Ice Age

Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary come together as Manny, Sid and Diego, respectively in this hilarious animation of animal life in the ice age.
Manny is a mammoth, who lives a life as a loner, but has a kind heart. Sid is a an overgrown lazy sloth, who is loyal and very very talkative (even in his sleep) and Diego, a tiger, is the bad guy (initially) who comes along to steal the man-child, but ends up being friends with Manny and Sid.
The movie begins with the mass migration of the animals in the icy land. Then Manny saves Sid from being killed by rhinos. Sid sticks to him for protection and he is incessantly annoying and cacophonous for Manny to take and Manny leaves no stones unturned to get him off his tail and shoot him with sarcasm.
An attack by the tigers on a human camp, causes a baby to be left in the care of Manny. To protect the baby from the tiger, Diego, Manny accepts to help Sid return the baby. How the story ends is sweet.
Throughout the story, the sarcasm, humour and teasing of Manny, Diego and Sid of each other is hilarious and it is commendable of the writers to have come up with such bites. One of my favourite quotes in the movie is when Sid tells to Diego, "Phew! I thought you were gonna eat me" and with a flick of his head Diego replies, "I don't eat junk food".
A must-see movie for humour lovers.
