Must Watch: New Trailer For ICE AGE 4: CONTINENTAL DRIFT

Think this one is going to make big money? Yep. Considering that Fox's ICE AGE franchise has gone 3D and the last one did in the ballpark of $900m worldwide, you could say this is a sure thing.

As much as I quite despise Ray Romano and his voice (yeah why? I don't know, he just doesn't agree with me) I had a TON O' FUN with the last one in 3D, so definitely bring it on. In fact, it's my most anticipated 3D animation of 2012.

Here's the storyline for the ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT:
Scrat’s nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he’s been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences – a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

And don't forget about the new SIMPSONS 3D short that will pre-roll in front of ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT! The short is entitled THE LONGEST DAYCARE and will be in the 4 minute duration range focusing on, you guessed it, Maggie. Can't wait to see the Springfield crew in three dimensions!

ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT opens July 13.

Ice Age 3 Officially in Digital 3D !

20th Century Fox announced that "Ice Age 3" will indeed be made in Digital 3D. After pushing Avatar (James Cameron's 3D epic) back to Christmas 2009, Fox is releasing "Ice Age 3" in 3D on July 1st, 2009 to help fill Avatar's void at the 3D theaters. This is the same date as was originally planned for the 2D release.

Seems kinda back door-ish to me. Have Dreamworks Animation move their 3D sure-to-be-hit "Monsters vs. Aliens" to Easter to avoid "Avatar" and then release their animation tentpole close to Avatar's summer window. Voila. A nice 3D theater reservation system you got there. A side benefit of the assumed production delays over on Avatar.

I would like to hear what Jeff Katzenberg has to say about these recent developments!

Regardless of the controversy surrounding the launch date - I am really looking forward to this 3dpic. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and Dennis Leary are all back to lend their voices! Another romp in the really retro.
