Ice Age

Manny the mammoth, Sid the loquacious sloth, and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger go on a comical quest to return a human baby back to his father, across a world on the brink of an ice age.

Ice Age landed in solidly mixed-to-decent territory with critics who found it cheerful and functional but rarely more than that — competent computer-animated entertainment that charmed without distinguishing itself from the Shrek and Monsters, Inc. wave hitting screens at the same time. Audiences warmed to it considerably more than critics did, and the film's popular legacy has outpaced its initial critical standing.
