Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas (2011)

Such a frustrating disappointment

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is a half-hour Christmas special featuring the Ice Age gang, which came out between films 3 and 4. Well.. it's really more of a 20-minute movie actually if you don't count the credits. Manny makes a statement about some of the gang being on Santa's naughty list as they did not behave too well recently, so Sid, Crash, Eddie and Peaches are worried and go on a journey to find Santa, check the list and maybe convince him that they don't belong on the list, so Christmas will happen for them too. On the road to Santa, of course lots of mishaps and entertaining fails occur, some of them involving a clumsy reindeer they meet. It's all Christmasey this time, almost a bit too much. They make their own Christmas tree, keep singing carols and finally not only meet Santa, but destroy Christmas and rescue it and all this in only 20 minutes. It certainly does not come as a surprise as the snowiest and iciest of animation franchises currently also has a Christmas special now. It's all decent entertainment and I liked the fact how Manny basically is taught during this short film that there actually is a Santa and that there also is a naughty list. Of course, in the end everybody is happy and nobody is on the naughty list anymore. By the way, Scrat also gets some screen time right at the beginning mostly, but not so much this time. Still, you can check out his short films for that. Obviously, it's fairly difficult to create any Christmas relevance with a character that does not speak and is only always on the hunt. The rest is very much worth watching though and recommended to the fans of the Ice Age franchise.

When Sid accidentally destroys Manny heirloom Christmas rock and ends up on Santa's naughty list, he leads a hilarious quest to the North Pole to make things right and ends up making things much worse. Now it's up to Manny and his prehistoric posse to band together and save Christmas for the entire world!This was really good short movie, there were very nice plot, which was very well writtenThey also had some very funny moment in this movie, which Jokes that to do work for both Adults and kids will laugh, The animation was very well made and creative and very fun to watch with the whole family

This short animation is about a young mammoth going to the North Pole to search for Santa Claus because she wants to prove to her father that Santa Claus exists.Just as you think all tales about Christmas have been told, "Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" comes up with yet another idea regarding the festive season. The animation is fun and entertaining. The characters are cute as usual, and they are up to much merry, harmless mischiefs. The atmosphere of the animation is warm, positive and has a strong family theme. The ideas about how Christmas traditions come about in the Ice Age world is fun as well, making it a great film for children.

wow..came up with a new idea about Christmas. Flying deer,Santa on north poll..it is all like a dream story. it dragged me into my childhood. movie is just half an hour long. but all the characters are nice and cute. Specially "Peaches", she is cute,daring and spicy like her mother. In the Trailer of Ice Age 4,there is a new idea of "Continental Drift". The same is here. A short movie like this is very enjoyable. i recommend everyone to see this "short" movie, specially when you are in stress.The end of the movie is just awesome. Overall its a nice movie. And "Welcome Peaches...to the Ice Age"
