A star-studded cast provides the voices for the prehistoric creatures in this computer-animated feature set 20,000 years ago as the Ice Age approaches. Seemingly anti-social Manny,...
more...a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), acts as if he just wants to be left alone. When he meets Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), a sloth, the two become unlikely travelling companions. The plot thickens when the duo finds a human infant and decides to try to return the child to its 'herd'. Manny slowly but surely reveals his heart of gold, while Sid continues to provide comic relief. Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), a sabre-tooth tiger with ulterior motives, soon joins them in their search for the humans. Ultimately, this group of misfits becomes its own herd, learning about friendship and loyalty as they brave snow, ice, freezing temperatures, predators, hail, and even boiling lava pits. All the while, a sabre-tooth squirrel, Scat, provides comic relief as he valiantly struggles with an acorn. A well-written, humorous script and endearing characters mesh well with the state-of-the-art technology and effects. Other stars lending their voices to the feature include Goran Visnjic, Jack Black, and Jane Krakowski.

This is from the back of the DVD.

Twenty thousand years ago, at the dawn of the ice age, three completely mismatched creatures have been brought together by a twist of fate. Sid, a fast-talking and comical sloth, Manfred, a moody woolly mammoth, and Diego, a sinister saber-toothed tiger reluctantly team up to help return a human baby to his father.

Before their incredible journey, this trio will confront boiling lava pits, escape treacherous ice tunnels and meet a prehistoric squirrel-rat named Scrat, who is frantically trying to bury his beloved acorn.

This is a great animated film, and laughed all the way through. This film will not stop until the end were it gets a bit emotional.

The DVD comes with – Scrats new adventure, directors commentaries, deleted scenes, Scrat reveals segments, Sid on Sid, design galleries, under the ice and the trailer.


I recommend this film for any age groups, as it’s very funny. The animation is very good, and the story of the baby and the group is good. I loved the part in when they lost the kid and then they started to slide down the ice until stopping at the wall of snow.

I would have to say the voices of the characters is very good, the mamoth would have to be the best voice and well picked for the film.

I would have liked to see a 2-disk version as well, but with the extrans that are on the 1 disk, I couldn't think of what else they could put on.
