Manny, Diego, and Sid meet these survivalist dodo birds in a militant outpost during their journey. "We put our heads together and it's turned out to be funny in some places and dramatic in others." "Fox handed us the first draft of a script that was an action-adventure dramatic story and said, 'make it into a comedy,' which was no mean feat," says Wedge.
But there are also darker action scenes involving the tigers that caused the MPAA to give the film a PG rating for "mild peril."Ī new voxel-based system helped speed the raytracing of the hair strands used to create Ice Age stars Diego, Sid, and Manny, according to Maurice Van Swaaij, manager of software development. Along the way, there's slapstick, physical comedy reminiscent of a Charlie Chaplin film or a Chuck Jones animation. (Scrat, the squirrel, doesn't talk.)ĭirected by Blue Sky's Chris Wedge, an Oscar winner for the studio's short animation "Bunny," the film tells the story of disparate and antisocial characters who, for reasons of their own, form a bond as they attempt to return a human child to his parents. Released in mid-March, the 20th Century Fox presentation of the Blue Sky Studios film features Ray Romano as the voice of Manny the mammoth, John Leguizamo as Sid the Sloth, and Denis Leary as Diego the Saber-toothed Tiger. The prehistoric animated stars of this film are a moody woolly mammoth, a smooth-talking sloth, a sinister saber-toothed tiger, and an acorn-ob sessed saber-toothed squirrel. It's too early to tell whether moviegoers will think the latest 3D animated film is as cool as the other films in this new genre of feature animations, but Ice Age could be the quirkiest.
