For some reason I like this one more than the first one because I loved the characters within it. Also, there are more characters involved and is in my opinion more of a deep story than the previous one. To me, this film resembles a lot from Shrek 2 because Manny has a similar sort of personality as Shrek. They both appear grumpy and miserable but once you get to know who they really are they both have a big heart and a very emotional side. I find Sid very funny as usual and at the same time a very irritating character in a good way of course. He is a lot like Donkey because of the sweet and kind attitude and particularly how annoying Sid is with Manny just like Donkey is with Shrek. I think it would be pretty funny to see Sid and Donkey in a film together as it would be for Manny and Shrek. It was really cleverly done as far as the jokes are concerned which was so awesome about this film. I love John Leguizamo's voice because he talks in a duck-like lisp with Sid. His voice connects perfectly with Sid's character. John truly has one of the wierdest voices that I have ever heard.
Ray Romano and Denis Leary make a fantastic return as Mammoth Manny and Sabre-Tooth tiger Diego. New characters Mammoth (self-called) Ellie who is voiced by Queen Latifah typically. Her two menacing possum "brothers" Crash and Eddie who are voiced by Seann William Scott and Josh Peck. I think Crash is a really character for Seann because Crash is a real troublemaker which is what Seann is like in American Pie trilogy and Road Trip. When Crash calls Manny a "pervert" that is something that Seann William Scott would say. The script was good but I did think that it was a very predictable story.
It is like I sort of knew what was going to happen even before I saw the film for the first time and also while I was watching it at the cinema in 2006. It is better than the first film in my opinion even though I do still really like the first one a lot. My second favourite animated film of 2006 after Monster House and it is one of the funniest films of 2006 and one of the funniest animated films of all time too. It is a bit overrated but it is one of the funniest animated film of all time.
