Ice Age is a feature-length
computer-animated film released by
20th Century Fox in
2002. It is directed by Carlos Saldanha and Chris Wedge and features prominent voice actors
Ray Romano,
John Leguizamo,
Denis Leary and others.
The film tells the story of a group of
prehistoric animals (Sid, a
sloth; Manfred, a
mammoth, and Diego, a
smilodon) who co-operate in the quest of returning a left-behind human
baby to its tribe after its mother has been killed in an attack on their camp and the rest have fled. Diego initially follows the others in the hope of being able to eat the baby, but is eventually persuaded to help them save the child instead.
There is also a subplot involving Scrat, a sabre-toothed prehistoric
squirrel who defends his beloved
acorn with paranoid fervor.
The soundtrack features songs such as
Send Me on My Way by
Rusted Root.
The Japanese release's theme song is
Hitoshizuku by
ZONE.
