Ice Age (2002)

"Ice Age" is a cute but marginal CGI cartoon about a bickering woolly mammoth and a sloth caring for a human toddler while finding his family. The animals fare way better than the humans, in animation and plot. The few sly jokes about evolution, spaceships and mortality are for adults, and will go over the heads of children. The poop jokes are entirely for children, and will bore adults. The star and saving grace of "Ice Age" is a mute, always perplexed primitive squirrel driven nuts by an acorn. I swear the whole film is filler built around him. Ray Romano stars, voicing a woolly mammoth. Far more advanced than Ray. C+
