It's not that it's not fun, in fact, some small plots, small characters, and small dialogues are still very funny; but I think it tells some realistic and tragic content -
squirrels, pine cones and female squirrels:
the world before the squirrel was Very simple, his only pursuit (or interest) is pine cones; after the emergence of female squirrels (with love), pine cones (interest) were forgotten, but later family life became more and more mediocre, so he couldn't help nostalgic again. Pine cones are good. Interest is for one person, love is for two people, and the squirrel's world has lost its pure pursuit of happiness.
Tiger:
I was so majestic when I was young, it was hard to accept the fact that I was getting old. Do you feel powerless to live an adventurous life? It's not that he didn't think about becoming a legend in the end, but the whole film gave the answer in his very different ending choices from the weasel.
Weasel:
The weasel mentioned above is a new character that only appeared in this episode. He also yearns for ordinary comfort, but in the end he chooses to stay alone in a world that does not belong to him, because only in such a bad living condition can he find a reason to keep fighting.
Kaise:
He is simple-minded and long-winded, thinking that life is just like friends being together all the time. However, everyone is growing up, Mammoth has a new family and a baby, and he feels lost that he is no longer valued. The story arranges an optimistic plot, so that everyone will never leave him; in real life, when we gradually grow up, family and career have become the main line of life, is the former friendship still so important?
But in general, I didn't expect Ice Age 3 to say so much about family, love, aging, friendship, value.... Or maybe I'm really old. The story of Su Shi and Foyin says, "There is a Buddha in my heart, and everyone is a Buddha", 55555.
