Full review

Not only is this fun for the younger generation to watch and laugh but even the older audience raise a smile. I would happily watch this more then once and recommend it to all children and even some adults.

Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat they are all back for their second adventure.

Manny may be ready to start a family, but unfortunately nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny thinks he may be the last one. Until he miraculously finds Ellie (voiced by Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world. There is one problem, they cannot stand each other. Ellie also thinks she's a possum as she has grown up with her two possum "brothers" Crash and Eddie (voiced by Seann William Scott and Josh Peck), a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky, loud-mouthed troublemakers.

Manny, Sid, and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate has one major drawback and the waters are about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most unlikely family as they embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape so save themselves.

The features on the second disc are Multi-angle animation comparisons, Scrat's breaking story, Scrat news report, Scrat from head to toe, Music video from Lee Ryan, Outtake prank, Making A Scene' featurette, Crash and Eddie stunts.

Not only is this fun for the younger generation to watch and even the older audience raise a smile. I would happily watch this more then once and recommend it to all children and even some adults. This film had me laughing from start to finish.
