Though there is no baby on board the meltdown, there still is a ‘journey‘ like most animation movies do. Scrat the squirrel is the most(me thinks) endearing character on his acorn baggery mission. He is constantly in search of nuts to hoard and bury, although his presence is noticably less as compared to the previous sequel. Manfred the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the sabertooth tiger are on the road again. Manny fights his feelings about being the sole mammoth survivor prior the meltdown until he meets up with Emily a girl mammoth. Have to say, great animation, but when it comes to the story… hmmm… I don’t feel generous at all 
Still, its worth a watch.
The Unusual bit
Neither of us have been to the movies at 12 mid-day in a very long time. In a v-e-r-y long time!!! Coming out of a dark room into the glory and glamour of the gorgeous Sydney clear blue firmament was nothing short of painful. That felt unusual but also brought back memories of how as a kid I’d watched many movies in the middle of the day! A short walk down the memory lane as scenes from my childhood flooded my thoughts for a fleeting moment like a shimmering evanescent bubble. My eyes hurt and I squinted and blinked as much as I could. We were walking down one of the inner roads of Mosman that had amazing view of Middle head, North head, parts of Bradleys Head and the serene Balmoral beach. The sky was a painting in blue and the ocean looked like a stack of turquoise treasure with many sails afloat soaking up the soft autumn sun. I couldn’t help but stop every now and then to enjoy the view. The road meandered up the hill, down, right and left and after a few turns we came back home for a short rest before heading out for Nick’s house-warming barbie.
