"Ice Age 2" review

Saw Ice Age 2. Going in here's how I felt: Didn't love the first one - thought the story was really thin, but it had some great moments of animation. But left the theater feeling "eh" and haven't seen it since. So, I wasn't overly excited about seeing 2, but went nonetheless. And I gotta say... I really liked it. But again, it wasn't for the story. The story was simple - "lets travel from point A to point B". But what they did between those points was make a great cartoon. That's right. Not animated feature, but cartoon. There are some wonderful sequences of pantomime gag character animation that go one for quite some time. Cartoons. Not scripted dialogue - animator driven cartoon stuff. Gags. Really great animation. The story again, was alright, but there are gems of animation that are wonderful. Go see it!
