The First Teaser of ICE AGE: RISE OF THE DINOSAURS - in Glorious HD Quicktime!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I've been a huge fan of the initial teaser trailers for the ICE AGE films... Which as shorts - have been vastly superior and successful to the feature films that they advertise. I also tend to prefer the ICE AGE films to the SHREK movies... but I'm still not in love with them. Now we have a new Teaser trailer in HD QUICKTIME - and I was very excited... because well - all the first teasers have been amazing... till this one. This one falls flat to me. It just is nowhere near as funny as the previous two. Then there's the wildly bugnuts concept of Dinosaurs in the ICE AGE... but ya know what - if I'm asking for historical accuracy - I'm just an asshole... so I suppose I'm completely cool with this development. And the dinosaur reminds me of the stop-motion dinosaur character from THE PUPPETTOON MOVIE. Right? Here - you check it out...
Click here for the latest ICE AGE!

...Dinosaurs were extinct looong BEFORE the Ice Age.
-
So much shit today and still no mention of the trouble brewing around Valkyrie and Trick R Treat. With all the hate surrounding Superman Returns at least it would be a lively talkback.
-
this might be good..
or at least my nephews will think so.. -
Yea and there were humans in the first movie so they have threw history right out of the window with this one. But who cares I love blue sky studios animation work so I am willing to look past that. Maybe they are going with the lost world concept since he fell through the ice to a hidden jungle underneath. I guess we will have to wait and see.
-
its pretty much a cavern once he falls.
it's a lot like what ray liotta said in Thank You for Smoking. Just invent a work around and call it good. -
yes your right they were extinct but in the first film we see a T-rex frozen in ice in the second film 2 creatures frozen in ice are unfrozen and attack the group so its not a stretch to go from there with these films ... Personally i like them although the animation on the first is already looking a bit ropey
-
maybe it takes place before the other 2 films? is the voice cast the same?
-
"we are sorry... the content you are trying to play is noit available in your area"
WTF ???
baaaaaaad marketing... this movie already died for me if they dont let me watch the teaser...
-
The squirrel is cool, but come on...three movies?
-
...HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS. One more step in the dumbing down of America
-
The short on the Ice Age 2 DVD is great. A time traveling Scrat would have made a cool third movie. But dinosaurs dying out before the ice age? Next you'll be telling me that mammoths couldn't talk.
-
a sort of, falling down to a lost world, sort of thing? Where the dinos have survived the ages etc etc...
Because if it isn't, then FUCK EM, for mixing up ALOT of years of earth history. -
It's a cartoon....for children. Don't fret about Earth's history. I'm pretty sure the kids will be able to distinguish that it is removed from reality. If not, then they deserve to get the piss taken out of them in school 'cos their parents are hicks. No kid ever felt like a twat in class for declaring that Woolly Mammoths could talk as they seen one do it on Ice Age:The Meltown.
-
Harry, you can't be serious. Although the dubbed voices of Jonathon Ross and Kate Thornton (replacing Larry King and Joan Rivers respectively) did kind of spoil the UK version of Shrek 2.
-
ICE AGE movies are NOT FUNNY. NOT, repeat - NOT FUNNY> No. NO ! N-O-T FUNNY. Horribly NOT funny. Pitiful wasted Pixar wannabes but never, ever will-be's. Ice Age 3 - NOT NOT NOT FUNNY ... for a thrid time. That is all.
-
Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs?! *drop-kicks the franchise*
-
...and more to the point, my five-uear-old daughter liked it too. Surely the whole point of films like this is to take the kids along and watch THEM getting a kick out of it while being occasionally amused yourself. Job done, I'd say...
-
It's for the kids, my 3 year old loves 'em, so who gives a rats arse if they are historically incorrect..really, who gives a shit? Some of you guys really need a reality check. Don't be so fucking serious all the time.
-
That's the only reason I can think of for such scientific inaccuracy.
-
The second one, not so much. However, this "looks" like itcould have potential. Although didn't they square off against a pair of Mesasoic Sea Creatures in the second one?
-
This is stupid. No, I'm not asking for scientific accuracy but fuck man. Haven't there been enough CGI dino films? What about a proto-human film? Imagine a cross between the opening of 2001 and Quest For Fire, but funny and NOT unintentionally funny like 10,000BC and NOT set in modern day California.
-
All these posters here are panning this "cartoon" because isn't scientifically accurate?
The same posters who can't wait to see a guy in an iron suit soar past jets, and a red guy from hell battling monsters, or another guy swinging from roof to roof by shooting spiderwebs?
These are people that expect realism?? As for myself, I'm looking forward to see what direction they're planning to take Skrat and the rest of the gang in next year. -
How can you not like the stunning CGrama that is IceAge!? not quite as 100% sharp as Pixar but not far off.
-
. . . by featuring the Wooly T-Rex from Scooby-Doo. And is this franchise straight to video yet? Like the new Land Before Time?
-
...version of prehistory? Earth only 6000 years old and humans used dinos for transportation. (Odd that the christer version of prehistory is so f***in' similar to The Flintstones...)
-
There are two reasons why Ice Age 3 isn't getting any slack.
First, the first two weren't that good. If they were I think the scientific implausibility would be more easily accepted.
Second, there are people who are actually attempting to teach that all animals were on Earth at once. The image of a Woolly Mammoth and a Dinosaur side by side feeds into these fantasies. Imagine if someone was claiming that The Flinstones should be taught in school as scientific fact. Wouldn't that make that piss you off just a little? -
The trailer was shown before Horton Hears a Who! As was a new extended WALL-E trailer. Granted Horton was a kid's movie, but since this site has done reviews of Grinch and Cat in the Hat I'm sure, someone should have reviewed Horton to compare it to the other two. As it was all CGI, and stayed true to Seuss it was the best of the three.
-
The first Ice Age was mildly amusing. The second was sorta bland and mediocre. A third film does not bode well. I didn't realize it was popular enough for one. But I guess money's money, huh?
-
I can not watch a movie where not even the title is accurate! Give me a break!

There's something very depressing about the Ice Age movies
by the gospel according to bastardface
Maybe it's the fact you know they're ALL DOOMED. And nothing matters because they are all going to die soon. Also they're pretty boring.
-
At this point, as long as it's something my 7 year old will sit through (unlike Schreck 3, which she just got up and wandered off from, marketing tie-ins be damned) it's all love. A third Ice Age jumps the shark, hog ties him and then gang rapes him and while it's nice if these things are entertaining for us bigger kids, I don't get worked up over them. I am, however, sick of Scrat, or whatever the hell the nut rat's name is.
-
...I liked both of the previous Ice Age movies. I'm not saying I paid to see them in the theater or bought them on DVD or anything, but I do enjoy them. This is the part where LaserPants gets on the board and slams the movies for their historical inaccuracies...
-

I haven't seen Part Two yet bit this looks good...
by batman begins sucks ass
...and I'll have to say it should be better than the Dark Knight.
-
A touching story with some good laughs and loveable characters. And it's some of the very rare occasions when the German dubbing improves a whole movie (instead of ruining it)! For any reason the German voice actors seem to had more fun with it than the originals.
The second movie was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as inspired as part 1. But it has a place in my heart for being my most interesting moviegoing experience so far. I was in Canada when I watched it and it was the first time that I saw a movie in a foreign theatre. And I can tell you one thing: This is the first time I've ever hear applaus during and after a movie! (Okay, it wasn't very phrenetic or even long and probably only 1/3 of the whole audience applauded, but it was a very interesting event. I still wish I would have been near a theatre where they played Slither, which came out in the same weekend.) -
...so it's been agressively depressing to see them churning out stinkers like Robots, Horton Hears A Who and Ice Age 2, which WALLOWED in fart and poop and butt jokes. Whatever happened to the inspired Chuck Jones quality of the first Ice Age?
-
You couldn't resist to slip that one in, heh?
-
I enjoyed the first two movies. They were refreshing and new. And the stylistic approach to the the animals were interesting and fun.
As for people believing that Dinos and Ice Age animals lived side by side is about as silly as believing in Edgar Rice Burroughs' subterrain world, "Pellucida", or Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World" is based on fact.
But if religious fundanutalists ever start teaching "Creationism" in our schools here in Wisconsin, I will definitely start home-schooling my boy. -
But wasn't the whole point of the Ice Age franchise to do something BESIDES another dinosaur cartoon? I'd rather they bring humans back into the equation than introducing dinosaurs. Oh well, as long as it features Scrat.
-
Because Dinosaurs and man ... two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have suddenly been thrown into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect? The first one was about a baby and now the Dinosaurs are involved. Retarded.
-
Should have stayed a one off thing. The first one was really good, showing that someone besides Pixar can make a good kids movie still (Dreamworks doesn't count because they may as well just call there movies $ because that is the final AIM). And the sequel was just blah. I don't know why these animation studios haven't learned from Pixar? Make new movies not more sequels. I know Pixar did Toy Story 2, but come on its in the top 5 best sequels.
-
In front of Horton Hears a Who. It'll be fun. But when are they going to write a script around Scratt? That would be some funny shit. Just watching him mug for the camera cracks me up. lol
-
...in Marietta, Ohio, and one of my colleagues there was a Church of Christ fundie dumbass who actually believed in the whole 6,000-year-old Earth deal. Yes, she was a librarian. No, I'm not kidding. No, really, I'm not.
It made for some hilarious (and quite sad) debates at work, let me tell you.
That having been said, I have no problem with hooey like that in movies, books and comics as long as it's not pretending to be non-fiction. -
...."oooh!" and "aaaah!" but then there's running and screaming."

Harry, the film contains animals talking to each other!!!
by big_bubbaloola
But you have a problem with dinosaurs being in it? /facepalm
-
So a wollymamoth, a sabertoothed tiger and a sloth are in a giant hollow tree floating down a river when...
-
Doom on you! Doom on YOU! DOOM ON YOU!!!
-
You should read the creationist, 'Why Aren't There Dinosaurs In The Bible' pamphlet. That shit had me rolling. I don't normally knock one's beliefs but the shit is just so ludicrous I can't help it. -
Ya know, the first one was okay and the rest became exponentially worse like each shit after a Taco Bell binge.
-
Quirky outsider(s) find that the thing that makes them rejects is the thing that makes them special and allows them to save the day.
Smashmouth's "All Star" plays. Everybody dances. The end. -
The bit where he pulls himself over with his eyes made me chuckle and admittedly when I was a kid I never even considered the idea that mammoths and t-rexes might have been seperated by millions of years worth of evolution, so I doubt many will fret about it nowadays either.
-
Looks like we can't count on the Ice Age franchise for scientific accuracy. We'll just have to lower our expectations and treat it as an enjoyable comedy aimed largely at kids. Damn.
-
Did they not see the animal fall through a hole and into some deep cavern in the earth? It's an effing animated film full of fantasy. What the hell is wrong with people. And bitching about your need to home school your kids because of some Creationist agenda in your state ... get a life. Are you so insecure about what you believe you use a fantasy movie to complain about your horrible life? It's a movie, tards. I can't believe you idiots sucked me into commenting about it.
-
for children. Get over yourselves. The idea that science should somehow have domain over entertainment is ridiculous - some of the most retardedly fun movies have divorced themselves from reality years before the ragging against the fundies ever began.
-
guess i shouldnt have put that in the title.

They couldn't have made it more obvious that the dinos in this movie will be of the "Lost World" long-hiddenin-an-underground-cavern variety.
-
Why do studios put out fucking teasers over a year before a film is released? Anyone? Bueller?
-
Ivy Supersonic for her creation of the Scrat character.
I don't care if the movies are Godfather quality...which of course they aren't.
Ivy might be bugnuts crazy, but she did create the character. Fox is just trying to bury her with legal fees. Just pay the crazy bitch and she'll blow all the money on more of her dumb hats and more annoying tattoos. -
...It's a KIDS film, ok?
Hello, McFly? Hello? -
Wait I don't have a 2009 calendar yet! I hate knowing about a movie over a year away.

So you're not a Flintstones fan then Mish & Buck, Cliché etc...

Sticking Dinosaurs in the wrong period for entertainment purposes is a long proud tradition.
Zerocorpse - hey, isn't that the Shrek movies' plots as well? I've been had! -

My God how can you not love pulling himself by his eyeballs
by half vader
or the snout slingshot? Geez Harry. The Ice Age Scrat teasers are as close as we've gotten to a classic WB short for ages.
Maybe you're just mad Harry because everyone on the net had it up an Ice Age before you.
The actual films are stale road/buddy movie crap though, storywise and pacing-wise. Blue Sky are the biggest disappointments to me as if you turn the sound down you'll see the actual animation is the best outside Pixar. They even dumbed down the initial graphic/stylised, jagged look of the first one for 2 and gave 'em regular fur. All such a waste... -
God I hate AOL. What am I gonna do? Take it on the street and sell it?! They DON"T want me to watch it repeatedly??
-
Who says Mammoths and T-Rex's can't co-exist?
I used to put them together all the time as a kid playing with my Marx Plasitc Dinosaur set. Even had little cavemen with it.
That set was so cool. -
Santa Claus isn't real, nor is the Easter Bunny, and Superman if he really existed, which he does not, could not be able to fly. It's called entertainment. Lighten up Francis.
-
I still have my set! Those things were awesome, especially the palm trees with removeable foliage and the animals' names imprinted on their tails or bellies.
-
All Marx toys were cool. I also had the Flintstones Bedrock set.
The one I reeally wanted was the Deluxe Ben Hur Chariot Race Colliseum set, but my parents couldn't affort the whopping cost (then) of $19.99 for it. Nowadsys it's selling for over $500 on ebay. -
Kirby style on the big screen, yes please.
-
Nah, I had the non-deluxe version. My cousin had a massive set with tons more animals and landscape pieces and I hated the bastard for that.
I also still have the little booklet that came with my set with info on each of the animals. Cool stuff. -
Devil Dinosaur was the shit! Devil and Moonboy fighting aliens and giant ants and monsters. Awesome!
-
I know what you mean. My cousin had the ultracool Marx Alamo set with the metal and plastic buildings and Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie figures. I hated him for it, too.
-
Back in the 90s Topps came out with a card set based on "Mars Attacks!" called "Dinosaurs Attacks!" That would be a fun, cheesy movie to see made.
And BTW, Mars Attacks wasn't very good because it didn't have any giant insects in it like the cards. -
I could watch that thing all day.
-
After meeting the dinosaurs the gang save martin luther king from the evil pharoh. After that they battle an army of zombie robot hitler clones whos olny weakness is the power of love and cold fusion. I cant wait!
-
Hey um idiots
THEY OBVIOUSLY FALL THROUGH SOME SORT OF CAVERVEN SYSTEM LIKE IN LAND OF THE LOST AND FIND AN EVEN OLDER PREHISTORIC ECOSYSTEM.
plus...
IT"S A DAMN CARTOON GET OVER IT!
