My Comments:
This is a funny movie, but isn't quite as good as the offerings from animation giants Pixar and DreamWorks. It's good, but not exceptionally so and the main characters with their celebrity voices are completely upstaged by a primitive rat/squirrel ancestor "Scrat," who has no lines and spends the whole movie twitching and grunting as he chases after acorns.
Luckily, the animators seem to be very much aware of "Scrat's" status as the star of the film, and have given him his very own short, "Gone Nutty."
