Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Well, judging from what you see in my blog, I think its pretty obvious to you (if you areĀ regular reader) that I don’t really watch animated films, so this is one in a very long time indeed. Well, I suppose I don’t expect it to be deep, sophisticated or philosophical in any case. It’s more for enjoyment and laughter.
Anyway, as I had not watched the prequels, I have no idea about the various main characters in the show prior to this, so there is nothing much I can comment on. Well, it turns out that these buncha animals in a herd are living together, and Diego, a tiger, has recently lost passion and wants to seek adventures, while Sid (whatever animal he is) feels kind of left out, as the 2 mammoths are going to have a baby of their own and kinda focus more attention on that.
So it happens that Sid accidentally stumbles upon 3 eggs that he carried home (mistaking that they were abandoned). That wasn’t exactly a smart move as they hatched into 3 baby T-rexes. Even at this age, they already pose a danger to the small animals in the herd, haha. When the mama T-rex comes scouring for her babies, Sid was caught too. The rest of the herd went after to try to rescue him, and they discovered a whole new dinosaur world beneath the ice they had been living on. Well, now the mammoths (which originally are somewhat largest) are so puny in comparison. Down there, they meet a swashbuckling weasel who calls himself Buck who lead them on their greatest adventure to rescue Sid, coming face to face with a great white beast that they call Rudy, something which is even larger than the T-rex.
There are quite a large number of jokes and comical elements in the show, which I think will suit well for the target audience and age group. There are a large number of families watching when I did, and imagine the giggles and small talks all the little kids make. Well… they are pardoned. Young kids are adorable. I only hate idiots who behave moronically and turn out to be a disturbance.
Pretty average show, great for laughs and relaxation though. A pity didn’t watch it in 3D projection.
