Ice Age 4 - Continental Drift

Went to the movies with my baby brother today (despite it being such a warm summer day) and we saw Ice Age 4 - Continental Drift in 3D. It was actually quite good, and I prefer the fourth over the third movie, and it might even be better than the second (since I barely remember that one).

The world (as it was) is "falling apart" to form the continents as they are today (not exactly in a scientific manner, which annoyed me a bit, but whatever it's a kid's movie..). Manfred, Diego, Sid and Sid's Grandma (I saw it in Swedish, but I guess they call her Mamaw - you know, like Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory?) drifts around at sea after being separated from Ellie, and Manfred's now teenage daughter Kiwi (whom I like as a teenager, just sayin') and "run" into some pirates. Hilarity ensues, with a healthy dash of adventure and action to keep the kids interested. Meanwhile, Ellie and Kiwi, and all the other animals "back home" try to escape the moving mountains, and Kiwi has some teenage problems (friends, boys, you know the drill).

There were some great lines that had me laughing, and it might be even funnier in English (since all the jokes don't translate). One of my favourite parts however was the song in the end;
We Are (Ice Age 4 Theme Song) - Full Song
Ice Age 4: Continental Drift 'We Are Family' Music Video

In my opinion the music video version of the song is better but I couldn't find the full version of it. I do recommend you watch this movie though, but you could wait until you can rent the DVD (or download/stream it, if you'd rather do that).
