Editorial Review:
They came... they thawed... they conquered the hearts of audiences everywhere in the coolest animated adventure of all time! Heading south to avoid a bad case of global frostbite, a group of migrating misfit creatures embark on a hilarious quest to reunite a human baby with his tribe. Featuring an all-star voice cast, including Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary, ICE AGE is "a pure delight" (New York Daily News) for all ages!
Description of Ice Age (2-Disc Special Edition):
Just as A Bug's Life was a computer-animated comedy inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai, the funny and often enthralling Ice Age is a digital re-imagining of the Western Three Godfathers. The heroes of this unofficial remake (set 20,000 years ago, during the titular Paleolithic era) are a taciturn mastodon named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano), an annoying sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo), and a duplicitous saber-toothed tiger, Diego (Denis Leary). The unlikely team encounters a dying, human mother who relinquishes her chirpy toddler to the care of these critters. Hoping, against all odds, to return the little guy to his migrating tribe, Manfred and his associates need to establish trust among themselves, not an easy thing in a harsh world of predators, prey, and pushy glaciers. Audiences that have become accustomed to the rounded, polished, storybook look of Pixar's house brand of computer animation (Monsters, Inc.) will find the blunt edges and chilly brilliance of Ice Age--evoking the harsh, dangerous environment of a frozen world--a wholly different, and equally pleasing, trip. Recommended for ages 4 and up. --Tom Keogh
Ice Age (2-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
Blu Ice 
2008-11-22 - Ice age is fun film for all ages but playing this on a Playstation 3 hook up to a 42 flat toshiba at 1080p that is hook up to a 7.1 Yamaha (140w)to Polks all the way around is god like ... buy it watch it take a nap
Sentimental favorite 
2008-09-27 - "Ice Age" is one of those movies you think you would never wind up loving. It's a fairly simple idea, a buddy movie, that has done plenty of times before. And yet it is pulled off with such heart and purity that I can't resist its charm. The aforementioned simple storyline is yet a good one that relies on a tried-and-true formula, and the perfect casting and humor makes this work. There is plenty of sass and humor, all kept relatively as prehistoric as this type of film could get without falling on lame pop culture references. The CGI is still one of my favorites--it's meant to look cartooney and the effect is marvelous. Yes, there are plenty of cynics against this, but to the right audience this provides plenty of laughs, lots of heart, and even a few shed tears.
it was garbage 
2008-09-22 - the only good thing about the movie was i got it. it had food on it and obvoisly would not play. it also had a crack in it and i basically had to throw it in the garbage. it a shame people try to sell products without knowing what condition they are in first.
Fun movie
2008-08-17 - My 2.5 yr old son loves this movie.
I did have some trouble with the actual dvd but amazon was great replacing it.
Ice age, not so cool edition
2008-07-22 - If you have the super cool edition on DVD and a good upconversion DVD player, keep it. Picture quality not worth the upgrade. The movie itself is great. Very funny/entertaining.
