Mar 17 2008'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' Poster
OK, I've gotten over a lot of my initial anger that Ice Age 3 introduces dinosaurs after mammals, and that they're skyscraper size. Now I'm just a bit annoyed that they stopped there. Why not an even larger, robot dinosaur behind this one, maybe with some U.S. presidents riding on its back? Or just pack all the mammals in a jeep and recreate that chase scene from Jurassic Park, only the dinosaur has the face of Jim Cramer, and it's shouting stock advice. My point is, if you're going to completely ignore historical accuracy, at least have some fun with the blatant stupidity.

The trailer for IA3 that's airing before Horton Hears a Who explains the Dinosaur thing.

I saw the trailer before HORTON HEARS A WHO (B-, by the way). It looked good.
I guess I just don't demand as much accuracy from my children's movies as I should. I mean whoever heard of a talking mammoth --- preposterous.

Scooby, you beat me to that one.
kooky talking mammoths and the like. whoda thunk?

Gotta agree. Saw it before Horton, and the dinosaur isn't nearly so huge. That doesn't explain, however, why it's the *Dawn* of the Dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure dinosaurs came first.

Yeah, the "Dawn" part is still unexplained, but I assume they just wanted a name that sounds epic. I guess it sounded better than "Ice Age 3: OH SHIT SON THERE BE DINOSAURS UNDERGROUND"

I like Argyle's title better than the real one.

Argyle's comment does sound better!
I am going to guess the plot...That squirrel thing crashes through the ice, lands on the dinosaur, it growls at him, he "eeps!", they chase, etc. Then some how all the other things from Ice Age end up underground in the "Dawn of the Dinosaur" land and they find out...the dinosaur really loves them and has a thorn in it's foot. They laugh and sing songs on their way to the "Great Valley"...wait that last part was from The Land Before Time. Oh well, it'll be something like that.

maybe it'll just be like jurassic park with the car chase scene

It will probaly be something stupid like "Dawn" is the name of the dinosaur they meet. Or it's some weird alternate reality version of 'Land of the Lost'...who knows. Hollywood people have been hitting the crack pipe a lot lately.
Anyway...I think they are beating a dead horse making a third one. The first one was cute, but the second one sucked balls.
Oh, Argyle's title is full of win!!!

@7: The original Land Before Time didn't have any songs.

I can see how you would be so angry. I mean, they should have stuck with the original, extremely accurate story line of animals that talk and a saber tooth tiger that is friends with a mammoth. Yeah, they really threw accuracy out the window with this one. Get real. This is a freaking kids movie, and my 4 year old (who is in the target audience age range) loved it.
