Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opens with the stitched-together prehistoric family about to become a biological one: Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) areexpecting a baby mammoth. Unfortunately, this makes Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) feel left out. Diego, who worries he's losing his edge, decides to head out on his own, while Sid adopts three suspiciously large eggs that he's found through a crack in the ice. Up to this point, the movie is perilously sappy - does anyone, particularly a kid, want to watch a kid's movie about parenthood and impending middle age? Fortunately, the eggs turn out to bedinosaur eggs from a pre-mammalian underworld, and when the mama T-Rex comes to rescue her rambunctious little ones, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs transforms into a delightful comic adventure.
