If most of the summer movies are vanilla ice cream, then "Ice Age 3" is vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, and so on, "Flying Home" not only has chocolate syrup, but also has an attractive red Cherry. The film is not bad overall. Although it does not have the profound humanistic heritage of Pixar's animated films, Blue Sky Studio still guarantees a high level of laughter, and also adds some common funny ways in Hong Kong films, such as nonsensical, shit and so on. But the 3D version is always a marketing gimmick. The real effect is just a headache, and the Chinese dubbing, which is the least optimistic, adds a lot to the film.

This time, there are two main protagonists in the dinosaur world adventure, one is Sid the big-mouthed sloth we are most familiar with, and the other is Buck the one-eyed skunk who recently joined the film. And everything is caused by loneliness. Sid sees that his friend Manny will soon be able to live a happy and happy life as a family of three, so he is carried away by his fatherly feelings, and he hatches dinosaur eggs wholeheartedly, while the three The presence and sense of responsibility brought to Sid by the birth of the little guy has strengthened his responsibilities as a parent. This part is also the most tender part of the film. The weird effect of the three little bullies imitating Sid's every move makes people laugh, and the unprecedented authority and respect that Sid has gained from them has further expanded his self-confidence, so When the Tyrannosaurus Rex came to ask for his cub, Sid, who was cowardly and fearful in the past, did not hesitate to open his arms to protect his "child", even though he was not as big as the little Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The creation of the animation image of Blue Sky Studio is still very skillful. The little squirrel who played the gag in the three "Ice Age" films is a very typical example, but this time, the director's performance for the little squirrel is more interesting. , but also a whole female squirrel. Maybe it's because I watched too much "tragedy" of the squirrel and Hazelnut "just close to the horizon", and I couldn't bear to see the little squirrel being tortured by the director all the time, so this time I became immune to all the laughs created by the squirrel, except for being shocked by the mother squirrel. A swipe until its dew point, this time I really couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The skunk Buck, who appeared on the stage of "Ice Age" for the first time, is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the film. This brother gives people the feeling of a heroic spirit possessed by Mount Tai, but there are many problems on the mountain, moderate paranoia, using stones When using a mobile phone, pretend to call your girlfriend, and say that you don’t like it for a while; talk unreliable, pretend to be a professional to analyze the whereabouts of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is actually what he saw with his own eyes; act extremely crazy, feel like driving a pterosaur in a lava waterfall Do a high altitude dive. However, only extraordinary people achieve extraordinary things. Buck's wildness and meaninglessness are also its unique labels. When a narrow road meets, the brave wins; when the brave meets, the wise wins.

The Mannys didn't have a lot of scenes in this round, and the biggest contribution should be the cute little mammoth. If there is a sequel to the film, I think it should be the turn of the saber-toothed tiger Diego, and now it's the only thing that doesn't play well. Finally, I can't help but look forward to the release of "Flying House" in China. By the way, I like "Ice Age 3", which is still a good summer movie.
