Set during the Ice Age, a sabertooth tiger (Diego), a sloth (Sid), and a wooly mammoth (Manny) find a lost human infant, and they try to return him to his tribe. For anyone who's seen these movies or at least one they know that the main reason for them being hilarious is Sid the sloth, probably my favourite animated character, he's lovable and ridiculous and a complete mess but he really does care for his friends making a pretty good role model for kids. Can an animated Sloth be a role model? I don't know but if the answers yes then it'd be Sid. Ice age is so well written and developed it'll make you laugh for the entirety of it.
Ice age 2 sees the world slowly melting and the only thing stopping the valley from being destroyed is the glaciers which have formed a dam, which will soon break and flood everything. A lone vulture warns the animals about a boat that can save them if they make it to the end of the valley within three days time, and all soon set out to find it. Along the journey Manny, Diego and Sid meet Ellie, a female mammoth who believes she is an opossum, with the encouragement of Diego and Sid Manny tries to woo Ellie but first he must convince her that she's a mammoth.
I actually like this one a little bit more than the first one probably due to the introduction of Ellie and her brothers Crash and Eddie, which provides a lot of laughs. Also in this one Sid is captured by a tribe of mini sloths which is a very funny scene.
Ice Age 3 has Sid being taken by a female Tyrannosaurus after he steals her eggs, leading Manny, Diego, a pregnant Ellie and Crash and Eddie to rescue him in a tropical lost world inhabited by dinosaurs beneath the ice.
I really liked the idea of this one but the story just didn't deliver, I think it was because for most of the film Sid is separated from everyone else, so he doesn't have as many of his famous one-liners. Probably my least favourite in the series.
