Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Article Title

This entry should be Ice Age (movie). If you doubt this, look at "What links here." A linked reference to "Ice Age" in text normally links to the Ice Age, not an animated feature. Wetman 20:08, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Then those links should be fixed, not the title of this article. There is no reason for this page to have a disambiguation when it is not necessary. Article titles are case-sensitive (except for the first letter), so we might as well make use of it. — Timwi 13:33, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

What doesn't make sense is to have the primary title not related to the main event, but a B movie about it. It needs to be moved back to Ice Age (film)or Ice Age (movie). I'll change it if no one else does. Pollinator 15:33, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Scrat Inside the Plot

Scrat should be written on the plot because he appears couple of times in the movie and please write him in the plot he's written in the Ice Age: The Meltdown page plot and if Scrat is written in the plot please don't delete it.

---

Please keep this article at Ice Age. There no good reason for

1. adding an unnessary disambiguation parenthesis to the title
2. redirecting users to a place they probably didn't want to go to
3. encouraging wrong linking

Thanks. — Timwi 02:29, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This belongs at Ice Age (movie) to avoid confusion with the real event. I proposed the change, waited some time, and no one objected. I am going to move it back within the next few days. It seems to be a case of confusion of entertainment with reality. Pollinator 02:35, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

(William M. Connolley 08:29, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)) Argh! What is going on. I assert (on the grounds that reality gets precedence over fiction) that:

• Ice Age (movie) describes the movie
• Ice age is the glaciological/climatological phenomenom
• Ice Age redirects to Ice age

Thank you for this sensible move. Wetman 08:37, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

AMEN! Pollinator 12:01, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

and I've changed it so that is so.

(ps: thanks - I think - to Wetman for fixing my fix properly...)

If you are looking for an article about the ice age, "Ice Age" is not "spelled" right - it's "Ice age". Agree? (WMC: yes) Then there is only one article with the title "Ice Age" - the one about the movie.

If you really consider these ambiguous, I think the disambiguation is wrong. "Ice Age" should NOT redirect to "Ice age". It should either redirect to "Ice Age (movie)", or link to both.

(William M. Connolley 09:09, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)) Yes, thats poss - Ice Age could well be a disambig page instead of redir to Ice age.

Personally, I agree with Timwi: "Ice Age" should contain the article about the movie. You could make "See also"-links to solve the actual problem. I just made such a link from Junit to JUnit, as I think many people make that spelling error.

(William M. Connolley 09:09, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)) I strongly disagree: Ice Age can't be the movie page. What next? "Jesus of Nazareth" becomes a link to the movie, with a little note on it saying "oh and by the way..."? But I agree Ice Age could be disambig.

Myplacedk 08:48, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)

The Ice Age in adult discussion is the most recent glaciation, the Wisconsinian or whatever, one of the sequences of ice ages that characterize the Pleistocene. Ice Age (in italics) is an animated film geared for pre-teens. Have some perspective! Wetman 09:16, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

If the article about glaciation was titled "Ice Age", this discussion would not exist. But it's not, so it does. Are you suggesting renaming the glaciatin article? In that case, it would be very simple: The glaciation article would contain a disambiguation link to "Ice Age (movie)" (or similar). Myplacedk 09:27, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)

[edit] The Jungle Book

I've changed the reference to Kipling's Jungle Book to Disney's Jungle Book. In Kipling's book the emphasis was NOT on returning the human child to his parents. Lee M 14:54, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexuality???

I dont remember these references, where in the film was this? Raemie 17:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

There was some minor refrences in the movie, like the brontotheres (the rhinos, long horns Brontotherium, butterfly-shaped horns, Embolotherium) where eating with eachother and Sid ruined it all by stepping into their "salad" with a foot covered in Glyptodon poop. The two brontotheres appear to hang out with each other a lot, but I don't think that they have a crush on eachother, just pals. GBA 05:13, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

For crying out loud, did it occur to anyone that those bozos were probably brothers? And I ought to know. I've got two brothers myself! Ben 10 11:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I dont think anyone has anything against the movie about evolution or homosexuality. Its all just a big joke in the movie. I've never heard anyone having a beef against it for that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.36.89.104 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know who you are. From now on, try to add four ~s at the end of your comment GBA 04:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Here is a quote from the movie: Sid:Acctually, this baby belongs to us. Diego: Us? You two are a bit of and odd couple." Even though Manny objected to the whole "us" thing, they were definetly prodding at that.

[edit] Requirements

This article will need the film poster like most film articles.

[edit] Sid

Sid is too small and weak to be a Megatherium, thus dictating that he is of a subspecies which is about the size of a pig.

There were other ground sloths smaller than Megatherium in North America, like Glossotherium, for example. The movie don't says that Sid is a Megatherium any time.

I don't think Sid is a Megatherium at all, he either has to be a three-toed sloth or a smaller relative like Nothrotheriops. GBA 05:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think he's not a modern sloth, thank you. He must be a small species of ground sloth.61.230.78.58 12:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I have it! He is a Hapalops! He is about three or four feet tall and he sleeps in a tree so he must be!KnowledgeLord 21:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging the Manny Article

Just to say I've really expanded the article on manny, so it's no longer a stub and (hopefully) no longer needs to be merged with the main ice age (film) article. --Sidthesloth 15:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

just say no

[edit] Inaccuracies

How is calling the saber tooths 'tiger's an inaccuracy? It may be improper in many places, but this is an American film and the name saber tooth cat is never heard here. BioTube 22:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

'Cause Smilodons are not tigers. There's no such thing as a saber-tooth tiger. Dora Nichov 09:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm telling you the way it works here where the film was made. So what if they aren't technically tigers? Saber-toothed cat just isn't used here. Why don't we start saying aluminium and labour are incorrect? BioTube 21:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I suppose it's all right if you call them saber-tooth tigers, but not just TIGERS. That's completely different. Dora Nichov 09:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Given the setting, what else would they be talking about? BioTube 19:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean? Dora Nichov 07:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The film doesn't say that humans are incapible of speech, I think Deigo's quote was due to the animals not understanding human speech.(AndrewAnorak 10:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC))

Huh? Dora Nichov 01:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some Minor Character Names

• Hi! I just want to let you know that I know the names of some characters who's names weren't mentioned but were said in books.

Roshan (the baby)

Runar (Roshan's father)

Nadia (Roshan's mother)

Rachel (the orange sloth that Sid and Roshan mud bathed with)

Mmm, don't forget Eddie, the glypodont.

Don't you recall?

"So where's Eddie?"

"Oh, he said something about being on the verge of an evoultionary breakthrough"
