The animation seemed stiff and generic. It seems Ice Age was better off with Collision Course than this. Everything about this movie seemed unnatural and it strayed away from the nature of the Ice Age world and the personality of each character was so unlikely from the movie we used to love. This movie is nothing like the Ice Age series and it's a crime to be titled as an Ice Age movie. Scrat's absence is a minor issue, but straying from the essence of the original concept and the dialogue that's more fitting for a five-year-old television series is what made this movie a flop.
