In order to stand out from the crowd of 3D animated fare currently assaulting the box office you need to create a cast of charming characters in a world that is unique, throw in a witty script with lots of visual invention. The bar 20th Century and director and Ivce Age veteran Carlos Saldanha have to overcome has been set very high with the likes of Up and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs this year alone, and Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, released this week on Blu-ray and DVD, succeeds on many levels.
When the film was released earlier in the year we reviewed it here, and it was a positive review. The film’s cast has a great hold on the characters and the visual fizz and momentum makes for an eye popping experience. It’s a wild ride that I found a lot to like,

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs – DVD Review

I’d never been introduced to the Ice Age films until this most recent outing. Oh sure, I’d heard of them and was mildly interesting in seeing the first one, but for whatever reason I never got to it. The first did receive pretty decent reviews while the second was pretty much reviled by anyone under seven. Fox still thinks there’s an appeal (or they heard the term “Strike!”) and have decided to give us a third entry in the franchise.
And I’m sure the film will play well to kids, as well it should. It’s not exactly a terrible movie, but it’s not without it’s problems either. The biggest one in my opinion stems from how unnatural the actors seem to be at times. A couple of times I felt the actors were talking “at” each other rather than “to” each other. The

Cast: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Simon Pegg
Running Time: 1 hr 35 mins
Rating: PG
Due Out: October 27, 2009
Plot: Manny the mammoth, (Romano) Sid the megatherium, (Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Leary) are back for a third adventure that has them exploring through an underground world of dinosaurs. Along the way they meet Buckminster, (Pegg), a somewhat psychotic weasel who is set on taking down a giant beast named Rudy.
Who’S It For? Because they don’t likely have an adequate grasp on the idea of quality at a single digit age, kids will enjoy the breeziness of this movie. Parents will get a good nap in, possibly dreaming about watching an earlier Ice Age movie, or hell – or even more likely, a Pixar film.

Fox Home Entertainment has sent over the full details on the now confirmed October 27 release of Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs on Blu-ray Disc and DVD.
The third Ice Age film starring the voice talent of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary tore up the summer office with the help of 3D which accounted for a large number of tickets sold. As with Monsters vs Aliens, 3D is being kept off the Blu-ray Disc edition until 3D at home technology has caught up with what's available theatrically.
Ice Age 3 on Blu-ray will benefit from a 1.85:1 1080p transfer, 5.1 DTS-hd Master Audio and a digital copy and DVD version packed onto a second and third disc. A full list of bonus features is as follows:
Ice Age Story Maker
Filmmaker Commentary
Evolution Expedition
