All six 11 year olds loved it. A slow start; the rest fast moving. Great family values, friendships and relationships, and a few laughs. Very positive and sweet. Predictability -- a plus for a family movie. Love Sid and the new characters. The 3D doesn't take advantage of objects popping off the screen, but it does give a warm feeling as if we are a part of the movie. We all think it is the best Ice Age and a great stand alone!
