Comments on Movie: Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)
"Like its predecessors, is much too friendly to dislike, and its vision of interspecies multiculturalism is generous and appealing." - A. O. Scott, New York Times.
"The best bits are basic and all but voiceless: those Scrat-intensive set pieces, still inspiredly squirrelly if much too far apart." - Jonanthan Kiefer, Village Voice.
"Will perhaps be a delight for little kids." - Roger Ebert, rogerebert.com.
"It's only a wish that with the inevitable fifth instalment, the screenwriters would work more closely with the directors to create a film that's every bit as heart-warming as it is visually august." - Jamie Neish, EmptyScreens.com.
"Plenty of historical and mystical humour; this film will certainly charm you, if you allow yourself to enjoy the Ice Age adventure that is." - Rosalyn Lim.

Favorite Movie Character
They think we're screw-ups and we can't do anything right.
This is difficult to choose as there are more distinct characters introduced. I am always fond of cats like Diego, but there are also adorable hamsters and sirens this time around....
However, the most stand out character in my opinion is Granny!
I find this Granny uncompromising, she won't hesitate to speak her mind. She might be bitter but she is funny as she don't perceive certain situations the same way as others did and she also owns a gigantic pet whale named Precious which none of her family member believed it exist.
Lastly, age doesn't always equal to wisdom but I feel older people has experienced more and know what we don't because they have lived earlier and longer than us so this is character also a tribute to old people! Compared to other sloth, Granny is definitely wiser!
Hope she is still one of the cast in next film because she is hilarious!
Thanks to Springfieldx2 for the movie transcript.
- Whatever it is, it's miles away.
- No teenager is ever up early.
- Relax, it's just where the kids hang out.
- She's not going to be your little girl forever.
- My idea of fun isn't risking death so that you can meet some cute mammoth.
- We're going home where I can keep an eye on you.
- Has anyone seen Precious? It's her feeding time.
- Bad kitty!
- Okay, so tell me, when exactly will I be allowed to hang out with boys?
- When I'm dead, plus three days. Just to make sure I'm dead.
- Now, who should I eat first?
- I never thought I'd see my little baby again. We've been searching everywhere for you.
- We totally abandoned you. But we always missed you. Right?
- I'll bury you all and dance on your graves.
- She can't wait to spend time with you, Sid.
- Not interested.
- It didn't make sense, but it sure was exciting.
- They only wanted to find you so you could take care of Granny.
- Wow. For an old girl, she moves fast.
- Perfect is such a strong word. Maybe adequate.
- Manny told us to keep an eye on you but not to let you see us under any circumstances.
- Am I interrupting something?
- You! Keep away from my daughter.
- Stay alive! No matter how long it takes, I will find you!
- What if I never see him again? And the last thing we did was fight.
- He'll come back for us. That's a promise.
- You know, my mother once told me that bad news was just good news in disguise.
- Even though things look bad... there's a rainbow around every corner.
- We're not leaving without you.
- You don't leave a friend behind.
- If I don't make it... find me a wife, and tell her I love her.
- Hey, there really is a rainbow around every corner!
- We still have each other. Things could be worse, right?
- Granny? You're alive!
- You slept through that storm?
- I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns.
- This is my first bath in decades.
- What are you peeping toms all looking at? A lady can't take a bath in peace? Eyeballing me like a rump roast.
- What's the life expectancy for a female sloth?
- That's a little... salty.
- If you mean the imaginary, or perhaps deceased, pet that you keep searching for, no, I haven't.
- I love a terrible turn of events.
- You know these waters are infested with pirates. Right, boys?
- I hope you said goodbye because there's no way back.
- No one's going to stop me from getting back to my family.
- Such a nice boy. Why can't you be more like him, Sidney?
- You all got some ugly goldfish.
- My bounty!
- They sunk our battleship. What are we going to do? We're all going to drown.
- You're a sea creature, you idiot.
- No, go away. I'd rather drown.
- Whatever the lady wants.
- Don't call me "kitty."
- If they kiss, I'm going to puke.
- I've never seen a mammoth sleep like that.
- Honestly, a little scared. Okay, a lot scared. Everything we knew is gone.
- Baby, I know you like this one... but just don't let anyone change who you are, okay?
- Granny, why didn't our family want us? What's wrong with us?
- They think we're screw-ups and we can't do anything right.
- Food! I missed you so much!
- Well, that's a flawless plan. You want to pirate a pirate ship from pirates.
- Wait a minute, maybe we can help each other.
- How about you and us against the pirates, huh?
- I don't need anything from you.
- Fine, die of thirst. That will really show me.
- I happen to be a remorseless assassin.
- Nothing, I just know how hard that is... walking away from everything you know.
- Oh, great, are we going to braid each other's fur now?
- We both might have wanted out of pack life... but at least I didn't trade one pack for another.
- I got something more. A herd. We have each other's backs.
- He has no idea what he's up against.
- Yes, sir. Totally focused, sir.
- Don't worry. It'll be easy since we don't have to guard Shira anymore.
- You're a failure. I need warriors, and all I have are kitty cats and bunny rabbits. And a seal and a kangaroo.
- You take the saber down, or you die trying.
- Oh, please. I know my berries. If there's one thing I know, it's berries.
- One thing, Sid. You couldn't do one thing?
- You don't understand. I don't have a choice.
- That mammoth has taken my ship... my bounty... and now the loyalty of my crew. I will destroy him and everything he loves.
- Can I ask you guys something? How are you both so happy? Doesn't it weigh on you that the world might be ending?
- Can I tell him our secret? Come here. Come here... We're very, very stupid.
- Stress is so stressful.
- Yeah, girl, if you're going to stress about something, stress about your hair.
- Bad enough? There is nothing bad about being part of my family.
- If you geniuses are normal, this species is going to end up extinct.
- We're the same species, genius.
- I had so many things trapped inside of me that I couldn't say.
- I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't eat, can't sleep. Maybe I'm coming down with something.
- It starts with "L," ends with "E."
- Denial is the clincher. You're in love, pussy cat!
- I adore a sloth who cares nothing about personal hygiene.
- Come to me, Granny.
- The wrinklier the raisin, the sweeter the fruit.
- Granny likey. Granny likey very much.
- No, they're not real. They're monsters! They're sirens. Don't listen to them!
- Sid... I have a snack for you.
- Granny, can't you throw imaginary food to your imaginary pet?
- Ignore them, Precious.
- You can't take your eyes off her for one minute.
- It's like having a child. Only without any of the joy.
- Cute boys can whiplash your brain. No doubt about that. But Ethan was the wrong guy. And you figured it out. You'll know what to say to Louis.
- What are the odds? We were just talking about you.
- You like the new ship? I call her Sweet Revenge.
- Good day, mate. You remember us? We're the bad guys.
- You destroyed everything I had. I'm just returning the favor.
- He's going to get himself killed.
- How cute, a hero. Let's see what bravery gets you.
- You waiting for a formal invitation, fancy pants? Get in.
- Your little bunny nose wiggles in the cutest way when you're mad.
- Your nine lives are over, kitty.
- Silly rabbit... piracy doesn't pay.
- She did it. My daughter's all grown up. That's my girl.
- You know, this ocean isn't big enough for the both of us.
- Mission accomplished, Granny.
- Who says old ladies can't drive?
- You know, Sid... you're not such a screw-up. You're a hero.
- Hey, you. I can't believe you did that for me. Thank you.
- Someone once told me, no matter what... you never leave a friend behind.
- All this sweetness is going to rot my teeth. If I had any.
- When you two get off this ship, I expect you both to have fun. You're a brave kid, Weiner.
- You two should go out and explore. Go where the day takes you. But be back before sunset.
- She's not my little girl anymore.
- You know, Sidney? You've got yourself a nice family, here. A real family.
- Welcome, brother. Behold, Scratlantis.
- Brother, rise above this base desire. Be more than a rodent.
