The irresistible computer-animated menagerie of Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie and Scrat are back for the third installment of the Ice Age series. Produced by Blue Sky Studios, the same animation studio behind the previous Ice Age films as well as Robots (2005) and Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008), Ice Age 3 doesn’t miss a beat.
After the events of Ice Age: The Meltdown, the relationships between the unlikely friends change. Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) is fed up with being treated like a “house cat.” Scrat, the bumbling sabre-toothed squirrel, finally shows interest in something other than his acorn when the foxy Scratte steals his attention away. Manny, voiced by comedian Ray Romano, and his outspoken girlfriend Ellie (Queen Latifah) await the birth of their first mini-mammoth.
The typically neurotic Manny gets even more wired as his nesting instinct go into overdrive. Ever-lisping Sid the ground sloth (John Leguizamo) also hopes to settle down and start a family of his own and he pilfers a clutch of eggs from an pristine tropical paradise to do so. Soon, Sid is the “mama” of an adorable brood of T-Rexes. It gets worse for Sid when his reptilian babies start chowing down on some hapless mammals. This awesome prehistoric romp gets two opposable thumbs up!
