Rating: ★★
Jul 17, 2009Animation/Prehistoric Talking Animals
Another of Blue Sky Studios' interminable animated sequels to its likeable original about prehistoric talking animals. This has little substance beyond a kinetic rush from one gag to the next

Rating: ★
Jul 20, 2012Animation/Prehistoric Talking Animals
This is not a film, it is a money-making machine in the guise of a film aimed squarely at undiscerning family audiences that plays to familiar characters and comic routines and has minimal difference to the preceding three Ice Age films

May 31, 2013Animation/Miniature Adventures Among the Leaf People
The animated films of Blue Sky Studios (the people behind the Ice Age sequels) have become so formulaic they have been drained of any spark of originality or creativity. This feels more like a series of test-marketing cues than a film

Apr 25, 2014Animation/Talking Macaws
I hate the utterly formulaic films of Blue Sky Studios, the ones behind the endless Ice Age sequels. That said, this is one of their more enjoyable – despite a plot that is amazingly busy trying to reintroduce characters from the first film, the screen overflows with colourful exuberance

The Peanuts Movie (2015)
Rating: ★★
Feb 1, 2016Animation/Comic-Strip Adaptation
The comic-strip Peanuts is a wryly whimsical depiction of childhood. The movie version has been taken up by Blue Sky Studios, the ones guilty for the repetitive sequelitis that most modern animation has descended to – somehow you suspect that Charles Schulz's intention wasn't to reduce it to a series of slapstick set-pieces

Spies in Disguise (2019)
Rating: ★★★
Mar 8, 2020Animation/Spy Transformed Into a Pigeon
Animated film that has the madcap premise of a top spy (voiced by Will Smith) transformed into a pigeon. A film that comes with such a level of comedic energy that it makes you think all hope is not lost for Blue Sky Studios, the makers of the interminable Ice Age films.
