The Kernel take
Ice Age's 61 Metascore represents a solid return for a $59M animated bet, one that the $383M worldwide gross has vindicated handsomely—a rare case of critical modesty meeting commercial confidence.
Director track record: Chris Wedge
Ice Age (61) sits well above Chris Wedge's own 52.3-point average across his other 3 scored films—a notable high point for the director, though it trails the 64 Metascore of his best-reviewed work, Robots.
Lead track record: Ray Romano
Ice Age (61) sits well above Ray Romano's own 54.5-point average across his other 13 scored films, though it falls short of his best-reviewed appearance in The Big Sick (86).
