"Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" review by Suzanne
Premieres Thanksgiving (Thursday, 11/24) at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
An encore airs Friday, Dec. 16 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT).

This is a really fun Christmas special. It's not overly sentimental, and it is actually really funny, even for adults. I have never seen any of the Ice Age movies, so I have been missing something good. I will have to go buy them now.

In this special, which they are showing on FOX during the holiday season, Manny and his family prepare to celebrate Christmas. His son gets upset when Manny says there is no Santa, so he and others head off to the North Pole to find him. The animation is really good, and there are lots of great jokes.

You don't want to miss this one if you like fun Christmas specials. It's sure to be a classic. Of course, they are also coming out with the new Ice Age movie, Continental Drift, so there is some cross-promotion going on here. Fine with me since they seem to be quality entertainment.

See a clip!

The all-new animated special, ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS, airing this Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 24 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS, America’s favorite arctic herd is busy decorating for the holiday season. In his rush to help, SID (John Leguizamo) destroys MANNY’s (Ray Romano) favorite decorations. Manny is so upset he convinces Sid he is now on Santa’s naughty list. Sid, CRASH (Seann William Scott), EDDIE (Josh Peck) and PEACHES (Ciara Bravo) take off for the North Pole to plead their case to SANTA (Billy Gardell). Meanwhile, Manny, ELLIE (Queen Latifah) and DIEGO (Denis Leary), worry over Peaches’ safety and race to find her. Back at the North Pole, Sid and his crew accidentally destroy Santa’s Workshop on Christmas Eve, and it’s up to these newfound friends to orchestrate a Christmas miracle. The special, directed by Karen Disher, also features the voice talent of Chris Wedge, T.J. Miller and Judah Friedlander.
