Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas (2011)

So much average

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's Christmas season for the Ice Age gang. Sid accidentally destroys Manny's heirloom Christmas rock. Manny lies to Sid that he's now on Santa's Naughty List. Sid seeks to go to the North Pole to convince Santa to take his name off the Naughty List. He's joined by Peaches, Crash, and Eddie. They fall off a cliff and rescued by flying reindeer Prancer. Manny, Diego, and Ellie set off to find them.It's an Ice Age thirty minute Christmas TV special. It is what one expects out of that. It's fine for little kids. Santa and his minions are not necessarily the happy, jolly group. Ice Age is not the greatest animation franchise but it does work for its level.

When Sid accidentally destroys Manny heirloom Christmas rock and ends up on Santa's naughty list, he leads a hilarious quest to the North Pole to make things right and ends up making things much worse. Now it's up to Manny and his prehistoric posse to band together and save Christmas for the entire world!This was really good short movie, there were very nice plot, which was very well writtenThey also had some very funny moment in this movie, which Jokes that to do work for both Adults and kids will laugh, The animation was very well made and creative and very fun to watch with the whole family

There was both Madagascar and Shrek Christmas episodes, and now Ice Age.Next year Ice Age is ten years old, as we met Manny, Diego, Scrat and on.It's just another feel good Christmas story, but better than nothing.After three Ice Age movies and some shorts, are Manny the mammoth and his friends back.This time Manny and his friends meets Santa, as Scrat chases his acorn as usual while picking up a spider along the way.Diego he gets his first song line along the way, and the new character are a smooth reindeer.Christmas will be saved again, but Scrat keeps on looking for his beloved acorn this coming summer.Buck from the third movie is not back in this episode, so maybe in next movie.It's only around 20 minutes, but worth it.This short is Annie Award nominated, and worth it.

This short animation is about a young mammoth going to the North Pole to search for Santa Claus because she wants to prove to her father that Santa Claus exists.Just as you think all tales about Christmas have been told, "Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" comes up with yet another idea regarding the festive season. The animation is fun and entertaining. The characters are cute as usual, and they are up to much merry, harmless mischiefs. The atmosphere of the animation is warm, positive and has a strong family theme. The ideas about how Christmas traditions come about in the Ice Age world is fun as well, making it a great film for children.
