Each of them cleverly conveys a set of different messages...
The much awaited Ice age 3, though not as brilliant as its predecessors, has its moments of sheer mirth....
As has been the modus operandi... this edition also introduces many new characters, while uniting us with the old ones....
The movie on a heavier note deals with hardships of single parenting, when Sid finds 3 egges and tries to build a family of his own....
I simply fell in love with the dino babies - "Rex, Sera & Chomper" from the moment they said "MAMMA" in chorus & rushed to hug Sid....
The playground scene was hilarious... where poor Sid, tries his best to control the naughty, hungry Dino hatchlings... who go around swallowing all the other babies...
Another scene which is a laugh riot is the one in which Sid, goes upto a bull and tries to milk it...
The angry bull charges at him... and Sid runs away screaming "I thought you were a woman!!!"
The woolley Mammoths also gave birth to their first baby- "Peaches" ... I could only say.... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...... sooooo cute... I wanted to cuddle her...
The first time Sid saw Peaches he exclaimed "It's a Boy!" Only to be interrupted by Diego, "That's her tail." Sid then says "It's a Girl!" (LOL!!!)
Another message comes through.... parents always try to do the best for their children, trying to give it all kinds of comfort... and cushioning its fall... but as Elle rightly says,"This is the world our baby's gonna grow up in, you can't change that..."
While children can just enjoy the wonderfully animated characters... Adults can dwell upon the the more serious undertones...
Friendship, is the string that binds the trilogy beautifully... Its about trust, sharing, space and being together through thick and thin... a point that today's generation often misses out on, while chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....!!
On the whole its funny and thought provoking, the movie has something for everyone...
A KODAK MOMENT!
