Ice Age 3: Timeline Goes Awry
Remember back, when times were good, and Land Before Time had just come out. It was a happy time. With Little Foot, Ducky, Cera, and the gang. It was a story for everyone. About the extinction of dinosaurs, about the hope of that far-off land just teeming with life and prosperity. Even when everything looked bleak, there was the promise of star-leaf trees as far as the eye could see.
But then the made 7 more. That’s right. 7.
Frankly, I thought that the dinosaurs honestly would have gone extinct during the series…
I never watched anything but the original because there’s something about sequels to children’s movies where the creators just don’t think that children are going to care at all and their parents are going to buy anything and everything the company puts out (ie, Aladdin 2 and 3, Cinderella 2, etc.).
Now, there are some that are decent (so I hear). Toy Story 2 was decent. From what I understand, Shrek 2 and 3 were okay. Ice Age 2 is apparently alright.
Here’s where I have a problem with Ice Age 3 though. Ice Age 3: The Dawn of the Dinosaurs. What the heck?
Doesn’t anyone look up information about this stuff? No? Are you lost too?
Well, let’s all take a little history lesson…
THE ICE AGE HAPPENED AFTER DINOSAURS.
There. You can look it up. It’s probably even correct on Wikipedia. The fact that it made me question myself is frustrating. Yesterday, I posted about Britain breaking down the English language piece by piece (or is that peice by peice?), and I thought that was bad enough.
But completely ignoring the scientifically proven timeline of life on Earth… That’s something completely different. The first Ice Age had neanderthals in it, and that was okay. It was the Ice Age. People were around during mammoths. We have paintings. But… that’s POST-dinosaurs!
To recap: If you feel like making your kids dumber, check out this movie. It is in 3D… So, it’ll be 3-Dimensionally WRONG.
Ugh. I don’t get it. If you want Dinosaurs… just make a prequel?
Anyone understand their logic? Or the logic of making HORRIBLE movies? Please explain.
Are you J.J. Abrahms wasn’t involved? Perhaps there was a “Time-travel-producing-alternate-reality” thing going on. Hey! It worked in LOST and the new Star Trek!
i know exactly what you are saying. When for the first time I looked at the pop up advert for that movie at the theatres, I thought to myself, “Dinosaurs didn’t dawn after the ice age! Is Pixar advocating ignorance and simple-mindedness?”
Well, John Jacob, Pixar wouldn’t make amateur mistakes like this… Dreamworks on the other hand… well, let’s just say they made 3 Shrek movies…
everyone knows that dinosaur fossils are all fake anyway. some crazy guy told me that. they were planted by God to fool us or some such nonsense, so making a movie with dinosaurs in it is acceptable because dinosaurs are just fantasy anyway.
