Ice Age put Blue Sky Studios on the map when it opened to strong reviews and solid audience feedback in early 2002.
As is often the case in the streaming era, a film that once would have been a big deal in theaters has now debuted on a streaming platform. Two weeks ago, it was Sony’swhich they sold to Amazon for $200 million. Today it’s 20th Century Studios’debuting this morning on Disney+. I have not seen the 86-minute feature yet, and honestly I’m not exactly racing to the couch to do so.
Remember, we were just five years out fromflameout. The surprisingly grim and mournful dramedy, about a mammoth mourning his slain wife and kid reluctantly teaming up with an exiled sloth and a conflicted saber tooth to return a lost human child to what family he had left, was a blunt and unapologetic movie about extinction and death. Cue a $46 million opening and a $176 million domestic/$386 million worldwide cume on a $65 million budget.
