If you've never seen Ice Age, now's the time, and you will see the essense of doggie animalistic terror written upon the face of Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel. Scrat is the screen-living representation of human frustration. Both Herbie and his new dad are experts in the expression of this wide-mouthed Scrat-scream, since both their lives are filled with little daily frustrations.
Tonight was the night that Herbie crossed the line of Scratty new house pet to playfellow: he's already chasing, leaping and catching bones midair, reducing the king and queen of the house to floor-roiling packmates.

I watched Ice Age for the first time over Christmas with my sister, Patrick, and Dad. It was HILLARIOUS and I want very much to see Ice Age II now.
On the topic of great animation: I watch a portion of Madgascar on the base TV in the BX the other day with Patrick and his brother and sister-in-law and am convinced that I missed out by not having seen it in its entirety yet!
I'm thinking I should let a little more of the above into my otherwise steady diet of Blue, White, Red, Red Violin, and To Kill a Mockingbird watchings!
Totally. The world of children's movies is akin to the pleasure of reading children's books. Until Eric came along, I was getting to be a "deep movie" snob--like when we watched Shrek with Graeme and Corrie, I thought it was a silly waste of time and refused to see humor in it. :)
