Mercenary, which is not the quality you want in an animated kids’ flick. This sequel’s prehistoric characters might as well be stretching their paws out for money, because the picture gives them little else to do. Everyone’s back – including Scrat – but they’ve been ordered to work by the studio accounting department, not born of some artistic burst in an animator’s brain. I’d ask for my money back, but I’m not sure how lenient a saber-toothed tiger’s return policy is.
