Everybody's a critic: 'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown'

Four stars (out of four)

This flick is definitely worth seeing. Anyone who has good memories of the old-fashioned Disney cartoons they watched as a child will enjoy this movie.

It is about a group of animals who suddenly find out their world is coming to an end and they are forced to evacuate their present homes quickly. It has all the main ingredients of suspense, laughs and even a little touch of romance. The entire cast deals with a lot of the same problems that we humans would go through if it was our world that was melting. We would have to stick together in order to survive just as they did.

The story line is a no-brainer to follow. Everyone in the theater from the oldest to the youngest laughed out loud throughout the entire film.

Four stars (out of four)

I really enjoyed this movie. It was an old-fashioned cartoon that almost any age will enjoy.

The story line is about all the animals finding out that their world is melting and that they have to make a quick escape. It deals with a lot of the problems we as humans would face if it was our world that was coming to an end. The characters' personalities and problems remind me of some we would encounter.

It has a lot of humorous scenes, and there was a lot of laughing in the theater. It was definitely a refreshing flick to see, and I must say it was nice to sit and watch it and know everyone watching with you was amused and not embarrassed by what was on the screen. This is not the case with most modern-day movies. I think our producers need to go back to the old ways and give us more lighthearted entertainment.
