This review is from: Ice Age: The Classic Storybook

After seeing this very enjoyable movie with my 4-year old, I was really looking foward to reading the story and relive his favorite moments of the movie. Yet the book was a disappointment. My main objection--it is too long. 96 pages of sometimes too literal transcription of the dialog in the movie dilutes the story as not everything that seemed fine in theaters is worth putting on paper. Second, the pictures are low quality dark screenshots of the movie--you would think that turning digital animation into high-quality prints would not be that hard, but alas. Finally, there are some moments included in the book that never made the official cut of the movie something that was confusing to my son.

Not beeing a huge Disney fan, I must admit that the book adaptations for their features are much better--concise and to the point, managing to convey the main idea of the film (if there is one).
