Sid (Ice Age)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sid is a fictional ground sloth from the movie Ice Age and its sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown.
Sid is the talkative type, but suffers from a lateral lisp, which makes his "S's" and "C's" rather "wet" or "spitty."

[edit] The first film
When we first meet Sid, he has been abandoned by his family (who, he explains got up early to leave him behind), who have left him behind for their migration south. That very morning, he heads off to leave with the migrating crowds alone, but is waylaid when he steps in glyptodont dung. With this, he angers a pair of brontotheres which try to kill him. As he tries to escape them, he meets Manny the mammoth and sticks with him, much to Manny's annoyance. He ultimately befriends Manny the wooly mammoth and Diego the Smilodon. Ultimately they accept him as a member of their "herd."
[edit] The second film
In the second film, Sid is trying to find respect among other creatures, but due to his goofy persona, fails there. Sid and Diego seem to be the only ones who realize Manny's feelings towards Ellie, a female wooly mammoth, and Sid is the only one who notices that Diego is afraid of water. Sid is eventually taken away by a group of "mini-sloths" who claim him as their leader. He makes it back to his "herd" telling them this, but they don't believe him, until the moment that Diego the saber-toothed cat sees the mini-sloths, and tell them that Sid must remain with his herd.
[edit] Voiced
Sid is voiced by actor John Leguizamo in both films.
