Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Ice Age 3)
The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters Ice Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown are back, on an incredible adventure... for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Diego the sabre-toothed tiger wonders if he's growing too "soft" hanging with his pals and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna, run amuck, and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

Ice Age 3 -Fantastic ! - tomdisc
My wife and I have now seen all three episodes of the Ice Age franchise, and this by far was the most enjoyable. When DVD disc arrived it said 94 minutes on it. Those ninety-four minutes went past so fast for both of us. We actually felt like we part of the story. The animation was tops in my opinion-fur looked like fur and skin looked like skin. A throughly enjoyable time can be expected if you view this.My favorite of the series and I liked the first two alot - Survivor
I love how they not only have Scrat as a fantastically funny short before the movie but also how they manage to integrate him into part of the plot both before and after, and in this movie, even more. I look forward to seeing his troubles and travails to get me laughing even before the movie starts. I think most of us feel the same about him and probably laugh because he reminds us of ourselves. The poor beaten down Squirrel that only wants to have a bit of his favorite food and never manages to get it.
As for the plot of this movie, the scenery "down below" was beautiful, magnificent. The new character Buck was really well done and the love that the gruff T. Rex shows to Manny, who tried rearing her babies as his own, is a nice touch. Poor Manny.
All the Ice Age movies are a hit for both adults and children alike.Funny Slapstick Animated Family Cartoon - grantalias
My kids really liked and I though better than the second one and as good as the first Ice Age.
The character of Buck was also as funny as the squirrel from the first two.
I think my biggest problem with these films is my adult knowledge that a large number of the animals in the film are extinct and when they have kids you know they are not going to survive for ever.
