There's enough classically derived Road Runner-type fun to keep most family audiences happy. But the characters betray their contrivance.

In all, we get a visually crisp, though generally tame, offering.

Real Ice Ages were no jokes. They lasted about 100,000 years and froze most life on the planet. But as long as Leguizamo's Sid and Wedge's Scrat are on screen, this one warms you with laughter.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

From the squirrel's mad, droopy eyes, to the rumba rhythms of Manny's rear end, to the way Diego settles into sleep like a tabby, these creatures are alive enough to love, and lament.
Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly

It's simply a fun, silly comedy, but then what's wrong with that?
