"Ice Age" tells the story of an unexpectedly human abandoned baby in a dangerous prehistoric Ice Age, three animals that don't fit with each other - the kind-hearted mammoth Manfried, the talkative sloth Cade, and the cunning and murderous saber-toothed tiger Diego.

They have to form a temporary alliance to return this lovable human abandoned baby to his tribe, and there are many jokes and thrills along the way, whether it's the soft-mouthed mammoth Manfried, the chatty sloth Cade, or even the seemingly fierce saber-toothed tiger Diego.

They all used their actions to make the adults and children in the theater laugh and be happy.

Even in the halls of premiere theaters, professional film critics and moviegoers leaned back with laughter. Everyone was attracted by the ups and downs, witty and interesting plots.

The same laughter and laughter were also staged in the 2,000 movie theaters on the premiere day, and both adults and children found it more interesting the more they watched it, and the more they watched it, the more they couldn't extricate themselves.

In the theater of the premiere, the members of Blue Sky Studio sat scattered among them, and the main creator of the film, director Chris Weiqi and others were extremely excited, watching their hard work be shown on the big screen while listening to the laughter of the audience.

Sid turned his head to look at Lindsay, whose eyes were glittering with joy, and Nizi was watching with joy the encounter between Cade the sloth and Manfred the mammoth "no fight, no acquaintance".

When all the 90-minute films were screened, more than 1,000 audience members and guests in AMC's flagship theater couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically. Thunderous applause and whistles silenced the cheerful ending song.

When the cast list scrolled on the screen, Sid, Chris Weiqi and others all stood up with applause, and both film critics and ordinary audience members excitedly thanked them warmly.

"This all-digital animated film, which brings together many cute prehistoric animals, is definitely a film for all ages. The Washington Post couldn't stop its enthusiasm and tried its best to recommend it to its readers.

"Although 'Ice Age' isn't as exciting as 'Toy Story' and not as emotional as 'The Prince of Egypt,' it's very humorous and witty, and it can bring a lot of joy. - "Entertainment Weekly" directly compared Blue Sky Studios with Pixar and DreamWorks.

"The story, characters, dialogue, humor, and voice acting of this film are all top-notch. —The New York Daily News was full of appreciation.

And the Los Angeles Times praised "Ice Age" for its performance, "a brilliant story, characters with personality, second only to Pixar's technology, Blue Sky Studios and their Ice Age have a bright future!"

The New York Times, which competed against each other, did not give Lan Tian any good face this time, saying, "The gentle and cute computer-animated entertainment 'Ice Age' actually looks like a fossil, a product left over from other eras." ”

The Chicago Reader newspaper said in a critical tone: "This animated movie is very good, except for the dull, marionette version of humanity in it." ”

As for the New York Post, it was even more unceremoniously said: "Almost everything in 'Ice Age' has proven to be disappointing." ”

But interestingly, this time, few people are finding fault with blue sky technology anymore, and the Los Angeles Times even says that they have technology second only to Pixar. The reason is that after Sid moved Blue Sky to California, Chris Wetch supplemented a large number of technical talents with the help of Shirley Sandberg.

This is why this "Ice Age" has been reduced to the existence of "winning by story alone".

Although there are a small number of negative media reviews, the large number of positive reviews of "Ice Age" from the audience still occupies the absolute upper hand.

Reflected at the box office, "Ice Age" is on Thanksgiving Day, a season of family reunion.

On the day of its premiere, it earned a staggering $13 million at the box office, and the next Saturday it did not fall but rose, beating all the way with $19 million, and on Sunday of the third day, the film again shocked the crowd with $13 million.

In the end, the box office reached an astonishing $46 million in the first three days of the first weekend, successfully landing at the top of the North American box office charts!

But this is just the beginning, "Ice Age" won $41 million in the second week, and $28 million again in the third week, and in just three weeks, the North American box office of "Ice Age" successfully exceeded 100 million!

This made various film companies that have been paying close attention to Blue Sky and Fire Lion can't help but be surprised. Whether it was Fox, who was still cursing Sid, or Disney and DreamWorks, who were watching coldly, their little hearts couldn't stop twitching.

For Blue Sky Studios, the huge success of "Ice Age" has finally dissipated the worries hanging over their heads.

Although Sid and Fire Lion were both ambitious in 3D animation before, before "Ice Age" was released, two teams were formed in one go and two projects were carried out at the same time.

But even Chris Witch can't help but secretly worry about what will happen to Blue Sky Studios if "Ice Age" fails?

In the weeks leading up to the release of "Ice Age," he barely slept soundly for a day.

"Oh, yes? I slept soundly. Old man Charles raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then laughed wickedly.

"Old man, I'm not like you, I'm just a normal person. Chris Witch smiled as if he had surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to play tricks on you. Old man Charles blinked narrowly, and then looked at the jubilant people of Blue Sky Studio in the hall.

This is the headquarters of Blue Sky Animation in Oxnard, and in order to celebrate the great success of Ice Age, the Fire Lion naturally helped them throw a big celebration party. The animators who had been working for a long time finally showed a relaxed smile, and Old Man Charles even saw Chris Meledandley in the crowd.

"By the way, how is Meledandri's performance?" asked Old Man Charles seemingly casually, and Sid specially asked people to recruit the cadres under his command.

"Well, how to put it. Chris Wetch thought for a moment and said: "He actually has a lot of talent, but he was exposed to traditional 2D animation before, and now it will take a while to get used to 3D animation." He was helping out in Group A of Ice Age, and now I've moved him to Group B of Madagascar as one of the executive producers. ”

"Well, that's fine. Old man Charles nodded, "Sid is still more concerned about him, you can exercise him well, and it will come in handy in the future." "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
