![]() The new characters were the ones I liked more though. Red doesn't come off as a jerk and has understandable reasons for his attitudes, Chuck and Bomb aren't as stupid or annoying as they were and are given some funny moments and do some clever stuff, and even Leonard is made a lot less obnoxious. Here though, the characters were given a huge upgrade and given some likable quirks. In the first movie, the characters either came off as stupid, annoying or just plain unpleasant which made it hard to sympathize or like any of them. As far as the characters go, they were also heavily improved from the first one. Ice and snow are very hard to create in computer animation and is something that can come off looking to plastic at times, but it looks very well detailed and shiny here. The feathers are very well rendered and the ice island looks simply gorgeous. The animation was the only thing I enjoyed about the first film and the crew at Sony did a great job stepping it up. As far as the animation goes, it looks fantastic once again. It had me laughing pretty hard so many times. The first one had an over-reliance on unfunny puns and some toilet humor and granted there are some instances of it here, most of the jokes rely on slapstick and Looney Tunes style humor which was a welcome change. Speaking of the jokes, the comedy was also seriously improved from the first one. It felt like a spiritual successor to Scrat and his acorn from the "Ice Age" films. There was also a funny subplot involving some hatchlings trying to get back the eggs that they accidentally lost which made me laugh a few times. Granted the beginning of the movie does feel like the video game, but it was still fun and led its way to some good jokes. It was easy to follow and didn't feel stretched thin and also decided to break away from the video game itself so that way it could be its own movie which was a really good decision. The story at least had a focused plot, unlike the first film. I was so happy they did as well because this film was pretty funny. Stewart figured out what went wrong with the first one and decided to fix up most of the problems with the sequel. ![]() Though fortunately, director Thurop Van Orman and the writers Peter Ackerman, Eyal Podell, and Jonathon E. As I said, I initially was not looking forward to the film both when it was announced and by how unimpressive the trailers looked.
