Movie: Ice Age

A family favorite this is right here. Perfect movie for kids and adults. Most cartoon movies are best for kids, but this one has a lot of comedy that parents will enjoy as well.

It starts three main characters; Manny, a mammoth, Sid, a sloth, and Diego, a saber-tooth tiger. They are all supposed to be migrating south for the ice age that is occurring, but they get slightly side-tracked.

Manny isn't much of a social interactive mammoth. He likes to go solo and thus is migrating north instead of south.

Sid, he runs into Manny because his family left him. He goes and steps into crap and then walks into a pair of rhino's food. Well they want to kill him when he runs into Manny and begs him to safe him.

Diego is with a pack of saber-tooth tigers who want to destroy a human group who killed so many of their own. They want the baby of the leader of the group. Diego runs into Manny and Sid when then baby is saved by Manny. Diego claims he is just trying to take the baby back to his herd.

With a little reluctance, Manny tells Diego he can lead the way but that he has his eye on him. They run into a few problems though. When the baby starts crying they aren't exactly sure what they are supposed to do about it, but turns out the little guy is hungry so they have to get him food.

Along the way, Diego meets up with his pack and tells them that he is bringing them a mammoth. That makes them really excited, but the longer Diego is with Sid and Manny, it's harder for him to want to kill his friends.

In the end, before they get to the ambush spot, Diego tells them the truth so they can work together to save themselves and still get the baby to his family.

While they are taking out the saber-tooth tigers, Diego is hurt and looks like he's out for the count. Manny and Sid reluctantly leave only because they need to get the baby back to his family and they make it just in time.

The three learn a big about each other during this journey and become, as Sid says, an odd herd.
