The filmmakers know what's given this series longevity, so sticking with Sid, Manny and Diego - with little doses of Scrat mixed in - helps keep this story warmly familiar. The story wisely doesn't become all about Peaches, either. This allows her to interact with the characters on a different level - and become more of a play pal for the possums, Crash & Eddie. In this particular tale, the story takes place probably a year or so after the previous adventure, with Manny and Ellie's daughter Peaches already being a little bit older and talking. With a running time of just 25 minutes (sadly, four of those minutes are uneventful, slow-scrolling end credits!), the animated short makes for a lean Christmas offering, in the style of many other animated holiday specials that have aired throughout the years. In the meantime, the studio has released Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special, keeping the characters fresh in fans' minds and giving them a new holiday favorite to revisit each year for years to come.Ī Mammoth Christmas Special first aired on television just days before making its home entertainment debut as a DVD and Blu-Ray combo pack release. After the series' third - and arguably best - installment, Dawn Of The Dinosaurs, two years ago, the studio has been putting the finishing touches on its fourth film, Continental Drift (which is scheduled to release on July 13, 2012). Since making its debut with the first film nine years ago, FOX's Ice Age franchise has grown increasingly more successful. Movie Reviews (Main) > Movie Reviews (Main).
