Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
Dir: Carlos Saldanha
2006
**
Unfortunately, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown is an irritatingly inferior sequel. The original Ice Age was fresh and exciting, the follow up is a cliche-ridden and rather annoying spiral of silly action over decent story. The character development of the first film takes 2 steps back and the relationships and conversations between the characters become quite tedious. One minute they're friends, the next minute they're not friends....continue ad infinitum (ad nauseum). The only redeeming feature is Scrat and his little slap-stick adventures, although there isn't enough of him to save the film.
