I think Diego's fear of water could have still worked if it was linked to the events of the first movie. Diego definitely felt guilty for being the reason why Roshan was growing up without his mother... he made her jump off a waterfall, and he probably learned from Manny and Sid that she died in the river. What if Diego was afraid of water because every time he looked at it, it reminded him of the fact that he killed the mother and basically ruined the baby's life? But no, he had to be afraid of water just because he is a cat. -.-
In the film itself (based on how it was written), That seems kind of pointless, although I get that he's a cat, but compared to everything else in The Meltdown, it looks weak and out of place. I think the third one does this better (at least in the first few minutes), because the main characters are at a point as to where they are all at a mid-life crisis and need to figure out what to do next, but like I said, the first few minutes.
@Zita Á. And as he developed over time, he grew into a very different character, they could have written him as a shadow of his former self, ashamed of his actions. His fear of water could have been an excellent characteristic.
Looking back at Dawn of the Dinosaurs, it honestly feels like it was supposed to end the franchise (especially with the arcs of the characters being about moving on in seperate paths), but some executives at either Bluesky or Fox saw how much money it made and decided to milk the franchise dry.
Ice Age 1: Definitely the best by far Ice Age the Meltdown: It was a fine follow-up. Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs: Best of the sequels, Buck was a fun dude and it should've been the end of the franchise Ice Age Continental Drift: I didn't mind it, It was ok. Ice Age Collision Course: Did not like it one bit, Definitely a sad disappointment, and it also ruined Buck's Character Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild: *Why are we still here*
Buck deserved his own sequel but Crash and Eddie kinda spoiled it. I wouldn't mind a prequel about Captain Gutt and his crew, though. Would love to see Gupta get more screen time cause I think he's got the coolest CGI character design I've ever seen (A pirate flag badger? HELL YES!).
The first Ice Age movie is the absolute best in the franchise. I enjoyed the second and third ones. Didn’t care much for the fourth one. The fifth one was BEYOND DISAPPOINTING. The only thing I enjoyed about it is how they brought in a tiny bit of Manny’s theme music from the first movie at the end. That’s literally the only thing I found enjoyable about it. They told the baby they’d never forget him and yet he hasn’t been MENTIONED EVEN ONCE in ANY of the sequels! I hope they bring him back or at least mention him. Show him as an adult and have him reunite with the herd and meet Ellie, Peaches, etc. And end the series with that.
I totally agree!"We will never forget you"BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN IT!!!!And if they really want to make a sixth movie,they should add the babby as an adult,as you said!
Totally agree. Also correct me if I’m wrong but where the hell is Momma T-Rex and Rudy? Especially Rudy considering that to my knowledge Buck didn’t mention him at all in Collision Course.
As much as these terrible sequels are... well... terrible, and people wish Ice Age was a stand alone film, I actually am glad some of these exist, because without crappy sequels you can never truly appreciate the brilliance of the first film. Think of it that way guys!
Ice age 1: great Ice age 2: not as good as first, but still good Ice age 3: last good ice age movie :( Ice age 4: disappointment Ice age 5: so god damn bad Ice age 6: just stop...
Agree especially collision course I just saw it yesterday on disney plus and everyone was right and you all were right that was one of the worst I ever seen and the ice age franchise fail part and I give up the ice age franchise 😔
Ice Age: Continental Drift is a strange one because I feel the core of a good film hiding beneath all the... Ice Age 4. There are ideas here that if fleshed out properly probably could have worked, if given more attention. Sid's family, for one. In the film we have they're a throwaway joke at best that only serve to deliver the iconic and very necessary character Granny, which rubs me the wrong way. Here we have arguably the single greatest opportunity to really explore the core of Sid's character, for us to really see why the Herd is important to him, why he valued getting the Baby back to its family in Ice Age 1 so much. Sid's family is abusive, abandoning him and later abandoning Granny because they are "dead weight". Diego even points out how that "explains a lot about Sid". Here we have a perverted, twisted version of the family dynamic that Manny is fruitlessly trying to cling onto with Peaches. Does the movie do anything with that? Hell no. Why not use this not only to explore Sid's relationship with the Herd to a greater extent, but also give more weight and purpose to the plot with Manny and Peaches? Dig deeper into what Dawn of the Dinosaurs touched upon with Sid's need for respect, whilst also having Sid's dysfunctional family be what drives Peaches as she reflects on her own familial relations now that her father is potentially gone forever? Nah, instead we have generic sitcom drama and whacky old lady jokes. Expanding on that are the antagonists themselves, Gutt's crew. THEY ARE SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY. Here you have the perfect chance to demonstrate a twisted, darker version of the Herd we have grown to know and love... or, at least tolerate. They're a found family, but this one is dysfunctional, less loving with everyone seeming to have at least some disdain towards one another. Why not use that to parallel the main characters? Why not have the other pirates (namely Shira) feel like they're practically being held captive by Gutt to better exlpore Manny's need to let go of his daughter and let her grow and be independant? Nah, instead we'll have silly pirate shenanigans. It's just so bizzare, it feels like they wanted to make a movie with some heart but gave up halfway through or something.
DUDE I was so upset at how Peaches and Lewis weren't together in the next movie since they seemed so perfect in the fourth. In fact, the whole part of that plot was Peaches realizing Lewis was a better friend than any of the mammoths she tried to hang out with including her crush. If Lewis were her new crush it would play with the idea that the love of your life may not be who you think they are which is a valuable lesson for teens since they usually just try to get with the first person they think is cute. Plus her relationship with Lewis was so valuable that Lewis actually was the only one trying to save her and despite him being a coward and Peaches being bold and daring she still enjoyed hanging out with him more than with the other mammoths. It was cute it was new and it fits in with the concept of Ice Age having different species relationships and a unique herd. But nah just give us a different hIp WiTh ThE kIdS character as her new love interest. It's one of the many reasons why I pretend the fifth movie didn't exist.
I couldn't agree more with all of this. If you're going to make all of these sequels, then please properly build upon the ideas you established! In other words, don't relegate Lewis to a non-speaking cameo in the fifth film!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 In Ice Age 2, Manny was flanderized because of the way he treated Ellie by staring at her ass as a form of sexual harassment (in Blue Sky’s previous film, they knew how to do a sexual big butt joke right in Robots with Bigweld and Aunt Fanny) and then afterwards, he gave her a fake apology and because he would go as far as to give her the insults he planned to give her during the minefield scene (as IA2’s excuse for the characters to split up), it shows. And yet he (and other Ice Age characters) could actually get worse in the 2010s, especially Sid’s family the ones in Ice Age 5 like Sid by doing the same thing Manny did that made Ellie and her possum brothers uncomfortable during the scene where Sid tried to propose to a sloth that hated her because he treated her like shit by gaslighting her. At this rate, hopes that Sid would deserve a girlfriend have finally been lost and yet he’s lucky he even got one! Because he could lose her by uncomfortably talking about how big her ass is and call her “stubborn” and “bitch” for refusing his fake apology like “That came out wrong!” to boast his toxic masculinity (in the same way as Manny in IA2, but worse. WAY WORSE.).
THIS COMMENT IS BREAKING MY HEART! Peaches and Louis were the best part for my 17-year-old brain when watching IACD..... they were perfect and everything you said is spot on! And NO... FOX just... grrrr....
@@problematicprincess6270 Still doesn’t change how the Sonic fandom is made of shippers of different characters of different species (Sonaze, Taiream, Knuxouge, Sonails, KnuxAmy, etc)
The third film had the ear marks of a finale. They really should’ve ended with the last one. What was Fox thinking? I can even tell that Blue Sky didn’t want to do more than three.
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 that’s cool. But IMO, I thought the worst ones was continental drift, collision course and.......every time I think about the buck wild one I 🤮
I know most people aren't a big fan of Manny's family but I think if they extrapolated on his history further it would work. What if in the 2nd, Manny was the reluctant one. What if ellie found him and she was the one suggesting a romantic relationship, and while Manny may have liked her he was reluctant to open up to her. Maybe ellie could relate to loosing her family at a young age or a brother recently, they could help each other. And then when we get to peaches it's far less the haha stereotypical over protective dad and we delve into how he handles this second chance. Maybe he starts projecting onto her and refuses to leave her side out of fear of something bad happening. He is paranoid that he will loose her and he has to come to terms with life being dangerous but ultimately needing to let go and let her live her own life. How peaches isn't his last kid and furthermore shouldn't be treated differently because of his paranoia.
You channel is a prime example how RUclips broke the system and how it is impossible for channels to get exposure they deserved. I truly enjoyed this video and it is probably the best video that deals with problems with Ice Age movies. Can't understand why it does not have at least 100000 views. Excellent job you did!
That is such a nice comment- thank you so much. I was literally just talking with a friend today about how this video went under the radar, whereas a video about Ice Age with similar points from last month got almost 700,000 views! I probably just need to rebrand my channel and/or upload more consistently, but whenever I make a video, it's out of the passion for it. And I definitely have passion for the Ice Age franchise and what's become of it, and that's really why I made the video, since I felt like the longest-running theatrical animated series deserved a closer look. So I'm grateful that you appreciated it!
I say. It's really unnecessary that they tried soo hard to give the gang love interests. Not every character needs a love interest! Let the fanfics do that. XD
@@lukelichtenthal5407I actually liked Shira, she actually went through an arc similar to Diego in the first film, the one issue was how much she was wasted in the fifth film. Brooke, though… nah nothing good to say except the voice actress tried her hardest.
Ice age let's make a good movie Ice age 2 let's give Manny a girlfriend Ice Age 3 let's give Manny a child and dinosaurs in flim Ice Age 4 let's put pirates and Jennifer Lopez in the flim Ice Age 5 let's put spaceships and give Manny a son in law
something people never bring up and it makes me quite mad is that louis is an awful partner for Peaches, not because he is a molehog, but because he is simply the "best friend who is a nice guy so the girl has to fall in love with him" and it's just so.. forced and tiring, to see her have this obligation of falling in love with him because that's what the plot demands, like "i was nice to you, date me now", ESPECIALLY because Ethan, the mamoth she was crushing in the beggining is actually a pretty nice guy? his friends were mean, but the one with the worst attitude was actually Peaches herself i really like the fact that Peaches didn't end up whith the mole in the fifth movie, because their "love story" was just very forced and was a badly played cliche of "the girl has to be with her best friend, because he is a /r nice guy"
I can certainly see that- it shouldn't be an obligation, you're definitely right. I'm mostly interested in consistency. Peaches meeting her future husband offscreen between films is unsatisfying.
I never understood why Peaches was an outcast. An effing mammoth strong enough to swing itself from tree to tree is badass tbh. I could understand a bit of specie-cism , but seriously?
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 You know what else I did in this much time? Searched the Wikipedia article of highest-grossing film franchises (between #18 and #15 were Fast & Furious and Transformers which Lindsay Ellis and her followers would half-accurately (with Bayformers more than F&F) as “Twilight for teenage men”, and guess which one of these similar-ish franchises out-grossed the other? Fast & Furious! I don’t care what anyone says, I’m forever grateful for it because Bayformers is so bad makes Ice Age look like Step Up in terms of pentalogies!).
Fan flips out over a franchise that should have died a long time ago (colorized) In all seriousness great vid, this franchise should have been a trilogy
I remember watching the 1978 Superman movie with my mom and she was constantly criticizing the parents, both for sending their baby off in a spaceship alone, and for letting him stand in a feild and leave just going: 'North.' 🙃
Here is my ranking of every ice age movie. Ice age 1. My rating: 10/10 Description: Amazing movie, i loved it and it has special place in my hearth. Ice age 2. My rating: 8/10 Description: i liked this movie but it was not that good to me as ice age 1. Ice age 3. My rating: 10/10. Description: This movie is just great... I don't know what to say here, i just loved that movie so much as kid. Ice age 4. My rating: 7,5/10 Description: yeah..yeah i know.. i am prorably one of few people who don't find this movie dissapointing or bad. But i liked it (oc not as much as first 3 movies, but it was still good to me). Ice age 5. My rating: 1/10 Description: why they even made this movie... this movie ruined franchise of ice age. It was so bad, only thing i enjoyed was the song at end. Besides that... it was horrible.
Ice Age: A classic masterpiece! The Meltdown: Not as good as the first film, but still good Dawn of the Dinosaurs: This is really good and the best sequel Continental Drift: It was ok, it had moments Collision Course: Really bad, dissappointing and should'nt exist Adventures of Wild Buck: Oh, piss off Disney
This video is great! Not only did it make me laugh, but also, you go into full detail on how the ice age series, has fallen flat on it's face. This definitely deserves more views.
I loved the original as a kid, had it on vhs. It was kind of mellow, understated, even gritty at times. That scene with the cave painting coming to life still gives me chills. And it was a pretty unique idea to use these bizarre ice age animals instead of more marketable ones.
Ending got me a bit emotional there, good job. Makes me want to watch Ice Age again (The only point I disagree with you on is Buck though, I can't stand him. He's tolerable in the third movie, but he's worse than any other character in the fifth).
Thank you!!! Fans stick around through it all, y'know? I definitely agree that Buck is not utilized well at all in the fifth. Nothing is good in the fifth haha.
I just rewatched the first movie and I noticed something else: remember the bracelet the Neanderthal dad puts on Manny's tusk? The fact that that didn't show up at all in any sequels is kind of...disrespectful to the memory of Roshan and his mother, but mostly I was just reminded how good the original is. Is the third one worth rewatching at all?
Very good point. Even the inclusion of that bracelet and no other comment on the humans would have been better than the nothing they ended up doing in the sequels. And the third one, like I say in the video, definitely doesn't take itself as seriously as the first one, but give it a watch if you're in the right mood for something silly and light, with still more respect for the characters and originality than any of the other sequels.
He is my favorite character along with the original trio. I find him amazing. 1. First novie 2. Third movie 3. Second movie But in the fifth movie his character was terrible, it hadn't that spark of wild and interesting A parody of himself. I still get goosebumps when i see "...rudy.." scene
I don’t have high hopes for the current Buck movie- but I’ll always choose to believe the franchise truly ended with the 3rd movie. ( For years I’ve always wished that a Buck movie would be a prequel about how he got trapped in the Lost world)
Blue Sky: If this is good, we lose our cash cow. The Boss: ou! Wut if... Blue sky: ou! I know, we can destroy the quality of the sirse! That way we'll never have to let it go and they will stay our little cash cow forever! Hahahhhahaha The Boss: No, you psychopath! The Boss: Wut if we make our characters feel undeveloped, All of the characters turned into comic reliefs, stealing plot ideas from our other Ice age moives, and add characters for no reason. Blue sky: ou, that better, I like that. Blue sky: no one will ever notice and realize we're only doing this for money.
Great retrospective! I have such a soft spot for the series watching every entry growing up and I’m so glad that other people enjoy these movies as much as I do.
A very simple comparison of the critics sees the problem, The franchise was going down every time a new movie came out: Ice Age 1: 77% RT, 7.5 IMDB Ice Age 2: 57% RT, 6.8 IMDB Ice Age 3: 46% RT, 7.0 IMDB Ice Age 4: 37% RT, 6.6 IMDB Ice Age 5: 17% RT, 5.7 IMDB
This video is so much better then I expected, it needs many more views. So many jokes [thanks to some very nice editing] hit home for me, and it also critisizes movies with those good jokes.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I'm kind of a sucker for the synching of words with your script at 10:53 - and the repeted Chris Wedge joke [as seen in 22:28] helps with furthering the insanity about the decay of this series. Maybe I just like the Scrat voice too much, but I dunno. 36:00 is also nice because of how that's just a nice editing joke to help sink in how horrible that line is, and as that reality sinks in the joke gets funnier. I really like the jokes throughout the video and I defenentally wouldn't say stop doing scripted jokes as that's what makes it so I don't get bored. And they compliment the overall comedy sense of the drastic comparisons between the series. EDIT: Also 9:31 gets more funny the more I imagine it in my head.
Nutaneme Wow, the detailed response is much appreciated! It’s really helpful to have that level of feedback. And haha I’ll never tire of the Chris Wedge runner; the on-camera footage of him doing the Scrat voice was just too precious to not utilize.
To be fair in Despicable Me 2 it was only Agnes who wants a mommy, Margo and Edith is only helping Agnes to get Gru a special Date but to be honest Lucy did work in despicable me 2, remember Gru was just a supervillain only to become a dad in despicable me 1, but in the second film we can see why Gru didn’t need a wife in the first place with a hilarious and depressing flashback sequence, plus Gru didn’t give the love at first sight cliche it only happens after he had his failed date which Gru and later Lucy finally confess their feelings from one another, despicable me 3 while the long lost brother cliche works Sometimes Dru has some creepy vibes going on but he’s mostly funny but it’s his plot is I just want to impress my dad is stupid
Same, 2, and 3 were ok, but they were so different from the original, I just call them completely different films. The first was definitely the most grounded, while as it progressed, it just tried to make up weirder ideas so people would stick around, instead of making any attempt at a more interesting narrative.
Oh yeah, 100% agree. Ice Age 4 and 5 were just, eh... I just wish they kept up the narrative and structure from the 1st movie, then it would easily have been an exceptional series.
I've never seen any movie after 3, so I gotta ask: why is Peaches' "hair" tied? What did she use? Who did it? How can you tie your hair when you don't have thumbs?
How I view the franchise Ice Age 1: 10/10 Ice Age 2: 9/10 Ice Age 3: 9.3/10 Ice Age 4: 4/10 Ice Age 5: 1/10 Ice Age: The Adventures Of Buck Wild: 0.5/10 Ice Age should of ended at the 3rd film, Manny restored everything that was taken from him.
Wow, this was a great review! I know ice age isn't exactly a good series but it will always be a part of my childhood, no matter how much I want to dislike it, I know I'll never be able to.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I really like your content of what I've seen so far, I do have a suggestion, maybe you could explain things from a writing perspective like give advice on how to do what. I don't know if what I'm saying makes sense but, yeahh. I'm certainly a FAN of your content thus far.
to me it’s pretty funny how people are mad and upset because of the animated baby getting made as meme it’s literally an animated baby it doesn’t have feelings if it was a real life baby then people are actually not gonna make memes of it
36:05: "HONEY! I'M IN MY MANNY CAVE WATCHING THE HAWKS MATCH GAME!" LOL, how did I missed that joke!? Someone play the Batman (a.k.a. Manny-man) Theme right now!
The only thing I didn't like about this video was because of the volume being low and the footage and music was louder. I guess it's because of your screaming but I still agree with everything in this video. Ice Age is a franchise that tries to be cool (no pun intended) but fails miserably especially after the 3rd movie.
Yes, I wish that I had mixed the volume levels differently on this one. It's definitely something I've been very conscious of since. Thank you for your comment! :)
They should’ve ended after the 3rd movie. The first 2 had heart and the 3rd one I thought was the funniest but didn’t have the adult entertainment value that the previous 2 had beyond the jokes which mind you were actually incredible
As someone who has zero interest in a romantic relationship but a strong interest in being a parent one day, I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts on the Despicable Me sequels. Especially with the 3rd one where Agnes calls Lucy mom at the end when none of the girls have ever called Gru dad. Look, I'm sorry but I just found that really insulting to the first movie. After everything the girls and Gru went through in the first movie they still call him Gru but they just let Lucy get called mom because.... nuclear family.
Also Ice Age 5 itself seems to be aware and proud that it's given the main characters family of the same species to hang out with instead now. You know how in Ice Age 1-3 whenever the characters were shown sleeping they would be sleeping together in an open space so they would occasionally interact? Well in this one there's a shot where they're all sleeping and they're all sleeping in different roles in rocks right next to their love interest with rock walls separating them. And if that isn't a visual representation I don't know what is. Talk about being compartmentalized, they are PHYSICALLY being compartmentalized. I'm probably looking way too deep into that one shot but still, thought it was interesting.
13:56 This never made any sense to me, as a kid I always wondered this because in the first film you can clearly see scrat getting stomped on by mammoth foots in the opening
...PERVERT!! But honestly, I couldn't disagree single bit! I forgot how much depth, story and emotion movie 1 had, and how they shattered it with each movie. ^^;
Honestly, I loved the Ice Age movies as a kid, but when I saw the fifth one come out, I knew it was definitely time for it to be done. I liked that Buck was back, and that Sid finally got a love interest, but everything else I felt like was to crazy espeically when you look at the first film.
My opinion on these movies: Ice Age: Funny, heartwarming and charming Meltdown: Good sequel, but not as good as the first. Dawn of dinosaurs: Pretty good. Buck was definetly best part. This is where the series SHOULD have ended. Continental Drift: Pretty bad. Only chuckled twice. Collision Course: Good lord its bad. Every character was lobotomized, the story is nonsensical and the goddamn modern lingo.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Yeah, I don’t think they have enough money for the Mighty Megalosaurus, but I think they got my friend Roy’s cousin in the movie.
While i did find some of the anger in this video to be a little over done the video is still really good. I'm a Ice Age fan myself and man the movies really went downhill after the 3rd movie (the Meltdown was alright but still not as great as the first). And this must be said: Collision Course is complete garbage. That Manny scene you mentioned in Collision Course pissed me off so hard when i saw it for the first time. It was so out of character and is nothing like the Manny we love in the first movie.
There can never be too much anger for a franchise as important as Ice Age being mishandled! And yeah, that scene will annoy me to no end haha. Thanks for watching.
Dude, you need to teach Schaffrillas Productions how to be comedically angry...and also, like, just talk...without constantly cursing. THIS is a quality review. You deserve my subscription, and many more.
The 1st Ice Age: as someone who is the least nostalgic for the 1st movie, it is impeccable in my opinion Ice Age 2: I’m the most nostalgic for this movie so in that sense, I love it but on its own, I still like it Ice Age 3: Really good. This film is so fun and the writing is a lot better overall compared to the second movie, even if I do prompt it up for nostalgia 4: hot take, I actually kind of like it 5: no 6: An attempt that’s kinda mid
Personally, I enjoyed the ice age franchise. But if we’re being realistic, it should have ended at the third movie. The fourth if we’re being generous. Here are some issues I had with the sequels - One of my biggest quarrels with the franchise was how much manny’s character was ruined in the 5th movie, and how much it completed contradicted his character growth in the fourth movie. They also had Ellie suffer the exact same thing in the 5th movie. - The need to have every character have a love interest. Brooke was a meaningless character and literally felt like a plot device for Sid and didn’t bring anything to the movie. Shira I could argue that she didn’t need to be with Diego but I like their relationship. Julian is an exception as his position actually has some relevance to the movie. - The complete modernization of the 5th movie. I get they were going with more silly approaches to ready a more light hearted audience, but they way they began the ice age franchise felt like they really lost it all. It lost the potential it could have had. - This one is just a minor nitpick, I don’t like how they completely changed peaches’ design from looking exactly like Ellie to a completely different design. They should have made her look different from the jump if they were gonna change her.

I think Diego's fear of water could have still worked if it was linked to the events of the first movie.
Diego definitely felt guilty for being the reason why Roshan was growing up without his mother... he made her jump off a waterfall, and he probably learned from Manny and Sid that she died in the river.
What if Diego was afraid of water because every time he looked at it, it reminded him of the fact that he killed the mother and basically ruined the baby's life?
But no, he had to be afraid of water just because he is a cat. -.-
That is actually genius. I never would have thought of that. Well done.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Give this person a script and budget
@@penmasterx3701 he can make a better ice age moive than blue sky when there at there 4th or 5th one
In the film itself (based on how it was written), That seems kind of pointless, although I get that he's a cat, but compared to everything else in The Meltdown, it looks weak and out of place. I think the third one does this better (at least in the first few minutes), because the main characters are at a point as to where they are all at a mid-life crisis and need to figure out what to do next, but like I said, the first few minutes.
@Zita Á. And as he developed over time, he grew into a very different character, they could have written him as a shadow of his former self, ashamed of his actions. His fear of water could have been an excellent characteristic.
Looking back at Dawn of the Dinosaurs, it honestly feels like it was supposed to end the franchise (especially with the arcs of the characters being about moving on in seperate paths), but some executives at either Bluesky or Fox saw how much money it made and decided to milk the franchise dry.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Especially when the Christmas and Easter special were only to promote the 4 and 5 movie

Agree especially collision course I just saw it yesterday on disney plus and everyone was right and you all were right that was one of the worst I ever seen and the ice age franchise fail part and I give up the ice age franchise 😔
Ice Age: Continental Drift is a strange one because I feel the core of a good film hiding beneath all the... Ice Age 4. There are ideas here that if fleshed out properly probably could have worked, if given more attention. Sid's family, for one. In the film we have they're a throwaway joke at best that only serve to deliver the iconic and very necessary character Granny, which rubs me the wrong way. Here we have arguably the single greatest opportunity to really explore the core of Sid's character, for us to really see why the Herd is important to him, why he valued getting the Baby back to its family in Ice Age 1 so much. Sid's family is abusive, abandoning him and later abandoning Granny because they are "dead weight". Diego even points out how that "explains a lot about Sid". Here we have a perverted, twisted version of the family dynamic that Manny is fruitlessly trying to cling onto with Peaches. Does the movie do anything with that? Hell no. Why not use this not only to explore Sid's relationship with the Herd to a greater extent, but also give more weight and purpose to the plot with Manny and Peaches? Dig deeper into what Dawn of the Dinosaurs touched upon with Sid's need for respect, whilst also having Sid's dysfunctional family be what drives Peaches as she reflects on her own familial relations now that her father is potentially gone forever? Nah, instead we have generic sitcom drama and whacky old lady jokes.
Expanding on that are the antagonists themselves, Gutt's crew. THEY ARE SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY. Here you have the perfect chance to demonstrate a twisted, darker version of the Herd we have grown to know and love... or, at least tolerate. They're a found family, but this one is dysfunctional, less loving with everyone seeming to have at least some disdain towards one another. Why not use that to parallel the main characters? Why not have the other pirates (namely Shira) feel like they're practically being held captive by Gutt to better exlpore Manny's need to let go of his daughter and let her grow and be independant? Nah, instead we'll have silly pirate shenanigans. It's just so bizzare, it feels like they wanted to make a movie with some heart but gave up halfway through or something.
Wow. Love all of these expansions. I wish you wrote it!
The focus on Sid being abandoned exists, it's called Encanto.
@@doritodorito492 Lol! Brilliant.
I just assumed that SIDS family is well aware of survival of the fittest and just knows to not give a damn
I wish They had done more with Sid’s Family
DUDE I was so upset at how Peaches and Lewis weren't together in the next movie since they seemed so perfect in the fourth. In fact, the whole part of that plot was Peaches realizing Lewis was a better friend than any of the mammoths she tried to hang out with including her crush. If Lewis were her new crush it would play with the idea that the love of your life may not be who you think they are which is a valuable lesson for teens since they usually just try to get with the first person they think is cute. Plus her relationship with Lewis was so valuable that Lewis actually was the only one trying to save her and despite him being a coward and Peaches being bold and daring she still enjoyed hanging out with him more than with the other mammoths. It was cute it was new and it fits in with the concept of Ice Age having different species relationships and a unique herd.
But nah just give us a different hIp WiTh ThE kIdS character as her new love interest. It's one of the many reasons why I pretend the fifth movie didn't exist.
I couldn't agree more with all of this. If you're going to make all of these sequels, then please properly build upon the ideas you established! In other words, don't relegate Lewis to a non-speaking cameo in the fifth film!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 In Ice Age 2, Manny was flanderized because of the way he treated Ellie by staring at her ass as a form of sexual harassment (in Blue Sky’s previous film, they knew how to do a sexual big butt joke right in Robots with Bigweld and Aunt Fanny) and then afterwards, he gave her a fake apology and because he would go as far as to give her the insults he planned to give her during the minefield scene (as IA2’s excuse for the characters to split up), it shows.
And yet he (and other Ice Age characters) could actually get worse in the 2010s, especially Sid’s family the ones in Ice Age 5 like Sid by doing the same thing Manny did that made Ellie and her possum brothers uncomfortable during the scene where Sid tried to propose to a sloth that hated her because he treated her like shit by gaslighting her. At this rate, hopes that Sid would deserve a girlfriend have finally been lost and yet he’s lucky he even got one! Because he could lose her by uncomfortably talking about how big her ass is and call her “stubborn” and “bitch” for refusing his fake apology like “That came out wrong!” to boast his toxic masculinity (in the same way as Manny in IA2, but worse. WAY WORSE.).
THIS COMMENT IS BREAKING MY HEART! Peaches and Louis were the best part for my 17-year-old brain when watching IACD..... they were perfect and everything you said is spot on! And NO... FOX just... grrrr....
Bc lewis was a hingehonge and peaches is a furry momth
@@problematicprincess6270 Still doesn’t change how the Sonic fandom is made of shippers of different characters of different species (Sonaze, Taiream, Knuxouge, Sonails, KnuxAmy, etc)
The third film had the ear marks of a finale. They really should’ve ended with the last one. What was Fox thinking? I can even tell that Blue Sky didn’t want to do more than three.
They were thinking with their bank account with how much money it made.

@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 that’s cool. But IMO, I thought the worst ones was continental drift, collision course and.......every time I think about the buck wild one I 🤮
honestly, i did too, the 3rd one was my favorite, but after that it was a huge drop down…
Those Were The Ones I Grew Up With As Well 🤝
I know most people aren't a big fan of Manny's family but I think if they extrapolated on his history further it would work. What if in the 2nd, Manny was the reluctant one. What if ellie found him and she was the one suggesting a romantic relationship, and while Manny may have liked her he was reluctant to open up to her. Maybe ellie could relate to loosing her family at a young age or a brother recently, they could help each other. And then when we get to peaches it's far less the haha stereotypical over protective dad and we delve into how he handles this second chance. Maybe he starts projecting onto her and refuses to leave her side out of fear of something bad happening. He is paranoid that he will loose her and he has to come to terms with life being dangerous but ultimately needing to let go and let her live her own life. How peaches isn't his last kid and furthermore shouldn't be treated differently because of his paranoia.
Well, Blue Sky didn't do that idea you just expanded, so......yeah. They completely failed to flesh something out that could've made it a good sequel.
You channel is a prime example how RUclips broke the system and how it is impossible for channels to get exposure they deserved. I truly enjoyed this video and it is probably the best video that deals with problems with Ice Age movies. Can't understand why it does not have at least 100000 views.
Excellent job you did!
That is such a nice comment- thank you so much. I was literally just talking with a friend today about how this video went under the radar, whereas a video about Ice Age with similar points from last month got almost 700,000 views! I probably just need to rebrand my channel and/or upload more consistently, but whenever I make a video, it's out of the passion for it. And I definitely have passion for the Ice Age franchise and what's become of it, and that's really why I made the video, since I felt like the longest-running theatrical animated series deserved a closer look. So I'm grateful that you appreciated it!
I say.
It's really unnecessary that they tried soo hard to give the gang love interests.
Not every character needs a love interest!
Let the fanfics do that. XD
there's... fanfics of Ice Age?
Manny was fine but the other two, not so much.
@@lukelichtenthal5407I actually liked Shira, she actually went through an arc similar to Diego in the first film, the one issue was how much she was wasted in the fifth film. Brooke, though… nah nothing good to say except the voice actress tried her hardest.

I never thought a 43:22 long discussion about ice would be so thoughtful
something people never bring up and it makes me quite mad is that louis is an awful partner for Peaches, not because he is a molehog, but because he is simply the "best friend who is a nice guy so the girl has to fall in love with him" and it's just so.. forced and tiring, to see her have this obligation of falling in love with him because that's what the plot demands, like "i was nice to you, date me now", ESPECIALLY because Ethan, the mamoth she was crushing in the beggining is actually a pretty nice guy? his friends were mean, but the one with the worst attitude was actually Peaches herself
i really like the fact that Peaches didn't end up whith the mole in the fifth movie, because their "love story" was just very forced and was a badly played cliche of "the girl has to be with her best friend, because he is a /r nice guy"
I can certainly see that- it shouldn't be an obligation, you're definitely right. I'm mostly interested in consistency. Peaches meeting her future husband offscreen between films is unsatisfying.
I never understood why Peaches was an outcast. An effing mammoth strong enough to swing itself from tree to tree is badass tbh. I could understand a bit of specie-cism , but seriously?
Brian, you did a great job on this. Only you could make me sit through a deep analysis on the Ice Age series for 43 minutes.
Haha, I take that as the highest of compliments, thank you!!!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 You know what else I did in this much time?
Searched the Wikipedia article of highest-grossing film franchises (between #18 and #15 were Fast & Furious and Transformers which Lindsay Ellis and her followers would half-accurately (with Bayformers more than F&F) as “Twilight for teenage men”, and guess which one of these similar-ish franchises out-grossed the other? Fast & Furious! I don’t care what anyone says, I’m forever grateful for it because Bayformers is so bad makes Ice Age look like Step Up in terms of pentalogies!).

@@Blue-Apple-fc9eo no
Honestly the first 3 movies are great in my opinion. Anything after those everything else is either ok or crap.
The moment the vultures began to sing, I knew things were going to go downhill.
I loved the original as a kid, had it on vhs. It was kind of mellow, understated, even gritty at times. That scene with the cave painting coming to life still gives me chills. And it was a pretty unique idea to use these bizarre ice age animals instead of more marketable ones.
The funny thing about Crash calling Manny a pervert is… he’s voiced by Sean William Scott, commonly remembered as Stiffler. Let that irony sink in.
Ending got me a bit emotional there, good job. Makes me want to watch Ice Age again
(The only point I disagree with you on is Buck though, I can't stand him. He's tolerable in the third movie, but he's worse than any other character in the fifth).
Thank you!!! Fans stick around through it all, y'know? I definitely agree that Buck is not utilized well at all in the fifth. Nothing is good in the fifth haha.
I just rewatched the first movie and I noticed something else: remember the bracelet the Neanderthal dad puts on Manny's tusk? The fact that that didn't show up at all in any sequels is kind of...disrespectful to the memory of Roshan and his mother, but mostly I was just reminded how good the original is. Is the third one worth rewatching at all?
Very good point. Even the inclusion of that bracelet and no other comment on the humans would have been better than the nothing they ended up doing in the sequels. And the third one, like I say in the video, definitely doesn't take itself as seriously as the first one, but give it a watch if you're in the right mood for something silly and light, with still more respect for the characters and originality than any of the other sequels.
Buck is one of my favorite characters apart from Shira, Diego, crash, and Eddie, and Peaches, and Julian.
He is my favorite character along with the original trio. I find him amazing.
1. First novie
2. Third movie
3. Second movie
But in the fifth movie his character was terrible, it hadn't that spark of wild and interesting
A parody of himself.
I still get goosebumps when i see "...rudy.." scene
I don’t have high hopes for the current Buck movie- but I’ll always choose to believe the franchise truly ended with the 3rd movie. ( For years I’ve always wished that a Buck movie would be a prequel about how he got trapped in the Lost world)
That’s the direction I thought the Buck movie was going to take at first... sigh...
Iow budget streaming nonsense with no original cast.

So glad you enjoyed. I definitely have a soft spot for them too. Hard to believe there's a new one next week!
A very simple comparison of the critics sees the problem, The franchise was going down every time a new movie came out:

Ice Age 4: 37% RT, 6.6 IMDB

This video is so much better then I expected, it needs many more views. So many jokes [thanks to some very nice editing] hit home for me, and it also critisizes movies with those good jokes.
Thank you so much! It's obviously a very niche subject matter but I'm glad it entertained you! Any favorite jokes stand out in particular?
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I'm kind of a sucker for the synching of words with your script at 10:53 - and the repeted Chris Wedge joke [as seen in 22:28] helps with furthering the insanity about the decay of this series. Maybe I just like the Scrat voice too much, but I dunno. 36:00 is also nice because of how that's just a nice editing joke to help sink in how horrible that line is, and as that reality sinks in the joke gets funnier.
I really like the jokes throughout the video and I defenentally wouldn't say stop doing scripted jokes as that's what makes it so I don't get bored. And they compliment the overall comedy sense of the drastic comparisons between the series.
EDIT: Also 9:31 gets more funny the more I imagine it in my head.
Nutaneme Wow, the detailed response is much appreciated! It’s really helpful to have that level of feedback. And haha I’ll never tire of the Chris Wedge runner; the on-camera footage of him doing the Scrat voice was just too precious to not utilize.

To be fair in Despicable Me 2 it was only Agnes who wants a mommy, Margo and Edith is only helping Agnes to get Gru a special Date but to be honest Lucy did work in despicable me 2, remember Gru was just a supervillain only to become a dad in despicable me 1, but in the second film we can see why Gru didn’t need a wife in the first place with a hilarious and depressing flashback sequence, plus Gru didn’t give the love at first sight cliche it only happens after he had his failed date which Gru and later Lucy finally confess their feelings from one another, despicable me 3 while the long lost brother cliche works Sometimes Dru has some creepy vibes going on but he’s mostly funny but it’s his plot is I just want to impress my dad is stupid

I still think Madagascar is a better franchise than Ice Age (and it's one of my favorite Dreamworks Franchise).
Madagascar is 100% a better franchise, but Ice Age is better as its own original film.
Henry Scott Agreed, but I honestly liked the 2nd and 3rd Ice Age Films.
Same, 2, and 3 were ok, but they were so different from the original, I just call them completely different films. The first was definitely the most grounded, while as it progressed, it just tried to make up weirder ideas so people would stick around, instead of making any attempt at a more interesting narrative.
I’ll happily take Ice Age 2 and 3 over Ice Age 4 and 5 any day!
Oh yeah, 100% agree. Ice Age 4 and 5 were just, eh...
I just wish they kept up the narrative and structure from the 1st movie, then it would easily have been an exceptional series.
I've never seen any movie after 3, so I gotta ask: why is Peaches' "hair" tied? What did she use? Who did it? How can you tie your hair when you don't have thumbs?
This is unfortunately never explained.
I have so much nostalgia for dawn of the dinosaurs partly because it's it's the only one I saw in theaters as the first two I saw on TV.

Ice Age is a franchise that tries to be cool (no pun intended) but fails miserably especially after the 3rd movie.
Yes, I wish that I had mixed the volume levels differently on this one. It's definitely something I've been very conscious of since. Thank you for your comment! :)
Yeah Ice Age getting sequels is a nice concept but it was poorly executed
I agree with most of these points, although I find the 2nd film a very good movie.
I definitely think it's miles ahead of both 4 and 5.

They should’ve ended after the 3rd movie. The first 2 had heart and the 3rd one I thought was the funniest but didn’t have the adult entertainment value that the previous 2 had beyond the jokes which mind you were actually incredible

As someone who has zero interest in a romantic relationship but a strong interest in being a parent one day, I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts on the Despicable Me sequels. Especially with the 3rd one where Agnes calls Lucy mom at the end when none of the girls have ever called Gru dad. Look, I'm sorry but I just found that really insulting to the first movie. After everything the girls and Gru went through in the first movie they still call him Gru but they just let Lucy get called mom because.... nuclear family.
Also Ice Age 5 itself seems to be aware and proud that it's given the main characters family of the same species to hang out with instead now. You know how in Ice Age 1-3 whenever the characters were shown sleeping they would be sleeping together in an open space so they would occasionally interact? Well in this one there's a shot where they're all sleeping and they're all sleeping in different roles in rocks right next to their love interest with rock walls separating them. And if that isn't a visual representation I don't know what is. Talk about being compartmentalized, they are PHYSICALLY being compartmentalized. I'm probably looking way too deep into that one shot but still, thought it was interesting.
When you screamed "none of them" you were interrupted by an add which made it even funnier

It probably should have.
While i did find some of the anger in this video to be a little over done the video is still really good. I'm a Ice Age fan myself and man the movies really went downhill after the 3rd movie (the Meltdown was alright but still not as great as the first). And this must be said: Collision Course is complete garbage. That Manny scene you mentioned in Collision Course pissed me off so hard when i saw it for the first time. It was so out of character and is nothing like the Manny we love in the first movie.
There can never be too much anger for a franchise as important as Ice Age being mishandled! And yeah, that scene will annoy me to no end haha. Thanks for watching.
all of them suck

"No, you psychopath!"
(an actual line from Ice Age)
Who's here after Blue Sky was shut down by Disney and The adventures of Buck wild came out onto Disney+
Dude, you need to teach Schaffrillas Productions how to be comedically angry...and also, like, just talk...without constantly cursing. THIS is a quality review. You deserve my subscription, and many more.
6:52 were never getting a 6th ice age movie four years later what happen another one releases
Your audio quality sounds like it was done in a cave.
Even so you're spot on.
The 1st Ice Age: as someone who is the least nostalgic for the 1st movie, it is impeccable in my opinion
Ice Age 2: I’m the most nostalgic for this movie so in that sense, I love it but on its own, I still like it
Ice Age 3: Really good. This film is so fun and the writing is a lot better overall compared to the second movie, even if I do prompt it up for nostalgia
4: hot take, I actually kind of like it
5: no
6: An attempt that’s kinda mid
yeah
Damn, this is the most heartfelt video I’ve ever seen on Ice Age. Especially the ending that was really good.
Personally, I enjoyed the ice age franchise. But if we’re being realistic, it should have ended at the third movie. The fourth if we’re being generous. Here are some issues I had with the sequels
-
One of my biggest quarrels with the franchise was how much manny’s character was ruined in the 5th movie, and how much it completed contradicted his character growth in the fourth movie. They also had Ellie suffer the exact same thing in the 5th movie.
-
The need to have every character have a love interest. Brooke was a meaningless character and literally felt like a plot device for Sid and didn’t bring anything to the movie. Shira I could argue that she didn’t need to be with Diego but I like their relationship. Julian is an exception as his position actually has some relevance to the movie.
-
The complete modernization of the 5th movie. I get they were going with more silly approaches to ready a more light hearted audience, but they way they began the ice age franchise felt like they really lost it all. It lost the potential it could have had.
-
This one is just a minor nitpick, I don’t like how they completely changed peaches’ design from looking exactly like Ellie to a completely different design. They should have made her look different from the jump if they were gonna change her.
Shira is bland with no personality and Julian is an annoying dick.
okay i might be in the small minority but
the baby was NOT that bad. like, where did the hate come from?
23:49 There were stakes in Madagascar World Tour. They were running for their lives.
I hadn’t seen the holiday specials. “Manny Cave made me cringe”
This was surprisingly good. Like...really fucking good.
Honestly
This Alone Again Cover was amazing
