Ice Age: The Meltdown

Since it is Movie_Maven_Jr_Jr’s birthday tomorrow, she wanted to go to the movies today and see “G-Force” but, thankfully, she had already seen it and I was able to talk her into seeing the third installment of “Ice Age” which she also had already seen.

Going in with low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. I particularly loved Simon Pegg as Buck the Weasel (he makes a great Scotty in the new “Star Trek” as well) and the multitude of movie references and hilarious dialogue that made me laugh out loud on several occasions.

While not a huge fan of the franchise, I actually liked this one more than the first two, although I wanted (SPOILER) Diego to hold Peaches up at the end like in “The Lion King” for all to see.
