It's nice he's quoting themes from other franchise compsoers.
I am still a little disappointed the best cue, in my opinion, from Newman's score was not only used once but never quoted again in the franchise (that I know of): that toe-tapping fun opening cue with the two twangy guitars.

The Ice Age scores haven't disappointed yet. Great music is all that matters nowadays.
We are in accord.

My favorite and most memorable cue from the entire series so far is the main title from the first film. Which, as someone else mentioned, was only used like once in the series.
I absolutely agree. What a memorable and original piece. As much as I enjoy the Powell scores I always was disappointed that they didn`t hire Newman for the following scores since his music for part 1 was absolutely stunning.

My favorite cue from the series (so far) is the 7 minute long end title suite by Powell from Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It is a powerhouse of a piece overflowing with melody and bombast, ending on a rousing tutti.

Why the hell is David Newman NOT getting A list work these days!!??
Disgusting. 
You can ditto that for Joel McNeely, Cliff Eidelman, Ed Shearmur, Bruce Broughton, David Arnold and many others.
Filmmakers today, with few exceptions, just seem to be musical ignoramuses, seemingly preferring bland, non-thematic musical wallpaper that is interchangeable from film to film.
I often wonder if there are actual people creating these "modern" scores, or if it's a computer algorithm churning out endless samples overlaid on a pounding rhythmn.
