...bathroom humor (you don't put Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers in a movie and get a Sunday school lesson) and inside jokes about rival studio Disney, made the genre seem cool to teens. Ice Age, directed by Chris Wedge and produced through Fox's digital arm, Blue Sky, was hyped to all age groups via a marketing campaign that cost about $25 million. Burger King created a new frozen Ice Age drink for the kids. The older, Simpsons-watching audience saw a TV spot featuring the film's Scrat character (a nervous squirrel-rat hybrid with a fondness...

With unblinking solemnity they stood still and strong against the wind while 50 feet away seven other Marines aimed their rifles at the sky and, on command, fired three sharp volleys.

...still-beautiful colors - greens, reds and pastels against vivid blue skies - have been painstakingly cleaned with small poultices of Japanese paper impregnated with a solution of ammonium carbonate. Areas where the paint had fallen, due to humidity or previous restorations, have been filled in with fine hatching: parallel brush strokes in watercolor. The team re-covered the rusting heads of nails used in the late 19th century to anchor plaster to the wall. They removed old fixatives and fillings of unsuitable materials such as cement. They corrected previous attempts at retouching where color had altered or fallen...
