Just like Home Alone, Ice Age is another one of the perfect examples of a movie that's better off stand-alone instead of a franchise. But it was not only a good start for Blue Sky, it's also one of my favorite movies from them next to Peanuts. I know this is from the early 2000s and this is how the animation looked, but some of the animation can be dated. But it still looks good on its own. The rest of the film is fun to watch that's both funny and heartwarming, especially with Manny's connection to the baby. The story is solidly written. And there may be a few characters, but that's actually what the other films should've done. Add a few characters that feel relative to the plot and they can have good development. If you're in to get both a good laugh and something to feel, this is the kind of film for you. In fact, this is a good example of what a stand-alone film should've been.
