What are the Ice Age creators up to?
I was just searching the net trying to find out what the creators of Ice Age are currently working on but haven't found anything yet. Anyone know or have a link to share?
Hopefully refining their talent. That movie stunk.

Ice Age & Treasure Planet just got thrown in to round out the group.

That makes it better?
A lot of people thought Antz was a stinker as well but I believe that animation studio went on to do Shrek which was excellent. I know the Ice Age people are supposedly working on something described as a "futuristic fantasy" but that's all I've been able to find out. Given the quality of the GRAPHICS (lighting in particular) in Ice Age, I'm looking forward to seeing how they've progressed.

Hey dudes:
I'm a character animator who worked on ICE AGE at Blue Sky Studios, but am now at Dreamworks working on SHREK 2.
When I left Blue Sky, they were preparing to work on ROBOTS, their 2nd CG feature. This might sound biased, but the designs and test animation were pretty darn cool. I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks for the update.
And despite what a lot of people around here seem to think about it, congrats on Ice Age. Graphically speaking I thought it was extremely well done.
Good luck with Shrek 2. Really looking forward to that one as well. I'm a CG junkie.

To me the quality of the animation doesn't matter (although Ice Age was definately poor). What's most important is great story and Antz, Shrek, and Ice Age didn't have one.

I'm glad to hear a second movie is coming soon. I personally enjoyed Ice Age very much, story and animation. It's one of my daughter's favorites too and we watch it over and over.

I'm Sam Waterston, of the popular TV series "Law & Order". As a senior citizen, you're probably aware of the threat robots pose. Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
Well, now there's a company that offers coverage against the unfortunate event of robot attack, with Old Glory Insurance. Old Glory will cover you with no health check-up or age consideration.
[ SUPER: Limitied Benefits First Two Years ]
You need to feel safe. And that's harder and harder to do nowadays, because robots may strike at any time.
[ show pie chart reading "Cause of Death in Persons Over 50 Years of Age": Heart Disease, 42% - Robots, 58% ]
And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free.. because they're made of metal, and robots are strong.
Now, for only $4 a month, you can achieve peace of mind in a world full of grime and robots, with Old Glory Insurance. So, don't cower under your afghan any longer. Make a choice.

Old Glory Insurance. For when the metal ones decide to come for you - and they will.

I didn't think the story of Ice Age was that bad. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but the I think the only thing I didn't like was the character that
I'm not certain as it's been awhile. But otherwise it had some fairly amusing moments.

Personally Ice Age didn't look interesting from a story standpoint, and I really hate Ray Romano. What I saw of the actual animation looked fine. Not exactly Pixar, but fine.

I thought PDI the people who brought you Antz were looking at acquiring most of the Blue Sky People. I thought the company was in financial upset also am I wrong Jeff?

There was some downsizing after ICE AGE, but Blue Sky is doing fine now. They've been re-hiring a good numbe rof people for the 2nd movie, in fact.
Only a few people, not a lot, went on to PDI, PIXAR, ILM, etc.
