The Mirror
"This fun-packed and welcome third film in the Ice Age series gets the digital 3D treatment, meaning even more in-yer-face prehistoric entertainment... Simon Pegg is on hand to provide the voice of new character Buck the Weasel and the laughs are balanced with some outstanding action sequences."
Channel 4
"Despite the novelty of its 3D visuals and lost world setting, Dawn Of The Dinosaurs pushes the Ice Age franchise ever closer to extinction."
Shadows On The Wall
"A slightly more adventurous story breaks the trequel curse: this film is actually better than its predecessors. In addition to astoundingly eye-catching animation, this one also has a driving (albeit corny) narrative and some snappy new characters."
