Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Animated fun, slapstick humor, and more than a touch of the absurd make for an entertaining 21-minute Christmas special starring favorite Ice Age characters Sid the sloth, Manny the mammoth and his wife Ellie, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and of course the acorn-hungry saber-toothed squirrel Scratte. Manny and Ellie are excitedly preparing to share their holiday traditions with their new daughter Peaches, and the first item on their list is Manny's heirloom Christmas rock. Sid, being Sid, accidentally breaks the heirloom and earns himself a place on Santa's naughty list. When Sid tries to substitute a decorated tree for the Christmas rock, the others laugh at his efforts, and his angry tirade ends with Sid, Peaches, Crash, and Eddie heading to the North Pole to let Santa himself weigh in on the issue. Manny, Ellie, and Diego go after the others and, after encounters with a flying reindeer named Prancer, an army of mini-sloths, and a huge avalanche, it looks like there may not be a Christmas at all. Can a band of prehistoric misfits possibly save the holiday? And who would have guessed that this motley crew started some of the most famous Christmas traditions way back in the Ice Age? (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

3.0 out of 5 stars 8$ for 20 minutes of video?!?!?!, November 23, 2011

This review is from: Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special (DVD)

It's an ice age short :) Enjoyable movie short. But 8$ for 20 minutes of content is rather ridiculous. 20% of the short/movie is credits. The kids enjoy it, but it really should have been 50 - 60 minutes at least. I'll likely create a Christmas compilation disc with it :)

3.0 out of 5 stars The First Christmas Tree, Flying Reindeer, and Why We Think Mini-sloths Are Elves, November 25, 2011

This review is from: Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special (DVD)

It's Christmas-time and Manny, Sid, Diego are all preparing for the upcoming holiday. When Sid destroys Manny's Christmas Rock that has been passed down from generation to generation Manny tells him he's now on Santa's naughty list and he won't get Christmas. This devastates Sid and Peaches convinces him he should go to the North Pole to talk to Santa. So, Sid, Peach, Crash, and Eddie set out together following the Northern Lights to Santa's house. Along the way they meet a flying reindeer and an army of mini-sloths (who kind of look like elves), but their planned meeting with Santa doesn't quite go the way as planned and Christmas could be ruined for everyone. Also, like all the ICE AGE adventures, Scrat continues to chase that elusive acorn. Scrat's chase causes him to become a figure skater, has him kiss a prehistoric spider, and eventually leads him on a ride in Santa's sleigh.

ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS SPECIAL is kind of cute. There are some things that completely don't make any sense such as how a frozen star can destroy a three-ton granite rock or why two adult wooly mammoths aren't able to pull a giant sled. Also, Santa isn't portrayed as his usual jolly self and though he makes toys for children, he's a bit conceited. For instance, he enjoys singing songs about himself and takes a little too much glee in creating the naughty list. He also gets angry rather easily and isn't at all optimistic. My favorite parts of the movie were the scenes with the mini-sloths (I think it was a neat touch that Santa's elves are actually mini-sloths) and all the scenes with Scrat.

This short is a little bit pricey, but kids will enjoy it as well as ICE AGE fans. The DVD features a sneak peak clip of ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT as well as a music video featuring a mini-sloth choir singing "Swingin' Jingle Bells".

4.0 out of 5 stars Very cute SHORT movie., December 9, 2011

This review is from: Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special (DVD)

My daughter received this as a gift from her Grandma. She absolutely loves it and has watched it multiple times already. The price definitely should be more reasonable, but I love the short duration because it means she isn't watching tv for a long time. If you like the Ice Age movies, you'll like this.
