Ice Age: Continental Drift

In this fourth instalment of this hilarious series, new characters are introduced.

The humour does lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but it still offers some wholesome fun for the entire family.

The plot: Scrat's continuous pursuit of the ever elusive acorn causes a massive seismic schisms of the landmasses.Manny is marooned on an iceberg and is seperated from his wife and daughter. As they drift along they encounter the maniacal Captain Gutt and his motley pirate crew of animals who are fleeing the splitting of the continents. Manny's sole aim is to get back to his family, whatever it takes.

The pure nuttiness of what's on the screen makes up for the somewhat weak plot and episodic feel of the action.
Sid the goofy, buck-toothed Sloth remains my favourite character.

Scrat's show-stopper finale is worth the price of the admission ticket alone. We give it a 4 thumbs up!
