Trivia:
Before Buck starts to escort the herd to rescue Sid in the underworld he says "abandon hope all ye who enter there", a reference to the inscription above the gates to hell according to Dante Alighieri, Italian poet and author of Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The dinosaurs famously died out millions of years before animals such as the woolly mammoth and saber-toothed tiger appeared. However it's stated in the movie that the dinosaurs they find are a few that managed to survive underground, and that the mammals thought they were extinct. more

Ice Age 3 is the return of true family films, 11 July 2009
10/10
Author: bearfaceproductions from Puerto Rico

Ice age 3 was really funny and it stays true to the series. Same old characters, a whole new adventure that everyone at any age can enjoy.

I saw the critics and I thought to my self that it would be good, but I didn't expect much, but I really did enjoy it more than I thought. It may not be the best compared to the other Ice Age films, but it still a great thrill ride that the audience can enjoy.

And if you find a theater near you that has it in digital 3D, go and watch it in 3D, because the action and adventure will excite you even more than it actually does.

Normally people think since it's a third part, then the movie won't be that great, but hear me when I say that keep that thought out of your mind and parents, take your kids with you, they are sure to leave with a smile and a long lasting excitement for more.

100% enjoyable, its a 10!
