This movie brings back that wacky and lovable sub-zero gang, Manny, Ellie, Scrat, Diego and Sid. We met this wild gang in the first and second movies, Ice Age, and Ice Age the Meltdown. Of course, a lot of changes have taken place since we first met these characters and a even more changes will take place in this fun-packed movie.
Manny and Ellie are expecting a little mammoth and soon become parents of a bouncing baby. Manny is being all too fussy about making things safe and sound for the arrival of his beloved mini-mammoth. Scrat, on the other hand, is still on a hunt after his ever-elusive acorn and will continue to hold on to dear nut until he meets a love interest somewhere down the road – the femme fatale Scratte. Diego ponders on his being a rather laidback cat and worries that he is becoming too soft for a saber-toothed tiger. Sid, the charming sloth, will run into trouble as he steals dinosaur eggs in his desire to make a family he can call his own.
The group teams up to rescue their friend, Sid and the encounters with the dinosaurs begin! In a whole new underground world deep down the layers of ice and snow, the gang will find themselves facing threats left and right. They battle with sinister flora and fauna, and then eventually here comes Buck in the picture — a dinosaur-hunting weasel who will make the adventure all the more a long and bumpy ride.
The Ice Age Movies haven’t disappointed us in the past, and with the fabulous cast that has been assembled, once again, this one won’t either. Look at the amazing cast involved in this animated project. Ray Romano as Manny, John Leguizamo as Sid, Denis Leary as Diego, Queen Latifah as Ellie, Josh Peck as Eddie, Seann William Scott as Crash and Chris Wedge as Sid. We are in for a treat with Dawn of the Dinosaurs, the third movie in the series.
