2002's hit animation Ice Age is a very sweet film and one of the better CGI animations of the time. The idea that a Sabertooth Tiger, a Wooly Mammoth and a sloth find a lost baby and decide to return him to his tribe during the beginnings of the Ice Age is original and interesting and something that kids and parents watching with the kids could both enjoy. I like it because there weren't too many cliques and it wasn't too preachy, something many animations of the time suffered from. The occasional Scrat scenes (involving a Squirrel/Rat/Three stooges creature, obsessed with an acorn) intertwined with the main story were also welcome relief.
