My kids love the Ice Age movies so when we were sent Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, they couldn’t wait to tear into it! With voices by Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, and Denis Leary, this is a movie parents will also enjoy. Here’s the official synopsis:

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) are expecting 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 be dinosaur 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. The emotional side of the Ice Age movies has always been a tad mawkish, so it’s smart that Dawn of the Dinosaurs emphasizes physical comedy. Clearly, the animators have been inspired by a wild fusion of Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton. The character of Scratte, with his non-verbal, monomaniacal efforts to get that last acorn (doubled in this movie with the addition of a female counterpart), is only the most obvious reflection of this sensibility. The animators have great fun with the differences in scale between the mammals and the dinosaurs, and the introduction of a deranged Australian weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) pushes everything into Loony-Tune territory. Let Pixar tug at our heartstrings; Ice Age aims to tickle the funny bone and does a fine job of it. –Bret Fetzer

    I have never seen Ice Age, but based on your synopsis, we like Dennis Leery and his character Diego sounds like it would be one of our favorites. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

    Well, I have to say, they have only gotten better with each Ice Age. Normally, you would expect the third one to be not as good, but OH MY, was it ever. So much that we rented last night, my husband was in a BAD mood, McDonald’s forgot our daughters food and he had to go back…So when Scrat came on, the nut adventure is great, he heard the song….it was better mood here we come. From then on our kids and us could not stop laughing. We got to the green cavern and I can’t tell it’s real name all we can remember is …smelly butt crack! We lost it..We were gone from there. So I would have to say all the characters are our favorites, it took them all to make it soooooooooooo good!
