Scott's Review:
3.5 out of 5 stars on December 14, 2002

This ain't your Toy Story. That said, it's really rather funny. The animation is probably really good, but it manages to be a bit out-classed by some other CGI type movies that have come out lately. Then again, I've probably just reached saturation point with being impressed by CGI.

It tells a simple enough story of a few animals trying to return a human baby to its tribe some 20,000 years ago. Much of the humor is the animals poking fun of their place in nature and the evolutionary chain.

Near the end of the flick it attempts to get a little overly emotional. It's really a minor quibble, and watching the movie just for all of the bits involving Scrat's character, a raccoon, and the Dodo's is quite worth it. There's some very funny stuff.
