Manny, Diego and Sid are forced into the sea after the giant earthquake separates them from their families. They are left with nothing but the iceberg they are standing on, so they use the iceberg as a ship.

Manny is eager to see Ellie and their daughter Peaches again, but before the possibility of being reunited they stumble across a group of pirates and are captured. This is where another action-packed adventure begins.

My personal favourite character is Granny (voiced by comedienne Wanda Sykes). She is one of the new characters and she got the most laughs from the audience. Granny is left with Sid after Sid's family ditched him again.

I found the movie to be full of fun and adventure, and with a whole shipload of new characters, it added another dimension to the previous Ice Age movies. I highly recommend this movie to everyone and this is a movie families will enjoy watching together because it has a big family focus.

If you're an Ice Age fan you won't be disappointed, and if you are new to the Ice Age movies, this movie will make you want to see the previous Ice Age films.
