I
would like to say something nicer about Ice Age, but
if you mixed Dinosaur and Antz, you still wouldn’t
have much of a movie. (Heck,
Fox may think “It’s like a mixture of Dinosaur and
Antz” is a pull quite in the making.)
Chris Wedge is wonderfully talented and the
film looks terrific, but… it just isn’t very interesting.
As Dinosaur proved, slow-moving animals trying
to get to safe land is a yawner, no matter who voices the
animals. And while
Dinosaur was timid on every level, Ice Age sets
you up for some of the wildness that made Shrek such
a hit. And then, it
plays it safe. Where
were the Fox-housed Farrelly Bros. to tell them to
get some giant woolly mammoth crap jokes in there?
It may not be high humor, but it would have gotten
me to shake the cobwebs off of my Diet Coke.
