The one saving grace for the franchise is Scrat. Hopefully the series gets better, as this first installment just doesn't hold up to animated standards that have been set by recent franchises like 'Shrek' and 'Madagascar.' Still though, kids will love it(Grant dug it!), and with movies like this, that is all that really matters. The voices are meh, just ok as Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary lead the cast. Now I have yet to watch part 2, but I did see part 3 in the theater and thought it was an improvement. He is pretty darn funny, and in my opinion the sole reason to watch this cartoon. He just makes weird noises, and his only goal in life is to get an acorn. He's half rat, and half squirrel, and doesn't talk. The voices are 'meh, just ok' as Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary lead the cast. About some ice age misfits trying to save a human infant and all the mishaps that get in the way on their adventure.

The characters are still borderline boring, the animation weak, and the story is pretty weak also.

Rewatching it, I found not much has changed in my opinion. Everyone else seems to enjoy it, but I find it kind of boring and the animation just not that great compared to other movies. I gotta say when this first came out, I didn't care for it at all.
