 * ICE AGE 1 ** (Sümeya Samıkıran)



First of all, I want to introduce you to our topic. It is an animation film, Ice Age. We choosed that film, because we think majority of our friends know it and enjoy while reading our journals. We summarize all of the parts which have been released so far. Also, we found some interesting news about Ice Age. It was 20.000 years ago, our planet was entering an Ice Age. The Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and animals were scuryying to save themselves from the upcoming Ice Age. All kinds of animals begin immigrating to the South, seeking some warm climates. There is a stupid sloth named Sid who never stops talking is left behind sleeping while everyone else begins the journey to the south. There is a wooly mammoth named Manny who travels to the north,too. In addition, there is a saber-toothed tiger named Diego. All of the parts begin with a squirrel. He tries to hide his nut in order not to die because of hungry, because he thinks that winter is beginning.Then, while he tries to hide his nut under the surface, a crack occurs. After that, the story begins.



In summary; when all animals are immigrating, the lazy Sid wakes up and comes across with the mammoth. Then, he decides to follow him. At that time, a human's camp is attacked by tigers. The tiger's goal is taking a baby whose father hunts their friends and family members. The leader of the tiger's wants to take this baby and makes him cry. Diego is the member of this group and it is his mission to take the baby but when he tries to make his job, baby's mother takes her baby and run away.Lastly, she jumps on a river, so Diego turns back. The leader of them gets angry and tells Diego to get it. Then, the baby is rescued by Manny and Sid before his mother drows. The two animals decide to search for the father and return the baby to him while braving the deadly elements of the impending Ice Age. After that, they come across with Diego and the adventure begins. I suggest that everybody watch it. It includes many meaningful messages in it. Furthermore, it is so enjoyable that you cannot get bored while watching. I'm looking forward to the last serie of this animation film.


 * ICE AGE 2-THE MELTDOWN ** (Gülsüm Ören)

Now, I’m going to talk about Ice Age 2- Meltdown. In the opening scene, Scrat, the sabre-toothed squirrel climbs a glacier, but accidentally opens a hole in it. The world of ice is melting slowly. The living things of the Ice Age are all enjoying themselves on ice and in pools made by melting ice. Sid, Manny and Diego are there. Sid is upset because none of the creatures take him seriously, nor Manny and Diego. By the way, Fast Tony claims that the earth will flood. Manny disagrees this idea, but he realizes he is wrong when he sees that Sid is trying to dive from a giant waterfall as Manny goes with Diego to the top of the waterfall to save Sid. They see that the warm weather caused the ice of valley to melt. One of the creatures says that a giant tree can act as a boat and save them. After, the animals begin their journey. While they are escaping, a glacier which contains two sea reptiles melts.

Diego and Sid encounter two opossum named Crash and Eddie on the way. They are nuts. Manny thinks that he is the last mammoth alive but meets Ellie, a female mammoth that believes she is an opossum and sister of Crash and Eddie. Sid invites them to escape from the flood together. During the travel, Sid realizes that Diego is afraid of water, and he tries to encourage Diego to admit it and face his fears. Diego insists “Fear is for prey”, so Sid points out that Diego is behaving as if he is water’s prey. They discover an area which Ellie remembers as the place she was adopted. She finally realizes she is a mammoth, but doesn’t accept Manny’s suggestion for saving their species. Ellie and Manny ultimately make up when they must co-operate to save the group when ground cracks under their feet. By the way, Sid is kidnapped by a tribe of who believe Sid is God. Sid thinks that he is finally found respect, but they plan to sacrifice him to a volcano. Sid escapes, and the next morning tells the others his experience, but none of them believes him. They find a place of hot geysers which separate Manny, Sid and Diego from Ellie and her brothers. They go to another ways. When the flood comes, Ellie is caught in a cave due to falling rocks while Diego overcomes his fear of water to save Sid. Manny saves Ellie from drowning and kills reptiles.

The other animals are at the mercy of the water currents, by the way, Scrat climbs up the glacier and at the top sticks the acorn he has into the ice. This forms a crack in the glacier, and the crack diverts the flood and save the animals. Scrat makes this without intention. In the final scene, a herd of mammoths shows up, but Manny and Ellie decide to remain together, taking Sid, Diego and the opossum brothers along. Sid encounters the mini-sloths again. They believe Sid stopped the flood and invite him to be their leader. Diego, Manny, Ellie and the opossum brothers believe Sid, too. They say Sid can stay wherever he wants. However, Sid decides not to stay with the mini-sloths. In the last scene, Scrat is shown up. He has a near death experience after falling into the fissure. He enters a heaven of full of acorns. At the time he reaches the biggest acorn, he is waken up, having been resuscitated by Sid, who he proceeds to viciously attack. When I finished watching this film, I was really happy and relaxed. I laughed so much that I had a stomach-ache. If you are looking for a funny film, ice age series is definitely appropriate J


 * ICE AGE 3- DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS ** (Gökçe Özer)



Ice Age adventure continues with Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Story begins when Sid finds three dinosaur eggs accidentally under the ice. He thinks they are left by their mom and he adopts them as his children. Manny the Mammoth sees them and tells Sid to take them back. Sid, as usual, doesn't listen to him. Eggs hatch soon and three little dinosaurs think that Sid is their mom until their real mom comes to find them. She abducts Sid to the underground world of dinosaurs and his friends attempt to rescue him.

When Manny, Ellie and Diego go there to find Sid they meet a strange animal living there. His name is Buck and he is a survivor who is able to survive there despite Rudy, biggest and most fearful dinosaur.



Buck helps them to find their friend Sid. While they are going where Sid is, Ellie goes into labour. Their baby is about to come and they are so close to find Sid. Buck takes Crash and Eddie with him and goes on to find their little friend, Manny and Diego stay with Ellie to help her.



Buck, Crash and Eddie find a pterosaur to go to rescue Sid. They live difficult moments while they are flying. An air force composed of a group of pterosaur attacks them. Finally they are able to get rid of them. They rescue Sid while he is about to fall from Lava Falls.

@http://youtu.be/f4zi9r34P9U First of all, this video is related with the last serie of Ice Age. It shows us that the fourth part of this serie. It represents all events in this part by showing the changes over the world. I like this part so much, because it is not as far as the previous series to our time. It shows how continents occur. I think it is beneficial. I like this part most. I think it is full of knowledge and enjoying. I think this video is in the best scenes of Ice Age series. On the other hand, the fourth serie has not released yet. I think this video gives us many indications about the last serie. Probably, all events are shaped according to these changes. I am affected. I think it will be the best serie of Ice Age series. I am looking forward to its release. It will be published in June. I suggest all of you to watch it. Have enjoy with it...

 * THE SONG ** (Gülsüm Ören)

[]

This song is “Walk the Dinosaur” and it is specially covered by Queen Latifah for Ice Age 3. When I was watching Ice Age 3 with my sister, this song began. My sister began to dance. She was really funny, so I increased the volume of the music. While listening, I really enjoyed, I hope you enjoy with it, too J

The biggest franchise that no one over the age of 12 cares about, 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios' "Ice Age" series has gone from strength to strength at the box office, with the last installment, "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," making close to a billion dollars internationally, despite not really attracting the crossover adult fanbase that Pixar and DreamWorks do. But the fact is, kids love these films, and so they'll keep being made, and next summer brings a fourth entry, "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift," which sees Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo), Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano) and Diego the Sabre-Toothed Tiger (Denis Leary), along with assorted hangers-on, heading out onto the high seas and tangling with a group of pirates. Digital Spy has a new trailer, which as usual, features rat/squirrel thing Scrat and his eternal existential quest for an acorn, and will likely be more entertaining than the film itself. The site has also premiered a new image from the film, which sees the first look at the new additions to the cast, which includes the omnipresent Jeremy Renner, Nick Frost, Alan Tudyk, Heather Morris, Jennifer Lopez, Aziz Ansari and Nicki Minaj, alongside the returning Queen Latifah, Josh Peck, Seann William Scott and Simon Pegg. "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift" lands on July 13th, 2012, but we're sure your kids will incessantly remind you of that closer to the time. Watch the trailer below.
