The “performance gap” identified in this review is that the film lacks depth. The review notes that while it is entertaining, it does not have the insight or intellect of better Pixar films.
Read the following E! Online of Ice Age: The Meltdown and answer the questions that follow.
“If the trailers for all the upcoming computer-animated movies are any indication, we're about to be invaded by an army of talking animals. Thankfully, the first of the batch just takes us on an entertaining romp. As good as the first Ice Age, this sequel has our old pals Manny the mastodon, Sid the sloth and Diego the saber-toothed tiger migrating for their lives when they realize the valley they call home is about to be flooded. But while this film has neither the insight nor intellect of better Pixar films, it does have enough funny gags to keep the kids entertained and their parents from being bored. Well, except when they turn stupid catchphrases into cringe-inducing jokes. What saves this from being only for the very young is the acorn-addicted Scrat (a saber-toothed squirrel, see), whose acrobatic antics and kung-fu moves are the film's highlight. It's no Incredibles, but as talkative furballs go, this group will do.”
