Yes this is a very simple, predictable movie with a story that we have seen before. However I loved this movie! The animation is colorful, bright, and well done. The voice cast was excellent and funny which really gave this movie a huge boost. The music was really nice and catchy. The dialogue was nice and the story to be honest wasn't that bad but it stop the movie from reaching full flight. Director Carlos Saldanha has really improved his game here since his last animated effort Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. This is just as good as the first Ice Age and it's fun for all the ages.
