'Ice Age: Dawn

of the Dinosaurs'

Comedy, PG, 87 min.

This is the third and barely-more-than-middling-funny installment in the series of animated features about the prehistoric adventures of Manny (voiced by Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary) and Sid (John Leguizamo), a woolly mammoth, saber-toothed tiger and ground sloth stuck in a snow-bound world. Simon Pegg makes a nice acerbic addition to the cast as Buck, a one-eyed weasel who carries a sharpened dino tooth for a dagger and acts as a guide when our heroes discover a tropical world of dinosaurs under all that ice. But the movie feels manufactured, a product not of evolution - or even intelligent design - but of cynical, soulless opportunism. Contains cartoon violence and toilet humor.
