Manny, Sid and Diego are back in another icy adventure this summer as they stumble upon a hidden prehistoric world right beneath their feet.
Manny and his wife Ellie are preparing for the anticipated arrival of their baby mammoth and Sid decides he wants a family of his own so when he comes across three seemingly abandoned eggs he is quick to take them home and play the role of their new mum.
Our motley crew of friends are in for a shock when the eggs hatch though, as they turn out to be the babies of a very large and not very friendly dinosaur who reclaims her offspring and takes them back to her prehistoric world along with Sid the Sloth.
Naturally Manny and Diego have to rescue their friend and therefore embark on a dangerous adventure in unfamiliar territory.
Ice Age 3 is an entertaining film with a good storyline however, while it’s nice to see the trio return, it does seem to be getting a bit old now and you get the feeling there is only so much that can be done with the characters and the setting.
The 3D element feels slightly pointless as well and seems to be an unnecessary way to get more money out of the audience, which is slightly annoying.
Overall, Ice Age 3 is an enjoyable film and will be a hit with the kids but, it definitely won’t live up to the first two films.
