There’s something just so darn likable about
Manny, Diego and Sid – voiced by Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo –
that they could make a movie about them doing almost anything and it would be
worth watching. Thankfully the folks at Sony Animation have higher ambitions
for their primary franchise and while this latest chapter may not live up to
its predecessors in terms of story or character, it’s certainly entertaining
enough to be better than most of the family movies (animated and not so
animated) released this year. The basic plot of the story is, as the title
indicates, the shifting of the Teutonic plates of the earth to form the continents.
Out three heroes, and a selection of minor, but still funny characters, get
caught in the shift, are separated from their loved ones and then have to find
a way back. The ending may never be in doubt but there is enough adventure
along the way to make you cheer when everyone is reunited.
