Ice Age Continental Drift(2012)

Synopsis:

Ice Age Continental Drift(2012) is a computer animated comedy adventure movie. The movie is 3D and fourth sequel of Ice Age series distributed by 20th Centurey Fox. 

As in the previous films, the protagonists are the mammoth Manny, the sloth Sid, the saber-toothed cat Diego, and, in a parallel storyline, the saber-toothed squirrel Scrat. Scrat's hunt for acorns triggers the break-up of the Pangaea landmass into the continents as we know them today. In the meantime, Manny and his wife Ellie deal with their 19-year-old daughter Peaches who has a crush on Ethan. Peaches' best friend, a molehog named Louis, appears to have a crush on her. Sids family ditches him and Granny, leaving Sid to wonder whether his family loves him or not. Granny cheers him up then tells him to chew an apple for her. When Manny catches Peaches hanging with Ethan after he told her not to, Manny and Peaches have a falling out. Soon after, the breakup of the continent separates Manny from his family. Manny gets stuck on a floating ice raft with Sid, Diego and Granny. A large moving landmass drives Ellie, Peaches, Crash and Eddie, Louis, Ethan, and a herd of other animals towards a land bridge, where they hope to reunite with Manny. Manny and the 3 others pass through rips and encounter a large crab who makes Sid say "Holy Crab". They then pass a tornado and the crab dissapears but it's leg is being held by Sid so all that remains of the crab is its leg, scaring Sid.

Meanwhile, Scrat, also lost at sea, comes across an island and runs when he sees a skeleton. He then finds an acorn-shaped map, which leads to a mysterious acorn-filled island. Scrat decides to follow the map and find the island. As he begins his journey, he is captured by a gang of animal pirates on a large ship-shaped iceberg, who are sailing the oceans.

Manny and his friends are also captured by the pirate gang, led by a Gigantopithecus named Gutt. Gutt and the pirate gang attempt to shanghai Manny, telling him to forget his family and former life and join the pirates, but he refuses. Gutt takes this as an insult, and attempts to make the herd walk the plank, but they (along with Scrat, who continues his journey) manage to escape, in the process destroying the pirate ship, and again float on the oceans on a small ice raft. They rescue the female pirate saber-toothed cat Shira, who had been left behind by the pirates. She reluctantly joins the group, stateing that the pirates will come back for her. She and Diego slowly begin to fall in love with each other.

The group reaches an island and encounters a group of hyraxes, as well as the pirates, who are building a new ice ship elsewhere on the same island. The herd plan to steal the ship and use it to get home. The next morning, as the herd is preparing their plan, Shira escapes and rejoins the pirates, but gets chocked and threatened to be killed by Gutt instead of being welcomed back, after Gutt realizes that she had not attacked them but she had tripped Gutt to save manny and the herd. The herd, along with the hyraxes, overtake the new ice ship and, with some help from Shira, sail away. Gutt, in anger, quickly turns a new iceberg into a ship, propelled by narwhals, and chases Manny's gang, determined to get revenge.

Meanwhile, Peaches has been still hanging with Ethan and a group of teenage mammoths, but after realizing that they don't care about the danger and thinking that being a best friend with a molehog is ridiculous, she leaves them and returns to Louis. When Ellie, Peaches, Louis, Crash and Eddie reach the land bridge, they find it to be destroyed. Meanwhile, Manny, Sid, Granny and Diego encounter sirens, depicted as sharp-toothed creatures who take the shape of loved ones and attempt to lure the sailors. Fortunately, Manny realizes this and manages to steer the ship away from the sirens. Later, Scrat meets a siren, which uses the shape of his former girlfriend from the third film, Scratte, to attempt to lure him. Scrat blows a raspberry and ignores it, however the siren takes the shape of an acorn, causing Scrat to get hype and hug it. The siren changes back and attacks Scrat, but he gets away.

The next morning, Manny, Sid, Diego and Granny finally reach home, but, much to their horror, find out that Gutt and his pirate gang had beaten them to it and captured Ellie and Peaches. Manny attempts to turn himself in to Gutt in exchange for releasing his family, but Gutt doesn't keep his side of the bargain and prepares to kill the family. Louis, come to their rescue, starting a battle, during which Shira rescues Diego, and Granny's presumed imaginary pet Precious, a gigantic Livyatan melvillei, appears, defeating the pirates by spraying them (Caused by Sid blocking her blowhole). Peaches rescues Manny, but as they are about to escape, Gutt attacks him again. Gutt and Manny engage in a final fight, but Manny manages to defeat him with his heavy body and using a log as a bat to smack Gutt far away. Manny arrives in time to pick up Ellie and Peaches, who are caught between the moving landmass and the ocean at the location where the land bridge once existed. Meanwhile, Gutt is presumed dead when he ends up being tricked by a siren, taking on the shape of a female of his species. It is believed that he may have killed the siren since you don't see it happening. After sailing over the ocean, the herd and all the animals find another continent (where the hyraxes have gone, too) which they accept as their new home, that is South America. Manny and Peaches reconcile, Manny finally admits that Sid is not the screw-up after all, Sid fixes grannies problem with her teeth(She had no teeth), Diego and Shira become a couple, and Louis is finally allowed to be with Peaches whenever she hangs out with Ethan's gang.

The film ends with Scrat finally reaching the island on the map, Scratlantis (a Scrat version of Atlantis); a floating city filled with other sabre-toothed squirrels and nuts. However, Scrat, due to his nut obsession, grabs many nuts in a frenzy and eventually attempts to grab a giant one blocking a hole. He grabs it, despite the sabre-toothed squirrel leader's warnings, causing the city to sink to the bottom of the ocean, leaving Scrat in the middle of a desert of Nevada in North America. Scrat's eyes burn, and he screams in pain and frustration.

Production:

The first details of the sequel were announced on January 10, 2010, when The New York Times reported that Blue Sky was working on a fourth film and was in negotiations with the voice cast. Fox later confirmed on May 5, 2010, that Ice Age: Continental Drift would be released on July 13, 2012.

Release:

Ice Age: Continental Drift had its premiere on June 20, 2012, at the CineEurope film distributors' trade fair in 

Barcelona. It publicly premiered on June 27, 2012, in Belgium, Egypt, France, Switzerland, and Trinidad, and was released on July 13, 2012, in the USA. The film is accompanied by the short animated film The Longest Daycare featuring Maggie Simpson.

Marketing:

As a promotion for Ice Age: Continental Drift, Fox released two 3-minute short segments from the film, titled Scrat's Continental Crack-up and Scrat's Continental Crack-up: Part 2. The first part premiered as a theatrical release attached to Gulliver's Travels in 2010, and it was released on-line on January 6, 2011, on iTunes Movie Trailers. The second part was released on November 16, 2011, on iTunes, and debuted in theatres with Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. The first part shows how the Scrat's actions lead to split of the continents, while in the second part, Scrat's underwater pursuit of acorns leads him to a pirate ship. The film was featured on Tommy Baldwin Racing's #10 car driven by Tomy Drissi for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 held on June 24, 2012.

Critical response:

The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 39% of  critics have given the film positive reviews, with a rating average of 5.2/10 based on 108 reviews. The consensus statement reads, "Continental Drift 3D has moments of charm and witty slapstick, but it often seems content to recycle ideas from the previous films." Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 48 based on 28 reviews, or "Mixed or average." Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter said: "It's familiar, drawn-out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points." Simon Brew, writing for Den of Geek, gave a very positive four-star review, saying that "not only is Ice Age 4 arguably the best in the franchise yet, it's also,a little surprisingly perhaps (given that it's a fourth movie in a franchise, turned around on a strict cycle), turned out to be thoroughly, thoroughly entertaining family blockbuster."

Box office:

Outside North America, Ice Age 4 had a two-day (Wednesday-Thursday) opening of $11 million from 12 markets. On its opening weekend (through Sunday), it earned first place with $80.3 million from 34 markets, opening #1 in all of them. The film set an opening-day record in Nicaragua and a Thursday-opening record in Guatemala. In Peru, it earned the second highest-grossing opening day and the highest for an animated film. It also set an opening-day record for an animated film in Sweden and achieved the second highest-grossing opening day for an animated film in France ($4.5 million), Colombia, Argentina and Chile. The film set opening-weekend records for any film in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Central America and Chile and opening-weekend records for an animated film in Norway, Sweden, Ecuador and Bolivia.

In North America, the film earned $16.5 million on its opening day, and a $46.6 million opening 3-day weekend. It was higher than the openings of Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($41.7 million), and the original Ice Age ($46.3 million), but was far behind the opening weekend of The Meltdown ($68 million).

Video games:

Ice Age Village is a mobile video game developed by Gameloft and was released on April 5, 2012 to iPhone, iPad and various Android devices. Ice Age: Continental Drift – Arctic Games, a video game based on the film published by Activision Publishing and developed by Behaviour Interactive, was released on July 10, 2012, on Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS and Kinect for Xbox 360.

Madagascar 3 Europe's Most Wanted(2012)

Synopsis:

This is one of the perfect family movie. Both kids and elders of the family will enjoy the movie and have a great fun together.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated comedy film, produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is the third installment of the series, following Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and it is the first film in the series to be released in 3D. The film is directed by Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and  Conrad Vernon. The film's world premiere was at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2012.

Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent - Madagascar style.

Production:

DreamWorks Animation's CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed in 2008 that there would be an additional sequel to Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Katzenberg stated, "There is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York." At the Television Critics Association press tour in January 2009, Katzenberg was asked if there would be a third film in the series. He replied, "Yes, we are making a Madagascar 3 now, and it will be out in the summer of 2012."

Release:

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2012. The American release followed on June 8, 2012. The film was also converted to the IMAX format and shown in specific European territories, including Russia, Ukraine, and Poland.

Home media:

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 16, 2012.

Critical response:

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted has received generally positive reviews. Based on 84 reviews, the film currently holds a "Certified Fresh" rating of 76% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads "Dazzlingly colorful and frenetic, Madagascar 3 is silly enough for young kids but boasts enough surprising smarts to engage parents along the way." This  marks the best general review consensus of the film series that has showed improving critical favor with the first film having an Rotten Tomatoes score of 55%, and the second scoring 64%. On Metacritic, Madagascar 3 currently holds a score of 59 out of 100 based on 24 reviews indicating mixed or average reviews.

Lisa Kennedy of The Denver Post gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and said, "From time to time the improbable occurs: A sequel outdoes its original." Colin Covert of Star Tribune said that Madagascar 3 set a high standard for cartoon comedy and was almost too good for kids. He gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars.

Giving the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, Betsy Sharkey of Los Angeles Times said, "A neon-saturated, high-flying trapeze act with enough frenetic funny business that it's a wonder the folks behind this zillion-dollar franchise about zoo critters on the lam didn't send the animals to the circus sooner."

Stephen Witty of the Newark Star-Ledger calls the movie "fun and fast family entertainment. the animals jazzy circus performance done in black-light colors and set to a Katy Perry song — may be one of the trippiest scenes in a mainstream kiddie movie since Dumbo saw those pink elephants."

Michael Dequina of TheMovieReport.com said the franchise "finally—and, to be frank, very unexpectedly—breaks from pleasantly watchable kid-friendly mediocrity to visually imaginative consistently witty all-ages entertainment." 

Pre-release tracking:

During the week preceding Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted's release, there were many contradicting opinions on whether it would out-gross Prometheus during its simultaneous release. As of June 6, 2012,  Fandango reported that Prometheus was leading with 42% of daily sales, while Madagascar 3 was  responsible for 35% of daily sales. 


However, pre-release tracking is usually less reliable for animated films; since Madagascar 3 was the first truly family-oriented film of the summer, many speculated that there would be large demand for it. The official DreamWorks Animation and Paramount prediction placed Madagascar 3 at about $45 million. 


As the weekend came closer, pre-release audience surveys suggested a $55 million debut for Madagascar 3. Madagascar 3 also had the advantage of a wider release. 

Box office:

The film has grossed $184,140,000 in North America and $244,200,000 in other countries as of July 6, 2012 for a worldwide total of $428,340,000.

In North America, the film made $20.5 million on its opening day which is higher than the opening day grosses of the original film ($13.9 million) and its sequel ($17.6 million). For its opening weekend, the film ranked at the #1 spot, beating Prometheus, with $60.3 million, which was more than the first film's $47.2 million, but less than the sequel's $63.1 million. It remained at the #1 spot for two consecutive weekends.

Outside North America, on its opening weekend, Madagascar 3 topped the box office with $77.3 million from 28 countries. It was in first place for three consecutive weekends. Its three highest-grossing openings occured in Russia and the CIS ($15.7 million), China ($10.4 million) and Brazil ($10.1 million in 5 days). It set an opening-day record for animated films in Russia with $3.7 million. It also set an opening-weekend record for any film in Argentina with $3.80 million (surpassed by Ice Age: Continental Drift) and it set opening-weekend records for animated films in Brazil, Venezuela, Trinidad, and the United Arab Emirates.

Soundtrack:

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is the soundtrack of the film scored by Hans Zimmer and was released on June 5, 2012.

Video game:

A video game based on the film, Madagascar 3: The Video Game, was released on June 5, 2012. The game 

allows gamers to play as Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria in their attempt to escape Captain Chantel DuBois and return home to New York City. It was released to Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Published by D3 Publisher, the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions were developed by Monkey Bar Games, and the 3DS and DS versions by Torus Games.

Comic book:

A comic book based on the film and titled Madagascar Digest Prequel: Long Live The King! was released on June 12, 2012, by Ape Entertainment.

Sequel:

In December 2010, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg stated that there is likely to be a fourth installment to the series. However, in June 2012, DreamWorks Animation's head of worldwide marketing, Anne Globe, said, "It's too early to tell. There hasn't been a lot of discussion about that." 

Other media:

Besides the main films, the Madagascar franchise also consists of three short films: The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, Merry Madagascar, and the upcoming Madly Madagascar. A television series, The Penguins of Madagascar, has been airing on the Nickelodeon channel since 2009.

Brave (2012)

Synopsis:

The Scottish King Fergus of Clan DunBroch presents his young daughter Merida with a bow and arrow for her birthday. While practicing with the bow, Merida briefly encounters a will-o'-the-wisp as a giant demon bear named Mor'du attacks the family. Merida escapes along with her mother Queen Elinor while Fergus fights off the bear alongside his men at the cost of his left leg. Years later, Elinor has since given birth to identical triplet boys, and Merida has become a free-spirited and adventurous teenager. One day, her mother informs her she is to be betrothed to one of her father's allied clans: Dingwall, Macintosh, or MacGuffin. Despite her mother's attempts to appease her by telling her a legend of a power-hungry prince  who broke off from his duty and caused the ruin of a kingdom, Merida is dissatisfied with the arranged marriage.

The clans arrive with their first-born sons to compete in Highland Games for Merida's hand, and the princess

chooses archery as the main event. During the competition, Lord Dingwall's son wins by accident. Merida enters the competition, saying that as the first-born of Clan DunBroch she is eligible to compete for her own hand, and Elinor and Merida have a falling out. When Merida destroys a tapestry depicting her family and Elinor burns her bow, Merida flees to the forest. While there, the Will O' The Wisps lead her to an elderly witch's hut. The witch denies being a witch anymore due to "too many dis-satisfied customers", saying she is a wood carver (and each of her carvings seem to involve a bear.) After some bargaining, the witch agrees to give Merida a spell that will "change her mother" in the form of a cake to be eaten by the Queen. During the conversation, she also mentions a prior customer - some prince who wanted the strength of 10 men, who was later revealed to be the same prince from the legend the Queen told Merida earlier.

Merida returns to the castle and gives her mother the cake, causing her to transform into a bear. With the help of her brothers, Merida gets Elinor out of the castle. The pair return to the witch's cottage, finding it empty as the witch left to gather new supplies. Through a potion-controlled automated message, Merida discovers that the spell will be permanent unless undone by the second sunrise. The witch leaves Merida a riddle, mentioning that a pride-torn bond must be repaired. The next morning, Merida and her mother begin to reconcile their relationship while gathering fish and playing in a near-by river. However, Merida learns the spell is slowly becoming permanent, turning Elinor into a wild bear. The pair encounter the Wisps again and follow them to ancient ruins and learn that Mor'du was once the prince of Elinor's legend who received the same spell from the witch. Suddenly, Merida, who has fallen into an inner level of the castle ruins is attacked by the demon bear Mor'du / the fourth prince and is barely rescued by her mother. During the attack, Merida has a vision that they must restore the tapestry Merida ripped lest Elinor becomes completely like Mor'du and with this new-found knowledge, they race back to the castle.

At the castle, the clans are on the verge of war because of Merida's actions. With help from her mother, Merida quells their fighting and declares that the first-borne should be allowed to get married in their own time. The other first-borns agree and the lords lay down their grudges. While Merida and Elinor sneak into the tapestry room, Fergus goes to his bed chambers to find Elinor, but mistakes her for dead after seeing the room destroyed. Meanwhile Elinor has once again reverted to wild bear mentality and attacks both Merida and Fergus when he steps into their room. On regaining human consciousness, she feels guilty and races out of the castle chased by Fergus. He refuses to believe Merida when she says the bear is the Queen and locks her in her room, racing outside to kill the bear, believing it is Mor'du. Merida again escapes with her brothers' (who have also been turned into little bears, after eating the left-over cake) help and races after her father & others alongwith her brothers, while fixing the tapestry.

By now, the clan members and Fergus have captured Elinor / the bear with ropes. Merida arrives and steps between her father and mother, trying to explain the situation but Mor'du appears and attacks Merida. Fergus and the clan members try to defend Merida, but are thrown aside. Elinor / the bear furiously breaks the ropes to defend her daughter and lunges for Mor'du. There is a fierce fight and she almost loses. But eventually Elinor makes him use his own strength against some broken masonry, which falls on and kills him, setting the spirit of the prince free.

The sun begins to rise and Merida quickly places the repaired tapestry over her wounded mother, declaring that she loves her and apologizes for everything. Elinor shows no signs of returning to human form and Merida begins to weep feeling very guilty for her actions. However, after a few moments her mother is transformed back, along with the triplets. A few days later the clans leave for their respective lands and Merida and Elinor ride their horses together, sharing a closer relationship than before.

Release

The film was initially set for release on June 15, 2012, but was later changed to June 22, 2012. The film premiered on the last day of the Seattle International Film Festival on June 10, 2012. It had its Australian premiere on June 11, 2012, at the Sydney Film Festival, and had its domestic premiere on June 18, 2012, at the new Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as part of the Los Angeles Film Festival, its European premiere was at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicilly on June 23, 2012 and its British premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 30, 2012.In the United States and Canada, Brave is the first feature-length film to use the Dolby Atmos sound format. 

Almost half of the 14 theaters set up to show the film in Atmos are located in California (Burbank, Century City, Fremont, Hollywood, San Francisco, and Sherman Oaks), with the others located in seven states (Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Kansas City, Missouri, Paramus, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Nevada, Chicago, West Plano, Texas, Vancouver, Washington) and in Toronto, Ontario.[27] It was released in other theaters with Dolby Surround 7.1. In total, it was released in 4,164 theaters, a record-high for Pixar, which was previously held by Cars 2 (4,115 theaters). 2,790 of the theaters will include 3D shows.

Critical response

Brave has received positive reviews from film critics. On April 3, 2012, Pixar screened the first 30 minutes of the movie, and it received a positive reaction by the screeners. The film was also well-received among general audiences, earning an "A" CinemaScore.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 76% of critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6.8/10 based on 162 reviews. The consensus statement reads, "Brave offers young  audiences and fairy tale fans a rousing, funny fantasy adventure with a distaff twist and surprising depth." Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 68 based on 26 reviews.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote, "The good news is that the kids will probably love it, and the bad news is that parents will be disappointed if they're hoping for another Pixar groundbreaker." He said that the film had an uplifting message about improving communication between mothers and daughters.

Peter Debruge of Variety gave a positive review of the film, remarking that the film "offers a tougher, more self-reliant heroine for an era in which princes aren't so charming, set in a sumptuously detailed Scottish environment where her spirit blazes bright [sic] as her fiery red hair." Debruge also said that "Adding a female director [Brenda Chapman] to its creative boys' club, the studio [Pixar] has fashioned a resonant tribute to mother-daughter relationships that packs a level of poignancy on par with such beloved male-bonding classics as Finding Nemo."

Conversely, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter said that the film "diminishes into a rather wee thing as it chugs along, with climactic drama that is both too conveniently wrapped up and hinges on magical  elements that are somewhat confusing to boot."

Box office

The film has grossed $84,198,540 in North America, and $13,500,000 in other countries, as of June 26, 2012, for a worldwide total of $97,698,540.

Pre-release tracking suggested the film would open around $55 to $65 million, which is slightly below average for a Pixar film. These predictions were attributed to the film not appealing to males and to the good but not great reviews for the film. On the other hand, its female protagonist, which would draw many females of all ages, and 3D were expected to boost earnings.

In North America, it opened on June 22, 2012 with an estimated $24.6 million. It finished its opening weekend with $66.3 million. This was the fourth-largest weekend in June and the fifth-largest for a Pixar film. Concerns that male viewers would not come to see an animated film with a female lead proved largely groundless with the estimated audience in attendance being 43% male.
