Ice Age (2002) 
Darwin Humor
|
I showed this to a class last week. While it is not in the class of Toy Story or Finding Nemo, I found myself enjoying this prehistoric Three Men and a Baby. My personal favorite character was Diego the Sabretooth Tiger, though I was dissappointed that he came back at the end. What a cop out! I was confused by the Sloth’s prowess at winter sports and would have liked to see more lazy Sloth jokes. I enjoyed the evolution jokes even though some of them didn’t quite make sense.
There is also an interplay between predator and prey throughout the film that I find interesting. They talk about some of these contradictions a little bit and I think the message is of acceptance of place in the food chain. Social ties to friends and cute babies seem to trump natural emnities. I am not quite sure what this means, but it got me thinking a little bit.
is all you do in class is watch movies? damn seattle school system.

For your information, I had one group of kids for 5 periods a day three days in a row and only watched one and a half movies in that time.
On the other hand, I have written my last five reviews while watching films in class.
