the canon.
