From the huge success of the first episode, I think they're taking sequels seriously, which makes the Ice Age sequel unlike any other smash hit movie franchise. The theme of the entire "Ice Age" is very rigorous: from friendship to love to family, in the fourth episode, Peach has also become a TEENAGER, so family education is naturally put on the table.
But that's just the least fun part of the whole series.
What distinguishes Blue Sky Studios from Disney or PIXAR is the squirrel, or rather, the joke in it that is close to adult thinking, which makes Ice Age closer to Madagascar than to the Disney animation for children (although Disney released Some of the series are very, very good, such as the princess series that are still classic to this day, from Snow White to TANGLED).
I'm particularly interested in the sideline shorts of "Ice Age", and there shouldn't be any leftovers, so when some of the passages echoed, I would rub my palms and laugh.
Squirrel is consistent, if the accidental popularity of the first episode led to a somewhat flooded second episode of Squirrel, but the short films about it since have given it flesh and character, especially the third episode (which, by the way, is The best episode in the whole series) The formation and destruction of his concept of love and marriage is by no means something that children can understand, but it has a good refreshing effect on adults.
In this episode, in the face of the changing image of the siren, his reaction was that the tiger body shook and the chrysanthemum tightened, and then quickly fled. I suddenly thought of the transformation he had experienced before, and I couldn't help but listen and listen. The room burst into laughter.
Blue Sky never skimps on the spoofs in it, although these laughs are always enough - whether it's the Statue of Liberty in the last oasis, or the nut Atlantis at the end, they are all the ingenuity and ingenuity of the director.
Because I had already watched the exposure of the short film, the exaggerated continental drift at the beginning and the appearance of the treasure map made me feel more cordial than funny, and the squirrel in the shape of a mermaid is no longer a nonsense point of laughter.
But the countless lines and details are still full of laughter - the oil flower floating on the water and the stunned shark when the grandmother took a bath for the first time... Manny's lines for his daughter's discipline... SID hugs the big crab in the wind and waves The exclamation "HOLY CRAB" to his last words "find me a girlfriend and tell her I love her"... all made me laugh out loud. Most of these jokes are about love, family, or just a pun on words, but they all make me feel witty.
Of course, the most classic is the famous saying of the two possums: "BECAUSE WE ARE VERY VERY STUPID", and the serious expression on his face at that time.
Combined with their performance in the first two episodes and the short film, I fully believe that they can live a long life, after all, there are not many people as cheap as them.
