The supreme irony of it all is that, in the first movie, when the acorn gets held over the fire, and turns into a kernel of popcorn instead... THE STUPID SQUIRREL COULD HAVE STILL EATEN THAT THING AND STILL HAD A NICE EASY MEAL!!!! No wonder those dumb ice age squirrels went extinct...
They’re so funny. Didn’t think twice about them in the first film, but as the sequels came they got more and more screen time and quickly became my favorites
Fun fact when they did test screenings for this movie Diego actually stayed dead, but they changed it because to many kids were left crying after the test screenings.
As if the Woolly Mammoth flashback scene didn't have every single human being in the audience crying their eyes out anyway. Guess they thought that Diego dying on top of that would have killed the entire movie's vibe.
Funfact: The studio liked Otto Waalkes, the German speaker of Sid, so much that not only did they flew him to the states so he could teach John Leguizamo how he does it, they also used his moves to help animate Sid in the sequels.
Oh wow 😃 I'm German and I didn't know that! Thanks for the info 👍 Otto really is a huge part of my childhood, not just as Sid, he was also the german voice actor for Mushu in Mulan 🐉
Sid the sloth actually saved mannys life. Manny was about to commit suicide. If you re watch he is standing at the edge of the cliff before jumping off. But Sid bumped into him and he changed his mind.
I grew up with this series of movies, but I honestly agree with her, there's not much to it besides slapstick and Sid's delivery. I think the second one is much better and then it's kind of whatever after that. Saw them all.
The most tragic thing that most of us that grew up with this film didn’t even realise until years later is Manny’s flashback. Tonnes of us thought Manny was the baby and lost his parents. Turns out he was actually the father and lost both his wife and son.
16:24 OK, for anyone who didn't know, the father mammoth in the painting is Manny and the humans killed his family, which is why he's alone and distant.
@@nellio3981 Me too! and just the other day i watched the movie with my gf and she said the same thing, and i was like WELL DAMN thats even more sad than what i believed all these years!
@@SammyRebbo Me too. Always just thought Manny was the baby, and the humans didn't kill the baby because they would have wanted Manny to grow up, so that he'd provide more meat for their kill, later on. Human hunters were exactly like that, back in the day. They still kind of are. They only ever kill the adults, and mostly just stick to killing the males. Even for sport.
This is one of the rare franchises where the sequels are better than the original. I really like the second one, and the third one is pretty good. Definitely worth watching the sequels.
I'm 19 years old and this movie still makes me cry. I guess I'm just very tender-hearted. Despite Jen not falling in love with this one, I do think she'll like the sequels better.
I have a son about the age of the baby in this movie and I was on the verge of tears when his mom rescued him and when he was reunited with his father.
@@TimothyMills77 As a kid, the thought of losing your mother is DEVASTATING! lol Still kind of is, but it's different when we're all grown up, you know?
Absolute classic, I and most i know still refrence it! "It's still green, they headed north 2 hours ago." "iT's StiLl gReeN, theY HeaDed NoRTh tWo HoURs aGo"
jen definitely gotta see the second one because there is an character that is in the second one that kinda reminds me of her and holden you is for sure is manny
I've watched this movie for years and I'm just now realizing they couldn't have Diego with the group when they returned the baby, the humans would either run or attack without wondering if the giant predator is friendly or not lol. at least with a mammoth and a sloth you know they're probably not going to try to eat you. it's great that movies like this hold up so well over the years too because now my little nephew gets to enjoy it as much as I did growing up.
If Diego had been a wolf, instead of a tiger, the humans would have given him the benefit of the doubt. lol But cats were not really domesticated until much later than dogs were, hence why humans in general are just not as attached to them. So yeah... Diego would have ruined everything. I feel like Diego knew this, and actually FAKED his death, so the group could leave without him, and do their thing, without his presence dragging everything down. And then he just comes up with the whole "nine lives" excuse later on, to play off the entire thing as "I just needed a nap."
I agree. I think karate kid won like 3rd or 4th on their Patreon poll, so hopefully they get started with the karate kid soon and then they react to Cobra Kai. I wish more people would react to Cobra Kai, its my favorite show.
@deaconashworth2728 I don't know what goes on in their personal life, but I mean they can't be too busy. It wouldn’t hurt them to knock out all karate kid films, including Jaden Smith's one I guess, and then Start Cobra Kai once they're done with Invincible season 2.
Friendly reminder that, if Sid was portrayed correctly to actual ancient sloths, he would have whooped Diego and the other saber-toothed cats' butts and turned them into his lunch and dinner.
That's if he was a GIANT sloth (which did exist). Sid is clearly not that. He's just a regular old ground sloth (that ironically is the only species of animal portrayed in this movie that actually outlasts the Ice Age, and lives on for considerably longer than that). lol
@@KyleAllen001 If Sid were a giant sloth, he'd be half the size of Manny. As it is, he's smaller even than the humans are. That's a regular sloth if ever there was one. Now, it's arguable as to whether regular sized sloths, as we know them today, were even alive back in the last Ice Age, or if they simply evolved from their more gigantic cousins, because being smaller was more efficient for their survival. Whatever the truth is, this film intended for Sid to be "just a sloth," and that's what makes his character so funny. Because he's so out of place amongst everything else.
Yeah, the Ice Age Films is not meant for adults to watch alone...it's meant for the whole Family to watch together to help instill Bonding and proved Humor about everyday Friendships and Family Oriented Life.
Not so "fun" fact: You find out during Manny's flashback scene that he lost his family. In the beginning of the movie, it's highly theorized that Manny is going the opposite direction of all the other animals during migration because he wants to stay and die alone in the coming Winter.
22:36 In the original cut, Diego died and in a first screening a bunch of kids cried so Diego's voice actor, Denis Leary spoke to the director and said "You don't want to do this, you don't want in hundreds of movie theaters everywhere kids crying over me" 😊
Me and my gf just watched this the other day and i still find it hillarious! At least if you watch it for what it is, a movie for children, made in 2002 :D Also: maybe it is because i watched it dubbed when i was a child and therefore has it as the first/main version, but i prefer the version in my own language (norwegian). EDIT: I feel like the voice actors for the american didn't really put 100% effort in (except Scrats VA).
Okay so- PLEASE PLEASE have Jen (and honestly maybe the kids) react to Brother Bear. The moose were my dad and I’s favorite characters growing up and though it’s no Tarzan, the Phil Collin’s score still rocks
4:59 you had it right the first time, it’s Leguizamo (“leh-gwih-ZAH-mo” in English, “leh-gee-SAH-mo” in Spanish). He also voices Bruno in the Disney animated movie Encanto.
4:19 as a matter of fact, yes. Because of how cold it was in this part of prehistory, mammals needed more hair to keep themselves warm. Even humans, or at least an ancestor of humans, were much hairier than we are now.
Pretty sure the long neck animal with the trunk is a maruchenia? I could be wrong. Not familiar with my Cenozoic animals. But yeah, all the animals in the film were alive at one point during the Cenozoic era.
I remember when I was younger my dad bought me my first DVD player and this movie. Still holds up in heart as one of my first movies I’ve owned and got to take care of.
Hoodwinked is an animated movie I highly recommend. It’s one of those films that isn’t highly known or talked about, most likely for its low quality animation, but it has great story telling and comedic writing. It’s a really good time.
Penguins appearing in Ice Age would really make no sense. Not trying to bash Jen over this but she was literally thinking about Happy Feet, Surf’s Up, and the Madagascar films (which you guys should do in the future). Hope Jen Silver likes the sequels better (maybe not the 5th and 6th ones but the other 3)
Ice Age peaked at the third movie, in my opinion. They are worth a watch, even if it's only a one time thing. Also I'm pretty sure the penguins Jen was hoping to see are the ones from the Madagascar franchise
.Fun fact, Sid's design is extremely stylised to look like a normal sloth, but really his species is actually around the size of elephants. Also, the humans in the movie are Neanderthals, and that's why they look "strange". Humans actually don't refer to Homosapiens, but to all Hominids in general
I think it was implied that Manny was the baby in the paintings and he lost his mom and dad at a very young age. Ever since then, he’s been on his own which is why he prefers to be going solo than part of a herd.
This is my favorite animated franchise ever, and i love the animation style of this one so much. It actually really bums me out that they change it up in the later ones, because it was very unique to this movie and helped it stand out
The animation does get better in the following movies, significantly in the 3rd one onwards. This is a great animated series overall. It has good writing and humour overall, and animals, so what’s not to love? Sadly, the company that made these movies, Blue Sky Studios was closed down in 2021 P.S. The Penguins are from the Madagascar movies
When Jen asked what year was this made and you said 2002, I was like, didn't the CGI masterpiece Finding Nemo come out in 2003? Crazy the leap Pixar had over everything else.
Even though a lot of people are recommending Madagascar and Happy Feet (both of which you should react to) I think a great penguin movie you should react to, that is constantly overlooked, is Surf's Up. So good and very funny!
When the company that made the Ice Age movies, Blue Sky, shut down, they released a quick little animation of Scrat finally getting the acorn
😢
Sucks they shutdown. They made some great movies
😪
They also made Scrat Tales as a last project. But damn he finally got to eat the acorn 😢
The supreme irony of it all is that, in the first movie, when the acorn gets held over the fire, and turns into a kernel of popcorn instead... THE STUPID SQUIRREL COULD HAVE STILL EATEN THAT THING AND STILL HAD A NICE EASY MEAL!!!!
No wonder those dumb ice age squirrels went extinct...
She’s so thinking of Madagascar
You should still check out the Madagascar movies, even if it's on your own time. The penguins are some of my favorite characters from any media.
"Smile and wave, boys....smile and wave..."
They’re so funny. Didn’t think twice about them in the first film, but as the sequels came they got more and more screen time and quickly became my favorites
Yeah maybe only 1 and 2 of madagascar
Me too
The 1st film was the best, 2nd was ok and 3rd was forgettable lol
Fun fact when they did test screenings for this movie Diego actually stayed dead, but they changed it because to many kids were left crying after the test screenings.
@@jackattacktron1000 I'm glad they brought him back, I love Diego, especially in the sequels.
@@TimothyMills77 He does so much to ground the group dynamic and balance out Sid's energy. I don't know what the sequels would have done without him.
@@Light-Rock97 I agree.
As if the Woolly Mammoth flashback scene didn't have every single human being in the audience crying their eyes out anyway. Guess they thought that Diego dying on top of that would have killed the entire movie's vibe.

Otto is a legend
Oh wow 😃 I'm German and I didn't know that! Thanks for the info 👍
Otto really is a huge part of my childhood, not just as Sid, he was also the german voice actor for Mushu in Mulan 🐉
There are so many people screaming "Madagascar" at their phones this morning 😂
my first thought was "happy feet", because that has a LOT more penguins in it.
Sid the sloth actually saved mannys life. Manny was about to commit suicide. If you re watch he is standing at the edge of the cliff before jumping off. But Sid bumped into him and he changed his mind.
"Evil Jen doesn't exist."
Evil Jen: 24:16
@zack1140 Everyone has a dark side lol. Jen let's us see hers almost evert other video lol.
I grew up with this series of movies, but I honestly agree with her, there's not much to it besides slapstick and Sid's delivery. I think the second one is much better and then it's kind of whatever after that. Saw them all.
More like Based Jen. Ice Age sucks.
This felt like watching Matt - Jen seemed to be enjoying the movie, laughing at the jokes, and then whammo! She reveals she didn’t like it 😱
Jen beginning a new series because she misremembered which movie had the penguins is sooo Jen😂
The credit roll when diego catches the baby was hilarious.
you should prank her and tell her the penguin movie is surfs up.... watch surfs up
even if he doesnt do the prank... watch surfs up!
or happy feet
Film: **has any scenes with big cats**
Jen: It'S jUsT LiOn KiNg!
The most tragic thing that most of us that grew up with this film didn’t even realise until years later is Manny’s flashback. Tonnes of us thought Manny was the baby and lost his parents. Turns out he was actually the father and lost both his wife and son.
When it comes to animated penguins, "Surf's Up!" is the way to go.
16:24 OK, for anyone who didn't know, the father mammoth in the painting is Manny and the humans killed his family, which is why he's alone and distant.
I always thought he was the baby mammoth but now thinking about it. What u say does make more sense
@@nellio3981 Me too! and just the other day i watched the movie with my gf and she said the same thing, and i was like WELL DAMN thats even more sad than what i believed all these years!
Wait, people didn't know Manny was the dad mammoth in the painting?
@@SammyRebbo I had no idea. I thought he was one of the kid mamoth's
@@SammyRebbo Me too.

not the end credits when Diego caught the baby with his mouth🤣
I was looking for this comment. That was a hilarious edit!! 😅😂🤣
I wish the would make a final Ice Age where they reunite with the kid.
jen definitely gotta see the second one because there is an character that is in the second one that kinda reminds me of her and holden you is for sure is manny

They should still continue the ice age films because it does get better overtime. Aswell as alot more cast members you recognise.
Last season of Cobra Kai tomorrow. You gotta get on the Karate Kid movies man!
I agree. I think karate kid won like 3rd or 4th on their Patreon poll, so hopefully they get started with the karate kid soon and then they react to Cobra Kai. I wish more people would react to Cobra Kai, its my favorite show.

0:40, you need to see: Madagascar, Happy Feet, and more importantly Surfs Up.
These movies get better after this one, I think the franchise peaks at the second and third films.
I find it funny holden saying the humans looking like the clones from star wars lol
9:32 that was hilarious 😂

2:42 that squirrels name is scrat.
22:30 May The Force Be With You Always
Storks is one of the funniest animated movies I have ever seen. Features animals and babies so Jen will love it😄
@@porteradam77 they need to watch Boss Baby lol
Those animals talking at the beginning were macrauchenia, they actually existed during the ice age but have no living descendants.
Really hope you guys do the Madagascar movies, they're amazing
LOL JEN JUST WANTED SOME PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my gf just watched this the other day and i still find it hillarious! At least if you watch it for what it is, a movie for children, made in 2002 :D

Ice Age 2 is even better
JEN: GOD DANG IT, SO THERE'S NO PENGUINS?!
I always thought the first two movies were so-so. Ice Age III is absolutely epic, though!
jen was definitely thinking of Madagascar when she thought penguins haha. Still gotta show her it!! Great movie!
😭 this is my comfort movie to watch when I’m sad!! It hurts my soul to see Jen give it a 4!!
The voice cast of this movie is pretty amazing though. Ray Ramono, John Leguozamo, Denis Leary as the main three
The Land Before Time? Loved it as a child.
All the animals are real and their characteristics are somewhat based on the way they would have acted in the time
If you continue this movie series. Things are gonna get crazy
You should definitely watch Madagascar 1 and 2. They are amazing
20:57 those icicles 🥶 are dangerous.
Madagascar, Happy Feet & Surfs Up are animated penguin movies
Yes, watch the whole series. It gets better
I love this movie.
9:31 I wasn’t expecting this 😂😂😂😂😂😂
4:59 you had it right the first time, it’s Leguizamo (“leh-gwih-ZAH-mo” in English, “leh-gee-SAH-mo” in Spanish). He also voices Bruno in the Disney animated movie Encanto.
I just rewatched the movie Rango. I think Jen and Matt would love it. It has good bi gon jim moments and has animals in it
ice age is one of my favorite childhood movies, i can’t believe jen didn’t like it 😭 the 3rd one has always been my favorite tho
Grew up watching it and love the first 4
4:19 as a matter of fact, yes. Because of how cold it was in this part of prehistory, mammals needed more hair to keep themselves warm. Even humans, or at least an ancestor of humans, were much hairier than we are now.
Fun fact: The person who voices Scrat the saber-tooth squirrel is the director of this movie Chris Wedge.
My heart broke when Jen gave it a 4 😢 but it does get better the 2nd movie (the meltdown) and 3rd (dawn of the dinosaurs) are the best ones.
nah Jen gotta watch the other ones cause the animation gets WAYYYYY better... also Jen's eyebrows are ON POINT
Speaking of penguins, you should probably show her happy feet or surfs up. Those are literally my two favorite movies ever!
I will never get used to Jen’s beauty 😍 She looks stunning in every video. I need a hair and makeup tutorial from her so badly!
Ya’ll should watch part 2 and 3. They r definitely the best
I actually like this movie a lot. I gave it a 7-8.
Pretty sure the long neck animal with the trunk is a maruchenia? I could be wrong. Not familiar with my Cenozoic animals. But yeah, all the animals in the film were alive at one point during the Cenozoic era.
Omgggg you guys NEED to do surfs up, an amazing movie overall and it will fill her penguin needs!
I really love Ice Age because it's a fun kid movie with real sad emotions too which they seemed to stop doing in recent years.
SHE WAS THINKING OF MADAGASCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when I was younger my dad bought me my first DVD player and this movie. Still holds up in heart as one of my first movies I’ve owned and got to take care of.
THEY SHOULD WATCH THE MADAGASCAR MOVIES NEXT AS WELL AS THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR MOVIE!
2:41 Scrat is my favorite in the series. 11:12 my nephew did this to my daughter when she was upset and she would bust up laughing.
Hoodwinked is an animated movie I highly recommend. It’s one of those films that isn’t highly known or talked about, most likely for its low quality animation, but it has great story telling and comedic writing. It’s a really good time.
It's one of our favorites due to the characters and story, but I think the rough animation will annoy Jen too much.
Penguins appearing in Ice Age would really make no sense. Not trying to bash Jen over this but she was literally thinking about Happy Feet, Surf’s Up, and the Madagascar films (which you guys should do in the future).

I'd say the Ice Age sequels and the Madagascar movies are on par.
They're all terrible 😆
After the 3rd one they became cash grabs
.Fun fact, Sid's design is extremely stylised to look like a normal sloth, but really his species is actually around the size of elephants. Also, the humans in the movie are Neanderthals, and that's why they look "strange". Humans actually don't refer to Homosapiens, but to all Hominids in general
I think it was implied that Manny was the baby in the paintings and he lost his mom and dad at a very young age. Ever since then, he’s been on his own which is why he prefers to be going solo than part of a herd.
3:45 They're a prehistoric mammal from South America named Macrauchenia.
God, i watched this movie as a kid so many times i can pretty much quote the whole thing. It's so much fun.
Best Movie Very Childhood I Ever Seen
Good beginning to the franchise looking forward to the sequels
Jen is one tough critic 😅
This is my favorite animated franchise ever, and i love the animation style of this one so much. It actually really bums me out that they change it up in the later ones, because it was very unique to this movie and helped it stand out
Shes right i hate her 😂 this movie is my childhood😂 great movie
Holden: Hello everyone my name is Holden Hardmen
Jen: PENGUINSSS!!!!!!
Had me 😂💀
I hope they do the sequels as well
The animation does get better in the following movies, significantly in the 3rd one onwards. This is a great animated series overall. It has good writing and humour overall, and animals, so what’s not to love?
Sadly, the company that made these movies, Blue Sky Studios was closed down in 2021
P.S. The Penguins are from the Madagascar movies
Maybe the mother shielded the baby from the impact of the water and she broke her legs. It was a long fall and there couldve been stones in the water.
When Jen asked what year was this made and you said 2002, I was like, didn't the CGI masterpiece Finding Nemo come out in 2003? Crazy the leap Pixar had over everything else.
Shrek 4 please 😭 you guys are so close to the end 😭
"I didn't care for it. I'd give it a 4/10". Never thought I'd say this... BUT YOU JUST MADE THE LIST! lol
The cave scene foreshadows the rest of the films
Even though a lot of people are recommending Madagascar and Happy Feet (both of which you should react to) I think a great penguin movie you should react to, that is constantly overlooked, is Surf's Up. So good and very funny!
