Manny the mammoth, Sid the loquacious sloth, and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger go on a comical quest to return a human baby back to his father, across a world on the brink of an ice age.
Back when the Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and animals were scurrying to save themselves from the upcoming Ice Age, a sloth named Sid, a woolly mammoth named Manny, and a saber-toothed tiger named Diego are forced to become unlikely heroes. The three reluctantly come together when they have to return a human child to its father while braving the deadly elements of the impending Ice Age.—Anna <[email protected]>
On Earth 20,000 years ago, everything was covered in ice. A group of friends, Manny, a mammoth, Diego, a saber tooth tiger, and Sid, a sloth encounter an Eskimo human baby. They must try to return the baby back to his tribe before a group of saber tooth tigers find him and eat him.
20,000 BC. With the primaeval world on the brink of the Ice Age, a tribe of humans breaks camp to follow an endless convoy of prehistoric animals migrating south. However, after a sudden attack by a hungry pack of sabre-toothed tigers, an innocent infant finds himself unprotected. In the wake of this unfortunate event, Manny, the enormous shaggy mammoth, embarks on a peril-laden quest to track down the baby's parents, along with Sid, the lazy sloth, and sly Diego, the tiger. But grave danger is closer than they think. Can the unlikely rescuers find the human family before thick glaciers cover the Earth from end to end?—Nick Riganas
Set in the past in the ice age, a mammoth, a sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger find a lost human baby and must do everything that they can to return him back to his colony. On the journey, they are being hunted by a pack of saber-tooth tigers who want to kill the human baby.—RECB3
A herd of prehistoric animals is migrating south to escape an impending ice age. Sid, a clumsy ground sloth, is accidentally left behind by his family and sets out alone in pursuit of the herd. Along the way, he inadvertently ruins a meal for a pair of angry Brontosaurus, who attack him. Just as things seem hopeless, Manny, a surly woolly mammoth who has decided not to migrate with the others, reluctantly saves Sid. Although Manny wants to be left alone, Sid insists on following him, and Manny, constantly irritated by Sid's outgoing nature, begrudgingly accepts.
Meanwhile, a human tribe has recently killed part of a Smilodon pack for their pelts. Soto, the leader of the remaining saber-toothed tigers, seeks revenge by targeting the humans. He orders his lieutenant, Diego, to capture and bring back Roshan, the infant son of the human chief. After Roshan's mother flees with the baby, leaping over a waterfall to escape the attack, Diego fails to prevent her escape and is punished by Soto. He is given one final chance: bring Roshan back alive, or face death himself.
Sid and Manny find Roshan and his injured mother at the bottom of the waterfall, with the mother fading. She leaves the baby in their care before being swept away by the current. Sid tries to return the baby to the humans but finds their camp deserted. Diego then appears, offering to take the baby from them, but Manny refuses, mistrusting Diego and instead orders him to track the humans. Diego complies but secretly informs Soto of his plans to bring both the baby and a mammoth to the pack.
After facing numerous challenges and moments of bonding, the trio-Sid, Manny, and Diego-come across a cave filled with human paintings, triggering a painful flashback for Manny about his own family's slaughter by humans. Despite his past, Manny has grown fond of Roshan. Meanwhile, Diego begins to question his loyalty to Soto. When Manny saves him from a deadly lava flow, Diego finally decides to switch sides. He warns Sid and Manny of an ambush at Half Peak, urging them to trust him if they want to survive.
The group comes up with a plan to trick Soto's pack, but things go awry when Soto and two other tigers corner Manny at a cliff. In a desperate attempt to save Manny, Diego steps in to fight Soto, suffering severe injuries. In the chaos, Soto is struck by falling icicles, killing him, and the remaining pack members flee.
As Sid and Manny mourn Diego's apparent death, he convinces them to leave him behind and return Roshan to his human family before the mountain passes become too dangerous. Manny and Sid reach the human settlement just in time for Roshan to be reunited with his father. The chief gifts Manny a necklace as a token of gratitude. Just as the pair prepares to leave, Diego, having survived his injuries, catches up to bid farewell to Roshan. The reunited trio sets off to continue their journey south, now with their own bond of friendship stronger than ever.
