The fourth installment of the franchise features the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Wanda Sykes, Peter Dinklage, Queen Latifah, and Jennifer Lopez. Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger, along with Sid's pesky granny, embark upon another adventure when their continent breaks apart and they are separated from the rest of their herd, which includes Manny's wife Ellie and daughter Peaches. When their iceberg float is "captured" by Captain Gut and his odd crew, the gang must outsmart the pirates and find their way home before its too late. As always, the highlight of this film is the hilarious Sid, with the welcome addition of his granny. Sid remains one of my favorite animated characters, so my level of tolerance for some of the absurdities in the story is quite high, simply because I'm too busy laughing at Sid to mind. This film, however, was definitely an improvement over the forgettable second and third films, though the first remains unmatched. Still, it is an entertaining and silly but enjoyable family film.
