Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

Went for dim sum lunch buffet at Dragon Gate Restaurant in Harbourfront Centre earlier today with Qy and Ys. $14.80++ per pax turned out to be $19 per pax with the addition of wet towels, peanuts, service charge and gst. I would not have complained about the price if the food was good anyway.

Went to watch Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs after lunch. The review and synopsis are as follows.

The characters from the Ice Age series are back with Scrat still trying to catch the ever-elusive nut; Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he brings back some dinosaur eggs. The gang ventures into a mysterious underground dinosaur world where they have to overcome many obstacles to rescue the hapless Sid.

Ice Age 3 is a family friendly show that is not only funny but wildly entertaining. In Ice Age 1 and 2, Scrat had been the scene stealer with his over the top antics and comical edge. In Ice Age 3, the ante is upped with the addition of Scrat's nemesis cum lover, generating even more humour this time round. The characters in this animation are lively and full of charm, especially the baby dinosaurs which are guaranteed to melt all the hearts of the audiences.

Ice Age 3 provides a conventional story about heroes overcoming many setbacks to save the victim. However, the adventure journey is fun, enjoyable and definitely heartwarming.
