    Storyline

    Edit
    Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat are still together and enjoying the perks of their now melting world. Manny may be ready to start a family, but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; Manny thinks he may be the last one. That is, until he miraculously finds Ellie, the only female mammoth left in the world. Their only problems: They can't stand each other--and Ellie somehow thinks she's a possum! Ellie comes with some excess baggage in the form of her two possum "brothers"-- Crash and Eddie, a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky, loud-mouthed troublemakers. Manny, Sid and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate has one major drawback: A huge glacial dam holding off oceans of water is about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most unlikely family--in any "Age"-- as they embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape towards their salvation. —gavin (gunmasterM@hotmail.com)

    • Trivia
      The 3rd highest grossing film of 2006, and the highest grossing animated film of 2006.
    • Goofs
      Sid is wrong. Tigers, and all cats, do have the ability to swim, and at an early age, too.
    • Quotes

      Sid: Maybe we could rapidly evolve into water creatures.

      Diego: That's genius, Sid.

      Sid: Call me Squid.

    • Crazy credits
      Just like the original movie, the end credits are alongside drawings made by the children of the Blue Sky employees.
    • Alternate versions
      In the UK version, Lee Ryan is the voice of the Elk Dad and the song 'Real Love' is played during the credits. Also, the credits and drawings are rendered in blue instead of white. This version, however, did not end up in the UK DVD release, even though Lee Ryan and his song were credited.

    A lovely film with a great storyline.
    This is a lovely film. Great animation and a brilliant storyline for an animation film!

    The characters are all lovable and there are a few extremely funny parts in it! Just little phrases and actions the characters do is hilarious!

    Ice Age: The Meltdown follows the animals on their journey to find dry land when they discover that their lives are at risk if they stay put due to the ice melting.......there are some little adventures and discoveries along the way though!

    If you have seen the first one you will like this and in case you are wondering......he is still trying to get his nut!

    I think it is a must see for all ages, not just children.
