Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat are still together and enjoying the perks of their now melting world. Manny may be ready to start a family, but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; Manny thinks he may be the last one. That is, until he miraculously finds Ellie, the only female mammoth left in the world. Their only problems: They can't stand each other--and Ellie somehow thinks she's a possum! Ellie comes with some excess baggage in the form of her two possum "brothers"-- Crash and Eddie, a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky, loud-mouthed troublemakers. Manny, Sid and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate has one major drawback: A huge glacial dam holding off oceans of water is about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most unlikely family--in any "Age"-- as they embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape towards their salvation.

| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordIf you're under the age of 10 you will likely enjoy Ice Age: The Meltdown. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtScrat, the pre-historic squirrel-rat, easily upstages the pedestrian storytelling. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe sequel to Ice Age is very much like the original: witty and imaginative at times, dull and predictable at others. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusIce Age 2 isn't really a meltdown, but it's no bolt from a Blue Sky. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThe exposition is lazy and sloppy and the story has little creative heat. |
| Projection BoothRob HumanickFor as endearing as Scrat's antics are, even they can't sustain the lackluster jokes that pass for humor for the bulk of the ninety-minute running time. |
| Sci-Fi WeeklyMichael SzymanskiIt's all about Scrat, that plain-looking Every-squirrel who never gives up, and it's only a matter of time before he gets his own feature. |
| Reel.comJames PlathI'm not going to beat around the glacier. If you liked Ice Age, you're going to like this sequel. |
| BBC.comNeil SmithReuniting the mismatched heroes from its hit predecessor, Carlos Saldanha's mix of race-against-time action and eco-friendly propaganda is actually an improvement on the original, not least for giving its funniest character - acorn-hunting rodent Scrat - a lot more to do. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIce Age: The Meltdown blithely looks on the bright side of life, amassing a screen full of vultures to sing and dance ''Food Glorious Food'' and daring us not to get happy. |
