Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas

My family loves movies so it’s no surprise that during the holidays we love to get our hands on all the new and exciting Christmas movies! This year the whole family sat down to watch Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas. My five year old was so excited about this one, having already saw the previous Ice Age movies that he insisted on wearing his Ice Age pajamas to watch the show!


A brief synopsis-
In ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS, America’s favorite arctic herd is busy decorating for the holiday season.  In his rush to help, Sid (John Leguizamo) destroys Manny’s (Ray Romano) favorite decorations.  Manny is so upset he convinces Sid he is now on Santa’s naughty list.  Sid, Crash (Seann William Scott), Eddie (Josh Peck) and Peaches (Ciara Bravo) take off for the North Pole to plead their case to Santa (Billy Gardell).  Meanwhile, Manny, Ellie (Queen Latifah) and Diego (Denis Leary), worry over Peaches’ safety and race to find her.  Back at the North Pole, Sid and his crew accidentally destroy Santa’s Workshop on Christmas Eve, and it’s up to these newfound friends to orchestrate a Christmas miracle.

I’ll be honest, I actually didn’t love this one and neither did my husband. More than once we gave eachother sideways glances while watching and I was kind of relieved when the two little guys lost interest quickly and went off to play instead. It wasn’t exactly a warm and fuzzy holiday movie, there was a fair bit of name calling and general over all grumpiness, even from Santa. The movie also raises the question of whether or not Santa is real and well, my guys are so young that this really hasn’t occurred to them yet and I would have preferred for it to stay that way for a few more years. My 5 year old did like it and we all had a few good laughs throughout, but it’s probably not one we will be pulling out to watch over and over again. I have heard other families say they liked this one, so maybe we are just picky about our Christmas movies lol Judge for yourself!
