Yet, in spite of the odd make-up of their herd, these critters manage to avoid the distinction of extinction by working together. As well, the screenplay makes brief use of bathroom humor and mild exclamations. Scat, the saber-tooth squirrel, gets more screen time, but his success rate for securing acorns isn’t on the rise, despite the increased amounts of personal injury he suffers.Įven though the innuendo may go over the heads of the youngest audience members, the script contains some sexual overtones when Manny and Ellie argue over his indelicate approach to wooing her. When Sid opens a day camp for kids, he finds himself on the painful end of a pinata stick. Like the original Ice Age, this film is flush with slapstick violence played for comedy. While these opposing attitudes don’t lend themselves to immediate sparks between the hairy creatures, Sid persuades Ellie and her brothers to migrate with them, hoping the friendly female will eventually melt Manny’s frosty heart. Identity issues aside, however, the biggest disparity between Ellie and Manny is her fun-loving spirit and his stick-in-the-mud seriousness. And among other things, she’s oblivious to the obvious size discrepancy between her and her brothers, Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck). Adopted by possums, the orphaned Ellie has adapted to climbing trees and sleeping upside down. The megaton mammoth has some quirky behaviors of her own. Still, when Manny finally meets Ellie (voiced by Queen Latifah), he’s not so sure his problems are over.
