Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
The second in the Ice Age series, this turns out to be another movie filled with humour. Great(read really funny) dialogues, pretty good story, and great animation.
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown has it all!
It starts where the the first movie left us, at the Ice Age. Only this time its the end of Ice Age. Its the end of Ice Age and all the animals must reach the end of the valley to a boat which will save them from the imminent flood.
The central character this time round is Manny the mammoth, who refuses to believe that he is the last of his species, accompanied by Elly, the mammoth who thinks that she is not a mammoth. Diego, The sabre toothed tiger, and Syd, the sloth, are somewhat sidekicks to Manny, but their well developed roles from the first movie is carried on.
Scrat, the nut obsessed squirrel, is also back with a lot more screen time than before. He makes his appearance 6-7 times in his never-ending quest to get the nut and inducing laughter everytime!
This movie adds to the ever growing list of animations i love, bettered only by Finding Nemo i believe.
Must see for all those who saw and loved Ice Age.
What to watch out for:everything!
What to ignore:the kids giggling in the seat next to you
Rating: 8.5/10
A few of my favourite dialogues from the movie:-
Eddie: What if we're the last animals left alive? We'll have to repopulate the earth.
Crash: How are we supposed to do that? Everyone here is either a dude or our sister.
Manfred: So, still think she's the girl for me?
Sid: Sure. She's tons of fun, and you're no fun at all. She completes you.
Sid: Maybe we could rapidly evolve into water creatures.
Diego: That's genius Sid.
Sid: Call me, Squid.
Sid: We're going to live.
[Water rises up to his ankles]
Sid: We're going to die
Manfred: Don't listen to him. Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape.
Fast Tony: Are you making an offer?
Ellie: [to Manny] You ain't repopulatin' the species TONIGHT, or any OTHER night.
Ellie: What about me is attractive?
Manfred: Your... butt?
Ellie: What about it?
Manfred: It's... big?
Ellie: [flattered] You're just saying that.
Manfred: No, I mean it. It's huge. Biggest darned butt I've ever seen.
Ellie: That is really sweet.
Sid: Campo de Sid. It means Camp of Sid.
Diego: Great. Now you're an idiot in TWO languages.
Mr. Start: Oy, this global warming is *killing* me!
Mrs. Start: Ugh, the Ice Age was too *cold*, the global warming is too hot, what will it take to make you happy? Aah!
[the ice that she is sitting on cracks and she falls into the water]
Mr. Start: Now *this* I like!
Ice Age 2 is not at good as its predecessor. I would not give it more than 5.5
To me, it is is not a big time entertainer.
