Say Hello to the New Neighbours

In the third Ice Age movie, the gang must find a way to live peacefully alongside their new dinosaur neighbours

The animals from the Ice Age movies have survived freezing temperatures, flash floods and infighting. Their lives don’t get any easier in the third film, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

In this movie, Manny and Ellie are expecting a baby mammoth. They are joined by Manny’s old pals Diego the sabre-toothed tiger, Sid the Sloth and Ellie’s two crazy brothers, Crash and Eddie. Oh, and let’s not forget about Scrat, the lovable, nut-hunting squirrel.

The group stumbles upon a tropical valley that survived the Ice Age. The lush area is populated by an assortment of strange reptiles and the largest creatures the gang has ever seen — dinosaurs!

You don’t want to make these big guys angry, which is exactly what Sid does when he steals a nest of dinosaur eggs (it seems Sid is lonely and wants to start a family of his own). Raising dinosaurs may sound like fun, but as Sid soon discovers, little dinos can get into big trouble.

And what about Scrat and his quest to find the perfect acorn? His journey takes a detour when he meets the beautiful Scratte, who also wants to get her sharp claws on the acorn. Scrat has definitely met his match, but could their rivalry turn into a romance?
