Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas

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.

I enjoyed the first two movies, was mixed on the third and liked Scrat's Continental Crack-Up. I was anticipating Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas, and found it did live up to expectations. While short, perhaps a little too short, it is festive and fun, with the animation as great as ever especially in the beautifully detailed backgrounds and the music jaunty and putting you in the mood for the festive season. The writing even with the odd forced moment is mostly witty and funny(with Diego having the best lines), and the story is engaging and heart-warming with a warm atmosphere. I have always liked the characters and they are still entertaining, with Scrat stealing every scene he's in and Peaches is adorable, and the voice acting is solid across the board.

All in all, a lot of fun and perfect for the Christmas season. 8/10 Bethany Cox

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"

The Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas was a pleasant watch. It's nothing groundbreaking, but as a Christmas special, it delivers exactly what it promises. There's no deep character development or major revelations, but that's expected for this type of movie. What I really enjoyed was seeing Manny's daughter and how she's grown - it's nice to follow this character progression. The special also captures each character's essence, presenting their personalities faithfully and creating a connection with the original franchise. In the end, it's a fun and light addition to the series, a film that preserves the spirit of the franchise and brings nostalgic moments for fans who have followed the other movies.

This is quite decent Christmas Special in the manner of films that precede it and at about the same level. Not so original, but satisfying fun. If you wonder how Santa Claus got the flying reindeer and you have twenty minutes to spare, take a look.
