Why not just make an animated series or Netflix show or some

Probably cause it would cost a lot to do a cartoon show with Everybody Loves Raymond, Luigi Mario and Captain Stacy respectively.

Hundred million investment, four hundred million profit, guaranteed every time.

Better question is, why does anyone even care about Ice Age at this point?
The franchise is way past its prime.

I think it makes most of its money internationally. I think American audiences are well beyond giving a shit.

It's a shame, as a kid I thought the first one was fucking great. I had a real soft spot for grumpy-yet-likable main characters as well as snark and sarcasm.

hire impersonators

Have you seen the first one recently?
My nephew had it on the other day

Good lord the animation is shit
It's so stiff and robot
Like, if a character isn't doing anything important, they're rock still

Every single DreamWorks Netflix and TV series has its main character voice by a celebrity impersonator, only exception is Penguins of Madagascar to my knowledge.

Which is probably only even MORE frustrating when you look at the shitty sequels and watch the animation only get better and better with each installment. The first Ice Age movie was Blue Sky's first movie in general, so I can give them a bit of slack.

I like the original too, but I just don't understand who could care about the sequels, especially with them getting worse with each installment.
Hell, I only watched CC only because absolutely everyone I know told me it was absolutely unwatchable shit.
Oh boy, they weren't lying.

Probably because it didn't work so well for the Land Before Time. Movies make more money than TV shows.

>Land Before Time
what are you talking about anon, there was only one movie, it was great but didn't really leave much room for a sequel, which is why it never happened

>one giant mess

Sums up the entire series right there.
