In Theatres (Review)-Ice Age:The Meltdown

STORY! STORY! STORY! Why ,Why OH Why cant these people get that straight? Especially in Animation when the film is in production for 3-4 yrs if not more so there shoudl be nothing that isnt thougt through...also when even teh smallest element is under the control of the director/artists!!Then why this crap?Are people sleeping through the production?

Ice Age 2 is GORGEOUS to look at .I might even go to say its one of the most visually simple/beautifully designed CG movie yet...but then whats the point if there is no such thing as a "STORY" or a good reason to make this movie other than to cash in on excisting hit! The jokes are so juvenille and done and cliche!! Though Scrat does provide welcome releif and sometimes Sid too...but,geez!

Whats the excuse this time? Will the filmmakers blame Michael Eisner and "Executive Interferance" for this mess too? Cuase it wont work...wrong studio!..or wait, maybe its Rupert Murdock to blame here.
For too long have animation filmmakers /directors tried to get away by blaming things on exectives..i am sure they did mess up many things...but i dont think its JUST that anymore.
I just feel bad for the aniamtors and other artists who work on such productions. They put so many years of their lives into such products...only to see the storytellers drop the ball at their end!
Its a sad sad sad situation.What a waste of beautiful art and time and money!
