The teaser trailer for the new Ice Age movie, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is now online, and once again it features Scrat trying to get his acorn.

Honestly, I’m sick of these movies. Ice Age 2 wasn’t a complete disaster, but of all the animated films to be turned into a franchise, I’ve always felt the Ice Age films to be some of the weakest of the bunch. They just aren’t that funny or entertaining.
