flock

• Manny(eng. Manny), full name Manfred- woolly mammoth. Once people exterminated his entire family; since then he lived alone for a long time, and this made him gloomy and unsociable, but deep down Manny is very kind: he protects Sid from rhinos, and when a human baby accidentally turns out to be in his care, he goes in search of his relatives to return the baby to them . At first he perceives his fellow travelers - Sid and Diego - as a burden, but gradually gets used to them and begins to feel responsible for them. He considered himself the last representative of his species on Earth until he met Ellie, who soon became his wife. Waiting for the appearance of his first child, Manfred literally goes crazy, nervous about this even more than the expectant mother herself. And in the future, he really “shakes” over his daughter, trying to protect her from everything in the world. Often "complexes" about his size, offended if he is called "fat". In the fifth film, Manny is true to himself, not wanting to recognize his daughter's complete independence and not particularly approving of her chosen one. But after the catastrophe averted, he agreed to let Peach go, and Julian finally began to be considered for his own son.
• Sid(eng. sid), full name Sydney- an awkward, talkative, lisping and always annoying sloth (besides, he frankly neglects personal hygiene). He is not stupid at all (most of the ideas come to his mind), but because of his frivolity and sloppiness, he endlessly gets into trouble, and Manny and Diego now and then have to rescue him. Friends treat him like a big child - they are often annoyed at him, but they love him; according to Diego, Sid is "the gooey, sticky substance that holds our pack together".
  Sid always has a cherished dream - to start his own family. Little by little, this dream turns into a real psychosis: having taken three dinosaurs for his upbringing, he flatly refuses to return them to his mother, which is why he gets into the world of dinosaurs and creates problems for friends who are forced to go to save him. In the fifth film, Sid falls in love with the geotopian beauty Brooke and becomes engaged to her.
• Diego(eng. Diego) - a proud and independent saber-toothed tiger. At first, he acts as a secret enemy: he joined Manny and Sid in order to seize the moment to steal the baby and take it to his leader. However, Diego then abandons his intention and becomes a full member of the company. Later, when Manny and Ellie were expecting a baby, Diego felt that he no longer had a place among them, as he was becoming too "soft", and decides to leave. But, having learned that Sid was abducted by a dinosaur, he, along with everyone, embarks on a rescue expedition. As a result, helping his friends and fighting for them, Diego realizes that he has something to stay in their pack for. In the fourth part, Diego meets the beautiful pirate Shira; At first, their relationship is rather tense, but then Diego begins to realize that he has fallen in love with Shira. Eventually, Diego and Shira become a couple.
• Scrat(eng. Scrat) - a small male fictional animal - "saber-toothed squirrel". He has his own story and his own problems: he stubbornly chases the same acorn - he finds it, then loses it again. He almost never communicates with other characters, but his actions directly affect their lives: in one cartoon, his manipulations with an acorn cause a glacier to collapse, in another, a flood, in a third, they open the entrance to the world of dinosaurs, in a fourth, they make entire continents move. , and in the fifth creates the solar system and destroys life on Mars.
  In the third film, Scrat has a new interest - the cute squirrel Scratty, who becomes both the object of his adoration and a rival in the fight for the coveted acorn.
• Ellie(eng. Ellie) - a young mammoth. Like Manny himself, she was left without parents very early, and she was adopted by a family of opossums. As a result, Ellie came to think of herself as a possum and adopted all their habits, including the fear of birds of prey and the manner of hanging upside down in a tree, catching a branch with her tail. Manfred had to convince Ellie for a long time that she was a mammoth (although she never lost the habit of the original point of view). At the end of the second film, Manny and Ellie become spouses. They are a very happy couple; although they argue all the time for any reason, this is just the case when "darlings scold - they only amuse themselves."
  Ellie became very good friends with Sid and Diego and, even being pregnant, did not want to remain safe on the surface, and together with her friends went to save Sid. Despite some eccentricity, she has enough common sense, and Ellie looks at many things more wisely and calmly than Manny.
• Crash(eng. Crash) and Eddie(eng. Eddie) - two hooligan possums, Ellie's half-brothers. Insolent and annoying, they always “get” everyone with their antics, but they are sincerely attached to their named sister and take care of her in their own way. After the birth, Peaches transfer their care to her; she, in turn, perceives them as blood relatives. Having met Buck in the world of dinosaurs, Crash and Eddie began to respect this tireless and fearless beast.
• Peach(eng. Peaches) - mammoth, daughter of Manfred and Ellie. Born in the world of dinosaurs when the whole company was going to save Sid. Ellie gave her daughter that name, considering her "sweet, round and fluffy," as Manfred once told her herself. In the next film, Peach has already grown up and, like all teenagers, seeks to prove that she is quite mature and independent, which is why she constantly argues with her father. At the end of the fifth part, Peach married Julian.
• Louis(eng. Louis) - mole. Peach's best friend, secretly in love with her. He is ready to protect her from any danger and for her sake is not afraid to even challenge Captain Gutt to battle.
• Shira(eng. Shira) - Gatta's senior assistant, a white saber-toothed tigress. For some unknown reason, she left her pack and joined the pirates. Gatt appointed her as his first mate for her courage and strength; she served him faithfully, but later gave up piracy out of love for Diego. In the fifth film, Shira is already shown as his wife and friend of the entire "old company".
• Granny(eng. Granny) - a female sloth, Sid's grandmother. A dilapidated, but quite cheerful old woman. Pretty grumpy and mean. Relatives consider her abnormal, but in reality she, like her grandson, is much smarter than she seems. In the fifth film, she falls in love with Teddy the Geotopian strong man. Granny's true name is Gladys.

Plot

Good old friends: Sid the sloth (voiced by Anton Kamolov in the Russian version), Diego the saber-toothed tiger, a couple of opossums and two mammoths - gloomy Manfred, whose friends simply call Manny, and his cheerful and cheerful wife Ellie (her role is dubbed by TV presenter Olga Shelest) , return to us from the first minutes of the cartoon.
In the new part of the Ice Age, everyone should have a couple or at least children, like Sid. The one who doesn't "steam" in the cartoon either suffers from melancholy, like Diego, or goes crazy, like a new character - weasel Buck - Indiana Jones of the dinosaur era.

Ellie is preparing to become a mother, and Manny's future father develops a manic syndrome on this basis - he is building a playground and cannot think of anything else but the future addition to the family. Tiger Diego is lonely and getting weaker every day. He gets bored in this "pack" and is about to leave.

The sad mood shifts to a life-long optimist, sloth Sid. He, too, feels lonely without Manny's attention and, in search of new friends, comes across giant eggs, which he is going to "hatch" with joy and inspiration. How can one not recall the hypertrophied maternal instinct of a sloth, which he showed when raising a small human cub in the first part of the Ice Age. When, to everyone's surprise, small tyronosaurus hatch out of eggs, which seem to have become extinct, it becomes clear that meetings with their adult relatives - dinosaurs, cannot be avoided.

The real mistress of these same eggs breaks out of the dungeon, where, it turns out, a reserve of prehistoric pangolins has been preserved, and takes her cubs along with the unlucky sloth. A motley flock goes in search of their friend and finds themselves in a world overflowing with dinosaurs. This is where the incredible adventures of the whole company begin. As in the previous parts, the ridiculous nonsense of the ridiculous sloth combines almost incompatible characters into one link.

In terms of collections in the first weeks of hire, the third part of the "Ice Age" surpassed the part at number two, which was called "Global Warming", more than twice, collecting 67.5 million dollars. To date, Dawn of the Dinosaurs has grossed over $550 million on a budget of $90 million—an undeniable success.

A new character appears in the "pack" - a schizophrenic weasel named Buck. Buck grew up in this environment, survived and adapted. He learned how to handle dinosaurs, but lost his mind. In the course of the cartoon, Buck either talks on a stone like on a telephone, or marries a pineapple. This role, by the way, is duplicated by Vadim Galygin from the Comedy Club.

According to the creators of the cartoon, they tried to create as bright and colorful the underworld as possible in order to diversify the endless white landscapes of the "Ice Age".

But the main highlight of this part, as well as the two previous ones, is, of course, a rat squirrel named Scrat, who, in his eternal pursuit of a coveted acorn, meets a cute flying squirrel Scratty. She differs from Scrat in cunning and the presence of brains. Their joint pursuit of food gradually turns into a love affair. Together they increase the rating of the cartoon and add a good tens of thousands of viewers to it all over the world.

By the way, Scrat, beloved by the audience, could "die" even before the release of the first part on the director's editing table. Then, in 2002, directors Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldana seriously thought about removing this minor character from the picture.

Children's cartoon with non-children's jokes

Cartoon "Ice Age 3" MirSovetov can safely be attributed to children's cartoons. Funny adventures of funny animals, colorful special effects that look especially beautiful in 3-D format. In the "Age of the Dinosaurs" slips a couple of jokes that are not at all childish, however, most likely, children simply will not understand their true meaning.

Plans have already been announced to create the fourth part of this beloved world called "Ice Age". According to the producers, in the sequel, the cartoon characters will appear before us in the form of animated characters of the modern historical museum.

As already mentioned, "Ice Age" will appeal primarily to children, somewhere up to 16 years old. Perhaps their parents will find a few attractive moments in the picture. But the general feeling is that it would be time to finish this endless film adaptation of the adventures of prehistoric animals - the plot is 100% used and does not promise anything new.

Ice Age is the second highest-grossing animated franchise at the box office. The cartoon is wildly popular mainly because of the extremely charming characters. Sloth from the "Ice Age" among the constellation of images stands out for its spontaneity and pronounced comedy. So what kind of animal is this? And what is his biography?

Sloth from the "Ice Age": name, features of appearance and character

The action of the animated film "Ice Age" takes place in the prehistoric era, during the total icing of the Earth. The main characters are funny animals that really lived in the Ice Age: saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, brontotheres, dodos, etc. And of course, more familiar animals are involved in the plot. For example, the second most important hero of the Ice Age is a sloth.

What is the name of the sloth from Ice Age? The filmmakers named the star character Sidney. If we draw an analogy, then Seed for Ice Age is something like Donkey for Shrek: awkward and lisping, a little awkward, he creates almost all the comical situations in the cartoon.

Sid is an idea generator. He likes to chat very much, practically does not close his mouth, which annoys everyone around. However, a sloth cannot be called completely stupid. Rather, immediate. Because of his indiscretion and sloppiness, the character constantly creates problems for himself and his friends.

Due to the fact that Sid was abandoned by his relatives, he was ignited by an obsession with starting his own family as soon as possible. This theme is actively developed throughout the animation franchise.

Sloth from the "Ice Age": photo, the role of the character in the plot of the first part

In "Ice Age-1" begins the massive immigration of animals to the South. Everyone leaves in packs, and his relatives left the sloth Sid to the mercy of fate.

Then the restless hero sticks like Velcro to the gloomy loner - the mammoth Manny. On the way, a mammoth and a sloth witness the death of a woman who gives her baby to the animals for preservation. Since Sid's family is a fixed idea, he takes the fate of the baby to heart and convinces the mammoth to go in search of a human "pack" in order to return the baby.

A little later, Diego the tiger joins Sid and Manny. At first, the lisping sloth annoys his friends. But then everyone gets used to Sydney's quirks, and he becomes everyone's favorite.

Sid's fate in Ice Age 2

The second part of the franchise begins with the theme of global warming. Manfred, Sydney and Diego go together to find a ship to escape the flood.

On the way, the company meets the new main characters of the cartoon - mammoth Ellie and her two "brothers" - opossums. Also, Sid accidentally encounters a whole tribe of his relatives. However, they again inflict mental trauma on the comical hero: mistaking Sid for a deity, a flock of sloths decides to throw him into boiling lava, thereby sacrificing him. Fortunately, Sydney manages to escape.

Despite all the dangers, the company gets to its destination safe and sound.

Funny sloth and the "Age of the Dinosaurs"

The sloth from the "Ice Age" in the third issue of the franchise becomes almost the central character, because he ... adopted three dinosaurs. Obsessed with the idea of ​​creating his own family, Sidney did not even think that dinosaurs have a real mother. Sid's enterprise ends with the fact that he is again forced to save his friends from an angry dinosaur.

Cartoon Continental Drift

The sloth from "Ice Age" continues to be the "engine" of the plot in the cartoon "Continental Drift".

This time, the family throws off the same restless and annoying Granny around his neck, like Sidney himself. By chance, the sloth and his Grandmother, as well as Manny and Diego, find themselves on a breakaway ice floe in the middle of raging water, and then are captured by pirates. They have to fight Captain Gutt and his crew in order to be able to reunite with their loved ones again.

Sid in Ice Age 5

The sloth from the "Ice Age" in the 5th part of the cartoon finally finds his love. However, the cute sloth Francine does not even think about dating Sydney due to the fact that he is ill-mannered, unsympathetic and looks untidy. This comes as a blow to Sid, who has already replayed his entire life together with Francine in his head.

However, Sydney has no time to be sad: a meteor shower suddenly hits the Earth, and then it turns out that the planet is threatened by a giant asteroid. The heroes, beloved by the audience, once again join forces to prevent a catastrophe.

In search of magnets that could help, the Flock wanders into the land of Geotopia. Here Sydney manages to fall in love again, but with another sloth - Brooke. Brook joins the Pack and helps them save Earth from an incoming asteroid. And in the finale, Sydney and Brooke get engaged.

In 2019, the final cartoon of the franchise will be released. What troubles the heroes will get into in the new film - one can only guess. But one thing is for sure: Sidney the sloth will remain just as funny and restless, because he is a real decoration of the cartoon.

One of the most popular cartoons of our time is Ice Age. The characters of this animated franchise captivated young viewers and their parents at first sight. Who are they: the heroes of the Ice Age?

"Ice Age" (cartoon): characters. mammoth manny

The protagonist of the cartoon franchise is an uncommunicative, but terribly "correct" and decent mammoth Manfred. Behind a gloomy mask, Manny hides his sensitivity and kindness, as well as the great grief that he had to endure, because the once human tribe killed his family.

Manny always feels responsible for those he has "tamed". Despite the fact that the sloth Sid from the very beginning caused him one irritation, the mammoth continued to protect him and rescue him from dangerous situations. In subsequent parts, Manny found himself a wife and they even had a daughter.

"Ice Age": the names of the characters. Sloth Sid

Sid the sloth is the main star of the Ice Age. Without this funny and very hilarious character, the franchise would hardly have enjoyed such success.

Sid is annoying and talkative. He speaks a million words a minute, so even his own family couldn't stand him. After the relatives left the lisping sloth to its fate, he joined Manny and this couple did not part anymore. However, Sid had a complex about the family - he tried to get himself new relatives at all costs. So his “adopted” children turned out to be three dinosaurs.

Saber-toothed tiger Diego

Diego appears in the very first part of the cartoon "Ice Age". The characters Manny and Sid meet him near a human settlement when they decide to pick up a lost baby and carry him to his "pack". From the very beginning, Diego planned to lead the sloth and the mammoth into an ambush, take away the child, and kill fellow travelers. But along the way, the main characters became friends, so Diego saved them and became a permanent member of the comical trio.

In the subsequent parts, Diego meets the same brave and independent tigress and they begin an affair.

Saber-toothed squirrel

Another "decoration" of the film is a stupid saber-toothed squirrel. The center of her universe is an acorn. She chases him around the world with bulging eyes. It is because of this acorn that all troubles begin: tectonic shifts, global warming, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

In the third cartoon, Scrat has a partner - a female saber-toothed squirrel named Scratty. In the future, they create all the outrages together and still cannot agree on who will still have the cherished acorn.

Mammoth Ellie

What are the names of the characters of the "Ice Age" from the first part, we figured it out. In the second part, another mammoth joins the main company - a girl named Ellie.

Ellie and Manny are the last mammoths on Earth. Since Ellie's parents died early, she was raised by two comical opossums. As a result, the animal seriously believed that it belongs to the class of opossums and led the same way of life for a long time. Ellie's habit of hanging upside down from a tree branch looked especially comical.

Ellie is very sociable and emotional. She immediately became attached to her new friends, especially to Manny. At the end of the second part, the last two mammoths on Earth become spouses. A little later, their daughter Peach is born.

Opossum duo

The cartoon "Ice Age", whose characters are well known to both children and adults, would not be so ironic and cheerful if it were not for the duet of possums.

Opossums are real animals, unlike the saber-toothed squirrel, which was made up by the creators of the franchise. Crash and Eddie have a boorish sense of humor, impudence, and also like to play tricks. Manny from the very beginning was not enthusiastic about such "relatives" of Ellie. But Crash and Eddie sincerely loved and cared for the mammoth, so they had to come to terms with their presence in the “pack”.

With the birth of Peach, the two opossums settled down a bit and turned their attention to the little mammoth.

Mammoth Peach

In the Ice Age cartoon, the characters Manny and Ellie started a family, and then became the parents of an adorable girl named Peach.

The birth of a girl brought a revival to the company of the main characters - all attention turned to the child. Her father, Manny, especially trembled over Peaches. Over time, the baby mammoth grew into a beautiful young lady who became angry when she was overprotected. In addition, Peach fell in love for the first time in her life, and not the best representative of the mammoth family became her chosen one.

Mole Louis

A mole named Louis appeared only in the fourth film of the franchise. He is a close friend of Peaches. As is often the case, the girl never took Luis seriously. However, this did not stop Luis from being jealous of Peaches for her beloved Ethan.

Little brave Louis for the sake of "the lady of his heart" was ready to fight with anyone - even with the pirate captain Gatt himself! However, this character remained the hero of only the fourth series - in the fifth film, Louis does not participate in the adventures of the main characters.

Other characters

In the animated series "Ice Age" the characters changed from film to film. Over the 14 years of the franchise's existence, the adventures of the main characters have taken part: the saber-toothed tigress Shira, the annoying grandmother Sid, the stupid brontotheres Karl and Frank, the sloths Jennifer and Rachel, as well as many other animals.

In July 2016, the fifth cartoon, codenamed Collision Inevitable, will hit the big screens. And this part will involve even more new and comical characters.

You don't remember What is the name of the sloth from ice age? Of course, the sloth's name is Sid. It was the cartoon "Ice Age" that made the sloth so popular and famous. Although much of the sloths in the "Ice Age", to put it mildly, can be called fiction. Even the name itself suggests that the sloth is a very slow animal. On the ground, sloths are completely helpless, the average speed of its movement is about 150 meters per hour. Slower than a turtle. This fact, like many other features of the sloth in the Ice Age cartoon, was ignored. Anyway…

Sloths are mammals of the edentulous order, have a body slightly more than half a meter and weigh from 4 to 8 kg. The front paws of sloths are longer than the hind ones, the toes have thick sickle-shaped claws. There are two-toed and three-toed sloths. Thanks to the movable neck, the sloth can rotate its head almost 270 degrees. The sloth is covered with grayish-brown long hair, in which blue-green algae often develop, giving a greenish tint. Because of the slowness, a moth often starts and lives in the wool of sloths - a moth.

Sloths are common in Central and South America. Before the arrival of people, North America was also inhabited. Sloths live in trees, camouflaging themselves in foliage. Sloths are very harmless animals - they can neither run away from predators nor protect themselves. But, despite this, in some areas sloths are numerous. Sloths feed mainly on tree leaves. Such food is non-nutritious and low in calories. In addition, the leaves are very difficult and slowly digested (about a month). Interestingly, the weight of a well-fed sloth is 2/3 of the food in his stomach. Sloths sleep up to 15 hours a day on trees, catching their paws on a branch. Little sloths are held on the mother, clinging to the wool.

The progenitors of modern ones were giant sloths - megateria. They were similar in size to elephants and fed exclusively on plant foods. Megatheria became extinct more than 10 thousand years ago. It is believed that some species of these giant sloths were used by primitive people as a meat pet.

The three main characters known from the Ice Age cartoon and its sequels are based on animals that actually lived during the ice age that began in the Pleistocene era. However, a saber-toothed squirrel named Scrat, obsessed with acorns, turned out to be a scientific surprise.

mammoth manny

Manny is a woolly mammoth Mammothus primigenius), a species that lived about 200,000 years ago in the steppes of Eastern Eurasia and North America.

The woolly mammoth was about the same size as, but had several distinguishing features, including very thick fur all over the body, consisting of long guard hairs and a shorter, dense undercoat. Manny was reddish-brown in color, but the color of other mammoths ranged from black to light.

The mammoth's ears were smaller than those of the African elephant, which helped it retain body heat and minimize the risk of frostbite. Another difference between mammoths and elephants is a pair of extremely long tusks that curve in an arc around the muzzle. Like modern elephants, mammoths used their tusks along with their trunks to lift food, fight predators and other mammoths, and move objects around as needed. The woolly mammoth fed on grass, including sedge, as there were few trees in the grassy steppe landscape.

Sid the giant ground sloth

Sid is an extinct ground sloth Megatheriidae, whose representatives were related to modern three-toed sloths, but they differed significantly in appearance. Giant ground sloths lived on Earth, not in trees, and were enormous in size (close to the size of mammoths).

They had large claws (about 65 cm long) but did not use them to catch other animals. Like those sloths that live today, giant ground sloths were not predators. Recent studies of fossilized sloth feces suggest that these giant creatures ate tree leaves, grass, bushes, and yucca. They appeared in South America, but gradually migrated north and reached the southern regions of North America.

Diego - Smilodon

Diego's long fangs characterize his personality: he is a saber-toothed tiger, more accurately known as Smilodon (an extinct subfamily - Machairodontinae). Smilodon were the largest feline that ever roamed our planet, lived in North and South America during the Pleistocene era. They look more like bears than cats, with heavy, stocky bodies built to hunt bison, tapir, deer, American camels, horses, and ground sloths like Sid. “They were able to attack quickly and deliver powerful, deep bites to the throat or upper neck of their prey,” explains Per Christiansen of Aalborg University in Denmark.

Saber-toothed squirrel Scrat

Unlike Manny, Sid, and Diego, the "saber-toothed" squirrel Scrat, who is always chasing acorns, is not based on a real animal from the Pleistocene. It was a funny image from the imagination of the creators of the cartoon.

However, in 2011, a strange mammalian fossil was discovered in South America that looks very similar to the Scrat squirrel. "The primitive mouse-sized creature lived among the dinosaurs about 100 million years ago, had a snout, very long teeth and large eyes - just like the popular animated character Scrat," according to the Daily Mail.

Other animals that lived during the Ice Age

• Mastodons;
• Cave lions;
• Indricotherium;
• Woolly rhinos;
• Steppe bison;
• Giant short-faced bears, etc.

• Ice Age wonderful cartoon. Interesting for the whole family to watch, funny and cheerful. His characters are named:

  • mammoth - Manfred or Manny,
  • saber-toothed tiger - Diego, he is the best friend of Mammoth Manny,
  • sloth - Sid,
  • mammoth - Ellie, Manny's friend,
  • Ellie and Manny's daughter - Peach,
  • saber-toothed squirrel - Scrat, getting into trouble,
  • possums - Eddie and Crash.

• Manny(eng. Manny), full name Manfred- woolly mammoth. Protects Sid from rhinos, and when a human baby accidentally ends up in his care, he goes in search of his relatives in order to return the baby to them. At first he perceives his fellow travelers - Sid and Diego - as a burden, but gradually gets used to them and begins to feel responsible for them. He considered himself the last representative of his species on Earth until he met Ellie, who soon became his wife. Waiting for the appearance of his first child, Manfred literally goes crazy, nervous about this even more than the expectant mother herself. And in the future, he really “shakes” over his daughter, trying to protect her from everything in the world. Often "complexes" about his size, offended if he is called "fat". In the fifth film, Manny is true to himself, not wanting to recognize his daughter's complete independence and not particularly approving of her chosen one. But after the catastrophe averted, he agreed to let Peach go, and Julian finally began to be considered for his own son.
• Sid(eng. sid), full name Sydney- an awkward, talkative, lisping and always annoying sloth (besides, he frankly neglects personal hygiene). He is not stupid at all (most of the ideas come to his mind), but because of his frivolity and sloppiness, he endlessly gets into trouble, and Manny and Diego now and then have to rescue him. Friends treat him like a big child - they are often annoyed at him, but they love him; according to Diego, Sid is "the gooey, sticky substance that holds our pack together".
  Sid always has a cherished dream - to start his own family. Little by little, this dream turns into a real psychosis: having taken three dinosaurs for his upbringing, he flatly refuses to return them to his mother, which is why he gets into the world of dinosaurs and creates problems for friends who are forced to go to save him. In the fifth film, Sid falls in love with the geotopian beauty Brooke and becomes engaged to her.
• Diego(eng. Diego) - a proud and independent saber-toothed tiger. At first, he acts as a secret enemy: he joined Manny and Sid in order to seize the moment to steal the baby and take it to his leader. However, Diego then abandons his intention and becomes a full member of the company. Later, when Manny and Ellie were expecting a baby, Diego felt that he no longer had a place among them, as he was becoming too "soft", and decides to leave. But, having learned that Sid was abducted by a dinosaur, he, along with everyone, embarks on a rescue expedition. As a result, helping his friends and fighting for them, Diego realizes that he has something to stay in their pack for. In the fourth part, Diego meets the beautiful pirate Shira; At first, their relationship is quite tense, but then the tiger begins to realize that he has fallen in love with her. Eventually they become a couple.
• Ellie(eng. Ellie) - a young mammoth. Like Manny himself, she was left without parents very early, and she was adopted by a family of opossums. As a result, Ellie came to think of herself as a possum and adopted all their habits, including the fear of birds of prey and the manner of hanging upside down in a tree, catching a branch with her tail. Manfred had to convince Ellie for a long time that she was a mammoth (although she never lost the habit of the original point of view). At the end of the second film, Manny and Ellie become spouses. They are a very happy couple; although they argue all the time for any reason, this is just the case when "darlings scold - they only amuse themselves."
  Ellie became very good friends with Sid and Diego and, even being pregnant, did not want to remain safe on the surface, and together with her friends went to save Sid. Despite some eccentricity, she has enough common sense, and Ellie looks at many things more wisely and calmly than Manny.
• Peach(eng. Peaches) - mammoth, daughter of Manny and Ellie. Born in the world of dinosaurs when the whole company was going to save Sid. Ellie gave her daughter that name, considering her "sweet, round and fluffy," as Manny once told her herself. In the next film, Peach has already grown up and, like all teenagers, seeks to prove that she is quite mature and independent, which is why she constantly argues with her father. At the end of the fifth part, she married Julian.
• Julian(eng. Julian) - a young mammoth, Peach's fiancé. He is funny, foolish and agile, but in fact he is smart, brave and honest. Manny was not happy that the young couple was going to live separately. At the end of the cartoon, Julian married Peach.
• Shira(eng. Shira) - Gatta's senior assistant, a white saber-toothed tigress. For some unknown reason, she left her pack and joined the pirates. Gatt appointed her as his first mate for her courage and strength; she served him faithfully, but later gave up piracy out of love for Diego. In the fifth film, Shira is already shown as his wife and friend of the entire "old company".
• Granny(eng. Granny) - a female sloth, Sid's grandmother. A dilapidated, but quite cheerful old woman. Pretty grumpy and mean. Relatives consider her abnormal, but in reality she, like her grandson, is much smarter than she seems. In the fifth film, she falls in love with Teddy the Geotopian strong man. Granny's true name is Gladys.
• Crash(eng. Crash) and Eddie(eng. Eddie) - two hooligan possums, Ellie's half-brothers. Insolent and annoying, they always “get” everyone with their antics, but they are sincerely attached to their named sister and take care of her in their own way. After the birth, Peaches transfer their care to her; she, in turn, perceives them as blood relatives. Having met Buck in the world of dinosaurs, Crash and Eddie began to respect this tireless and fearless beast.
• Louis(eng. Louis) - mole. Peach's best friend, secretly in love with her. He is ready to protect her from any danger and for her sake is not afraid to even challenge Captain Gutt to battle.
• Scrat(eng. Scrat) - a small male fictional animal - "saber-toothed squirrel". He has his own story and his own problems: he stubbornly chases the same acorn - he finds it, then loses it again. He almost never communicates with other characters, but his actions directly affect their lives: in one cartoon, his manipulations with an acorn cause a glacier to collapse, in another, a flood, in a third, they open the entrance to the world of dinosaurs, in a fourth, they make entire continents move. , and in the fifth creates the solar system and destroys life on Mars.
  In the third film, Scrat has a new interest - the cute squirrel Scratty, who becomes both the object of his adoration and a rival in the fight for the coveted acorn.

The three main characters known from the Ice Age cartoon and its sequels are based on animals that actually lived during the ice age that began in the Pleistocene era. However, a saber-toothed squirrel named Scrat, obsessed with acorns, turned out to be a scientific surprise.

mammoth manny

Manny is a woolly mammoth Mammothus primigenius), a species that lived about 200,000 years ago in the steppes of Eastern Eurasia and North America.

The Woolly Mammoth was about the same size as the Woolly Mammoth, but had several distinctive features, including very thick fur all over its body, consisting of long guard hairs and a shorter, denser undercoat. Manny was reddish-brown in color, but the color of other mammoths ranged from black to light.

The mammoth's ears were smaller than those of the African elephant, which helped it retain body heat and minimize the risk of frostbite. Another difference between mammoths and elephants is a pair of extremely long tusks that curve in an arc around the muzzle. Like modern elephants, mammoths used their tusks along with their trunks to lift food, fight predators and other mammoths, and move objects around as needed. The woolly mammoth fed on grass, including sedge, as there were few trees in the grassy steppe landscape.
