Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Before Buck starts to escort the herd to rescue Sid in the underworld he says "abandon hope all ye who enter there", a reference to the inscription above the gates to hell according to Dante Alighieri, Italian poet and author of Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The ankylosaurus (armored dinosaur with clubbed tail) is shown chasing the main characters, as if it was a carnivore. In real life, though, an ankylosaur might have reacted aggressively towards anything it viewed as a threat, even if it wasn't a predator, so in the film it might have been chasing the main characters off because it felt threatened by them. more
Quotes:
Buck: [stopping Manny and the herd from moving on] Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Whoa! What, you-you think this is some sort of tropical getaway? You can't protect your mate, mate. What are you gonna do with those-those flimsy tusks when you run into the Beast?
Crash: Wait. You mean there's something *bigger* than Mommy Dinosaur?
Buck: Aye.
Eddie: "Eye"?
Buck: Aye aye. He's the one that gave me *this*
[pointing to his missing eye, which is covered in a patch]
Eddie: Whoa. He gave you that patch?
Crash: For free? That's so cool.
Eddie: Yeah, maybe he'll give *us* one, too!

Author: kirk-246 from United States

6 hours ago,I went to the movies to catch the 4:40 showing of 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' with my older sister and her boyfriend.I liked the first movie but I haven't seen the second,but that didn't stop me from wanting to see the 3rd installment in the popular series.Boy,am I glad that I spent money and 94 minutes of my life by seeing this.The movie was packed with humor,action,adventure,interesting characters,and even some heart.There are many relationships between characters in this movie that help it from melting.Manny and Ellie are 2 happy woolly mammoths who are expecting a baby.Scrat,the squirrel who continues on his hunt for acorns,meets a female squirrel named Scratee(Scrah-tay),and falls for her.Sid becomes a parent when he discovers 3 eggs underground.In short,I loved this movie.
