With such sway, does Gould foresee himself publishing another book of such mammoth proportions? “[It] depends on how much time they give me,” he jokes, but admits that he has at least two more “really big” projects in mind. “If I get 30 more years, I’ll write them,” he says. “See, Ontogeny and Phylogeny is about the organism, and The Structure of Evolutionary Theory is about theory. I should write one on patterns in the history...
...Lithgow who not only handles the material, but elevates it. Oozing confidence to spare, his J.J. is a mammoth creation, capable of expressing incredible charm and wreaking unspeakable evil in consecutive breaths. He is a creature of the city and, as much as he enjoys manipulating its underbelly, he is also a product of that environment and ultimately must answer...
...stands 6 ft. 7 in. and plays football--not the kind of guy you would expect to find watching cartoons on a Saturday afternoon. Yet on the weekend of March 15, Pond went to see Ice Age, a $60 million animated comedy in which a deadpan woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), a goofy sloth (John Leguizamo) and a duplicitous tiger (Denis Leary) go on an odyssey to reunite a human baby with its father.

In other words, the audience was not just moms and dads and kids--they are to be expected--but also young adults and teens, including the species Homo adolescence, teenage boys...
...They came, they thawed, they conquered!" Could there be a snazzier ad line for a computer-animated feature about three prehistoric buddies? This freezin' threesome--a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), a saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) and a sloth (John Leguizamo)--survives plot challenges of no particular ingenuity. The film breaks anthropological ground by revealing that humans lived in the Ice Age, but its contribution to cartoon history is more modest. It yearns for Pixar-style wit without quite earning...
