At least Scrat gets more screen time than ever (and if there's an animated creature bound to tickle every single member of the audience's funny bone, it's the Sisyphean Scrat). The new setting (at sea) doesn't leave room for much breathtaking animation, but the action sequences are pretty spectacular in 3-D, even if the story is a little flimsy.

The original threesome is now middle-aged, and with their age come new problems, particularly for overprotective father Manny. This isn't the most inspired film in the series, but these characters are like comfort food - pleasingly familiar.
