Third ICE AGE Trailer is now Up!!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I love the stylistic look of the ICE AGE animations... there is a definite style that sets it apart from the work we've seen from PIXAR as well as the PDI guys. There's a slight cubist charm to the characters, giving them a more chiseled look. I love the Chuck Jones / Bob Clampett / Tex Avery sense of humor that they seem to be miming here. I love the intensity of the violence to the little timber-woodchuck looking thing. Violence to cute furry creatures with facial tics are very very very good. I like that. That character just rules, and I hope he doesn't talk for the duration of the film.... just that jumbled whiney mumbles. Well, here's the link to their THIRD Theatrical Trailer, go enjoy.... This looks fun, and besides when this movie hits, apparently we get a new STAR WARS theatrical trailer that will be the bomb from what I hear. So BONUS!!!!! Here ya go...
Wanna see the last of the dodos?

While this isn't going to be as good "Toy Story" or "A Bug's Life", this looks like it might be fun. I laughed at each one of these trailers, which is rare. Let's just hope this isn't snipette fever. I would hate to think the only funny parts of this flick are being shown online.

I'm waiting patiently for this movie. It's looking very funny. Did anyone else notice that the animation looked crisper in this trailer than the other two? Maybe it's just me.
-
Does anyone else think this is stupid? SHREK did it too. Its not really the actor, its just their voice. . .
-
I agree with Monterey Jack. Especially on the James Woods thing. There should definitely be a category for best voice work. It just makes sense.
-
when lots of times animated pictures are some of the best of the year. Look at Shrek, Monsters, Inc., and Waking Life. Three marvelous films, and the Academy's shoehorning them into a category so that they don't have to deal with them. And voice work should be treated just like acting. Has anybody ever seen the actors in those booths . . . they ACT. Act WELL.

All three of these trailers have been very funny. And I have to agree with the posters who say that voice actors in animated films should get get credit in the promo materials. Why not? There have been some great performances given in animated films over the years. The aforementioned James Woods in "Hercules", Hanks and Allen in "Toy Story", Goodman and Crystal in "Monsters, Inc.", Robin Williams in "Aladdin", Jeremy Irons in "Lion King", Woody Allen in "Ants", etc. It's really a shame that the academy waited so long to start acknowledging the films themselves. Idiots. Besides, knowing that a certain actor has contributed to a film may pull some of that actor's audience into a film that they may have otherwise skipped.

Bring on the Ice Age.

usually my reaction to non-Pixar cg films is "why do they even bother?" but this looks charming enough. the tag line "from sub-zero to hero" is ridiculously bad, but if they couldnt even come up with a good tag line for Lord Of The Rings, then i guess all the good tag lines must have been already thought of. as for crediting the voice actors, this is the first of the three trailers (so far as i can recall) to do so, and this is an eclectic enough cast that crediting them isn't a star-power ploy so much as it is just simply informative. i couldn't pinpoint who the voices were before, and now i know. unlike Shrek, where it was evident from the first few seconds that Myers and Murphy were the voices. oh god did Shrek ever suck. when's the next Pixar? we have to wait another year, don't we? god dammit.

I saw this film last week on video projection, and I can tell ya Harry, he doesnt speak and he is one of the absolute highlights in the film. The version I saw didnt have credits yet, but imdb listed Jack Black as one of the voices. Im buggered if I can figure out who he plays. Does anyone else know? By the way, the film is great. Absolutely pisses on 'Dinosaur'.
-
As in, cheaper animation. Just FYI.
-
I am usually able to forget that a famous actor is doing my CGI characters' voices...Tom Hanks just becomes Woody, John Goodman just becomes Sully...but does anyone else think that Ray Romano's voice is completely distracting and doesn't seem to match the character or the movie at all? It seems like the studio thought "Slow animal, slow voice...Ray Romano!" But, for some reason, it really doesn't work for me. All the other voices are good, though.

That "little timber-woodchuck looking thing," as you call it, is a primitive squirrel from the Ice Age. In other words, it's a saber-toothed squirrel. Sheesh -- look it up, dude!

Check out the third paragraph from the bottom.

"...we don't subdivide our curved surfaces into little polygonal facets as many other software programs do. We render patch surfaces by directly solving the ray intersection, which keeps memory demands down, and avoids approximations that create difficulties with shadow artifacts and edge quality."
