Ice Age is a 2002 computer-animated movie made by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios. It was the first film in the Ice Age franchise, which would soon become Blue Sky's signature film series.In the Ice Age, a clumsy sloth named Sid, a grumpy woolly mammoth named Manny, a sneaky saber-toothed cat named Diego and an acorn-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel named Scrat are forced to become unlikely heroes. The first three reluctantly come together and brave the deadly elements of the impending big freeze. Scrat has his own parallel Story Arc. He tries to bury his beloved acorn, but he only manages to create mayhem around him.In the first Ice Age film, a migrating herd is traveling south—except Manfred (Ray Romano), a reclusive wooly mammoth traveling north. Meanwhile, a ground sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo) is left behind sleeping when the rest of his family and all the other prehistoric mammals begin the journey to the south and decides to follow him. When a human camp is attacked by a pack of vengeful sabers, a woman takes her baby and jumps in a river. Before she dies from her trauma, Manny and Sid rescue the baby. The two animals decide to search for the father and return the baby to him. Diego (Denis Leary), one of the saber-tooths that attacked the humans, comes also claiming the baby. Diego starts to work as a double agent, but along the journey he is befriended by Manny and Sid and finally joins them.Previews: Teaser, Trailer 1, Trailer 2 | |

"It" Is Dehumanizing: After Sid has tricked Carl and Frank into thinking Diego has killed him, but Diego won't release him, Manny appears and tells Diego to "Spit that [Sid] out. You don't know where it's been." Diego promptly does. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Ice Age / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The teaser trailer shows Manny saying to Scrat "You're an embarrassment to nature, you know that?". In the movie, he's actually talking to Sid. Also, it shows Scrat being crushed by a foot, implying it to be Manny's, when in the movie Manny doesn't know Scrat at that point. Early trailers, commercials, and ads for the first film depict Scrat as a member of the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, when in reality he doesn't actually travel or interact with the group, save for one brief moment in the middle of the film when they ask him for directions. | |

Bilingual Bonus: Anyone who's been in Tae Kwon Do would find the "multi-language" feature on the first film's DVD amusing, as the selected scene (the trio poop checking) ends with Manny shouting "ENOUGH!" in Korean. The word is Romanized as "ku mahn", and is a common phrase used in TKD class when the instructor wants you to finish an exercise. | |

Silence of Sadness: When Manny has a flashback of the time he lost his family to hunters, he, Sid, Diego, and Roshan are all silent during this scene. Once he gets over his wistfulness, this reaffirms Manny's determination to take Roshan back to his family, and Sid also appears to brighten after that. However, Diego looks back at the cave paintings that triggered this flashback with a dismal expression, having a Heel Realization. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
| Ice Age / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: The Dodos are in fact extinct, but they didn't die out during the Ice Age. They were wiped out by man very quickly after discovering the remote island of Mauritius where they used to live. Not mainly for food (they tasted awful), but simply as some sort of sport. They were in no way Too Dumb to Live as portrayed in the movie, but just evolutionary unfit for the challenge by naked monkeys who, after a long sea travel, would see clubbing fat flightless birds as appropriate entertainment. Combined with Science Marches On, the Macrauchenia are shown as possessing trunks. However, a study in 2018 concluded they most likely didn't have it, probably possessing moose-like noses instead. They are also far bigger than they were in real life, apparently being around the size of a giraffe than the one of a horse like they were. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Ice Age / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This film is much Darker and Edgier than the ones that would follow. It easily has the highest confirmed body count, with human beings slaughtering mammoths, saber-tooths slaughtering human beings, multiple characters with dead family members, parents trying and failing to protect their children, and somebody's mom practically dying on screen. It also attempts to be at least somewhat scientifically accurate by basing all the characters on real species, having them walk on all fours instead of having humanlike anatomy, and including human characters. After this film, no human characters have appeared or ever been referencednote Excluding the questionably canon Mammoth Christmas Special. | |

Manly Tears: All of the three main (animal) male characters cry at some parts of the movie. When Diego cries, it shows his heart beginning to soften and him starting to question his motives; Sid is in general very emotionally prone to outbursts such as crying, whilst Manny's tears give way to truly forgiving the humans for the wrong and loss they've caused him. | |

Grossout Fakeout | |
| Ice Age / int_6611496a | comment |
Grossout Fakeout: When Sid takes off baby Roshan's cloth diaper (thinking that he went to the bathroom), he holds it as if it was full of excrement. He waves it around like he's losing his balance, and then flings it into the air as if he tripped. The diaper unfolds and lands on Manny, only to be revealed that it's completely clean. | |

Meaningful Echo | |
| Ice Age / int_6bd689ca | comment |
Meaningful Echo: A very big one: "That's what you do in a herd." Manny says this to Diego after saving his life in the lava field. And it's one of the big things that contribute to Diego's Heel–Face Turn. In the final battle, Diego saves Manny's life when Soto goes for the kill, but is severely wounded instead. Manny tells Diego he didn't have to do it. Diego repeats what Manny told him the previous day, which at the time, seemed to be his Last Words. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Ice Age / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Sid and Scrat's names have no intended deeper meaning, most likely because they're the comic reliefs of the film. Manfred means "Man of Peace" and his character arc has him show he stands for justice and forgiveness and like a man of peace, he brokers reconciliation between himself and his human enemies. Diego is the Spanish form of the name Jacob, which means "Deceiver, or, He Deceives" and within the plot of the film Diego is a Double Agent, glibly lying to Manny and Sid and setting them up. However, like the original Jacob of the Bible, Diego gets redemption as well, though from an unlikely source: the baby — and Manny. Roshan, the name of the baby, is Hindi and means "Light" or "Light at Dawn" and he is the peace child who brings light into the midst of three lonely souls (Sid's family abandoned him, Diego's pack doesn't care about him, and Manny's family was taken away from him) and makes them a family. | |

Arc Words: Diego asks to Manny why he saved his life, when he almost die doing so. Manny responds: "That's what you do in a herd. You look out for each other". This line comes later in the climax, after his Heroic Sacrifice. "Where's the baby?" comes up numerous times over the course of the movie: when Soto interrogates Diego over losing Roshan over the waterfall, when Diego tries to make Roshan stop crying by playing peekaboo, when Manny finds Roshan missing and initially believes Diego took him, when Diego finds Sid in the tar pits, and finally by the end of the movie when Sid and Diego play peekaboo with Roshan one last time. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The Japanese version has a surprisingly melancholy theme song for a family comedy. It's called "Hitoshizuku" by ZONE, which translates to "A Single Drop of Tears". This could reflect the first movie's Darker and Edgier tone compared to the sequels. | |

Foreshadowing: When Sid tells Manny how his family abandoned him, he asks Manny about his family. Manny doesn't answer, and then tells Sid the following morning he should be loyal (in Sid's case, grateful) to a mate if and when he gets one. We find out what happened to his family in the cave drawings scene. Manny had a wife and child who were killed by humans, and he's still grieving for them, so he knows full well about being loyal to a mate. This is likely a reason why he denies his feelings for Ellie in the second film at first too. Each of the frozen beings Sid sees in the ice is connected to an installment in the franchise: a carnivorous fish, a dinosaur, a set of sloths, and a flying saucer. | |

The Dodos are in fact extinct, but they didn't die out during the Ice Age. They were wiped out by man very quickly after discovering the remote island of Mauritius where they used to live. Not mainly for food (they tasted awful), but simply as some sort of sport. They were in no way Too Dumb to Live as portrayed in the movie, but just evolutionary unfit for the challenge by naked monkeys who, after a long sea travel, would see clubbing fat flightless birds as appropriate entertainment. | |

Combined with Science Marches On, the Macrauchenia are shown as possessing trunks. However, a study in 2018 concluded they most likely didn't have it, probably possessing moose-like noses instead. They are also far bigger than they were in real life, apparently being around the size of a giraffe than the one of a horse like they were. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: Sid gets a moment of this when his plan to Pick Up Babes With Babes seems to be working, right up until Manny shows up and takes the baby back. | |

Playing Possum: Sid does this to get rid of Carl and Frank, making them think Diego has already killed him. It works, and the two are never seen again. | |

"Oh, Crap!" Smile: Scrat (possibly) sports on at the end when he realizes he accidentally caused a Volcano eruption, doubled with a nervous chuckle. | |

Old Faithful: At one point, Sid sits on a geyser as Manny and Diego count down to when the geyser erupts and sends Sid flying, with Manny commenting "Sure is faithful". | |

| Ice Age / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need a Distraction: The saber-toothed pack attacks the human camp so Diego can sneak in and kidnap Roshan. For the climax, Manny and Diego send Sid out with a snow-made version of Roshan pretending to make a run for it so Manny can ambush the pack in turn. | |

Threatening Mediator | |
| Ice Age / int_e802aecd | comment |
Threatening Mediator: One brief scene with the traveling "herd" is suggestive of a family on a long and boring car trip, with Sid and Roshan as the kids starting a fight in the backseat and Manny as the annoyed father with the classic retort of "I don't care who started it, I'll finish it!" | |

Aardvark Trunks | |
| Ice Age / int_f4c9c97a | comment |
Aardvark Trunks: There is a creature which is identified as an aardvark, but though it has the ears of an aardvark, it has the bushy tail of a giant anteater, and its snout is weirdly elongated to be reminiscent of an anteater (not an aardvark), but that animal would have a tiny mouth at the tip of its snout, whereas the cartoon critter has its mouth at the base. | |

Monster in the Ice: While crossing a network of tunnels through a glacier, the characters come across a variety of bizarre creatures frozen in the ice, including a series of sloth ancestors leading up to Sid's species, a giant fish, a carnivorous dinosaur caught mid-charge, and an alien flying saucer. | |

Stab the Salad | |
| Ice Age / int_f6c36157 | comment |
Stab the Salad: When Manny and Sid finally catch up with the humans, Manny rips the human leader's spear out of his hands when he tries to threaten him with it, then raises up his trunk as if to strike the guy, and the other humans certainly seem to interpret it as a threat. Turns out he was just lifting Roshan up off his back, at which point the human gets the message. | |

Road Apples: Inverted shortly in one scene. With Sid still guarding a human baby, Manny tells Sid that the baby is wearing some kind of diaper, hinting to him what happens next. There's also a scene where Sid steps in another animal's "leavings" and shouting at them to curb it next time. | |
