Ice Age

2002 liberal propaganda

Rating: 14/20 (Abbey: 19/20)

Plot: The Ice Age cometh, and all the animals are forced to goeth south. Diego, a saber-toothed tiger, succumbs to peer pressure and agrees to kill a human child in order to impress his friends. A surly wooly mammoth named Manny and Sid, a pea-brained sloth, decide to team up to protect the child and take him back to his father. Diego decides to "help," and along the way, as they battle the elements, the trio discover that they are all, to put it in contemporary terms, gay for each other. Meanwhile, Scrat the squirrel has all kinds of trouble with his nuts. Perhaps he needed a sack.

An obvious attempt by the liberal media to introduce the gay agenda to children. This cartoon has multiple gay relationships (all male) including gay rhinos and gay characters who have apparently adopted a child, and the film even builds to a rather awkward mammoth-on-tiger-on-sloth menage-a-trois. This is, of course, after proving that they can raise a child on their own. That this film was made during Bush's administration is unbelievable to me. You've also got all kinds of nutty environmental messages in this. Other than that, the characters are likable, the story has heart, and about half the animation is really top notch. Weather, water, and landscape looks absolutely terrific in this movie, but although the animals usually look ok (at times, suffering from that same rubberiness that the animals in Madagascar have), the people look really jacky. I also like the voice talents in this, a sort of who's-who of homosexual Hollywood. This was the second movie of a sort of double feature I watched with Abbey when she was sick. She also watched a creepy Barbie movie, but I tried to look away as much as possible and will not be reviewing that one.
