Synopsis

Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon their greatest adventure after cataclysm sets an entire continent adrift. Separated from the rest of the herd, they use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which launches them on an epic seafaring quest. Manny and the gang are challenged like never before to become heroes and do the impossible, as they encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. Scrat's reunion with his beloved but cursed acorn catapults him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before.

Critics' reviews

"The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat-a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3-D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Continental Drift', like its predecessors, is much too friendly to dislike, and its vision of interspecies multiculturalism is generous and appealing"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"This fourth installment featuring the computer-animated, prehistoric critters is aimless and derivative. While the first Ice Age movie in 2002 was inventive and cute, there's far too little here that's fresh (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"It's not very funny, but your kids might like it (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"With the fourth film, the Ice Age family animation franchise is looking almost extinct. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
