I finally got through the glitchy DVD of this movie, and I wasn't really impressed. It was full of good ideas... the horses don't talk except in voiceover, the Mom didn't die, a reasonable love story. But the plot was passable at best, and extremely predictable, even for a kid's movie. And the soundtrack was nearly unbearable. Also, I didn't much like the technophobic, greenish tinge of the movie.

Beyond that, the animation was nice, if rather old-fashioned. The few voices were well done. Not really much else to say, a completely mediocre movie.

It definitely won't win. My vote still goes to Lilo and Stitch, but Ice Age will probably win.
