![]() Scrat is the most entertaining part of this chapter, as the story again cuts away to him a number of times. Essentially if you've seen the other Ice Age movies, you'll know what to expect here. As usual, Sid finds plenty of ways to mess things up but ultimately redeem himself. The story still finds time for a few domestic problems, as Peaches is planning on getting married and moving away from her parents who aren't so hot on that idea, and the two tigers debate whether to have kids of their own or not. Thankfully, they have help from their weasel friend Buck, who they first met in Dawn of the Dinosaurs and has a plan to stop the asteroid from hitting- although a few enemy dinosaurs from the sub-world will try to stop him as they figure they'll become the planet's dominant species if everyone else becomes extinct first. Remember that flying saucer seen briefly in an ice cave in the first movie? As the ice has been thawing ever since then, Scrat's acorn has rolled into the ship and he inadvertently blasts off into space, setting in motion a realignment of the planets and causing a huge asteroid to head towards Earth and crash right into our heroes' habitat- wiping out not just their lives but their entire species for eternity. Scrat is still a background character to the herd and rarely crosses paths with them, but as his antics often affect their fate they do so here in a huge way. The prehistoric rodent Scrat is also back of course, who loves acorns like I love media and is obsessed with collecting them no matter how elusive they get. ![]() The Ice Age franchise continues with its fifth movie, once again following the misadventures of the herd of misfits: Manny the wooly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), his wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) and their daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer), Ellie's possum "brothers" Eddie (Josh Peck) and Crash (Seann William Scott), along with saber-toothed tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and his mate Shira (Jennifer Lopez), and the biggest misfit of the bunch Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) and his grandmother (Wanda Sykes) who was dumped on him by his family in the previous entry. ![]()
