Ice Age (2002)
7/10
Nostalgic and sweet
17 December 2021
It's hard to believe this movie is almost 20 years old. We would watch it whenever we went over to a certain family friend's house, as I think it was the only kid's movie he owned. That wonderful friend is dead now, so I guess this movie holds a special place for me.

Is it stupid sometimes? Yes. Is the humor a bit cringey sometimes? Yes. But this is a movie about feeling lost and out of place. Each of the characters is lonely, in their way. 3 band together to make sure 1 no longer has to be lonely, and along the way, they become a 'herd'.

Manny's eyes are what make it so amazing; his eyes when he silently looks at the human mother, asking him to save her baby. Manny's eyes when he recalls his past. 😭

There's a lot to love about this movie if you look deep enough, and a lot to learn about family. And I've always loved woolly mammoths!
