ICE AGE MELTDOWN SCRAT WITH PIRANHAS SERIES

Mostly it’s just a series of vignettes as the characters try to get away from the flood zone. Unlike its predecessor, Ice Age: The Meltdown really doesn’t have much in the way of a story. However, in order to repopulate the species, he would have to convince Ellie of her real species identity and develop some sort of romantic relationship with her. Manny is excited to know that he is not, as rumored, the last surviving mammoth. Along the way, they encounter another mammoth named Ellie (Queen Latifah), who was raised by possums and therefore doesn’t realize that she isn’t one. Accompanying him are saber-toothed tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and intellectually-challenged sloth Sid (John Leguizamo). Manny convinces everyone to follow him on a trek toward this boat.

Word starts to spread that there is a boat several miles away that can lead animals to safety. (It is an unfortunate coincidence that this movie’s plot – with its talk of broken dams and rising flood waters – calls to mind the tragedy of hurricane Katrina.) Wooly mammoth Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) is the first to realize that, should the nearby ice dam break, the area where he and many other animals live will be completely washed away. The glaciers are slowly but steadily melting, ice is cracking, and flood waters are rising. The sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown, puts them on an opposite path. The original Ice Age found its characters migrating in order to avoid the pending freezing of the earth.
