*THE BEST TRIO!!* Ice Age (2002) | First Time Watching | reaction/review

This franchise is literally my childhood. After Blue Sky Studios shut down, someone made a video of Scrat finally eating his acorn and that made me wanna cry.

The irony that sloths are the ones that have survived to today out of the three is so wild lol

[@Scapemaster00]

Not this kind of sloth though. Saying sloths are the only ones is like saying that tigers/big cats or elephants aren't still around.

[@amiy02]

​@@Scapemaster00 came to say the same thing

[@ZukoHalliwell]

I used to think that too. The ironic part being that Sid's an idiot, right? But, as the other replies said, Sid is a ground sloth, which are different from modern sloths.

[@sarahrosencrans2402]

"She mustve been weak" exactly, she gave everything she had left to save her child and get him to shore. So many people miss that the first time and think she just swam off

[@eisen161]

Plus there's no chance she didn't break both her legs from that height, if not more. It's hard to swim after that.

[@sassylittleprophet]

What?? How do people think that? I saw this movie when I was a kid and knew the implication was that she had died.

[@MicukoFelton]

Swam off? Who would think that, I always thought it's obvious she passed away and was dragged by the stream.

[@sarahrosencrans2402]

​@MicukoFelton youd be surprised.

[@AlessaParker]

​@@MicukoFelton what I've learned from following many reaction channels for film and anime is that many people tend to misunderstand even the most obvious things it's pretty astonishing (and honestly a bit sad)

[@jessfleury3761]

Fun/Sad facts that was pointed out to me: - Manny going against the migration and the tigers commenting on how Mammoths never travel alone is very telling that he lost his herd. - Manny was most likely was going back to the cold to die. Manny may have saved Sid, and the baby, but Sid saved him too. - the type of sloth that Sid was in real life was so massive it would have been bigger than Diego. - Diego was supposed to die from his injuries after fight but they changed the ending after they made the scene - Scrat is never named in the movie. It was the creators in trailers that name him - the humans never speak. The most you get are noises and babbles

[@robinmatz6686]

Ground sloths were very diverse and came in many different sizes, they werent only giant. Fun fact: the 2 sloth genera we have today (two toed and three toed) are not actually closely related, they are both only the tree living relatives of now-extinct ground sloths. So their last common ancestors wasnt a small mammal in the trees, but both lineages stem from independent large ground dwellers.

[@XxTW0F4C3DxX]

You ever wonder why Sid finds Manny at the top of a cliff at the beginning of the movie? 👀 Manny was going to jump before Sid stumbled upon him during his chase.

I love that you point out the connection so many people don’t make between Manny losing his mate and child to humans, and him becoming invested in making sure the same tragedy doesn’t happen to the father of the child. The father watched on unable to help as the mother and baby were being hunted by another Saber. It’s a direct parallel to Manny’s story in the cave. Manny was walking into the ice alone in the beginning. He was not planning to make it. However, when he came across the mother and child, he couldn’t not do something to stop the same events from happening again. Not this time, not when he could help. Through the whole journey, I think he also found healing. Unlike the Sabers who wanted revenge on the humans for wiping out their pack, Manny found a neutral forgiveness perhaps. He didn’t fight fire with fire, but extinguished it so no one else would get burned. It’s offers a lesson on the cycle of trauma and violence. This movie is pretty deep for a kids movie lol.

[@llambdha5232]

All my life i thought Manny was the surviving young mammoth. That he witnessed his parents being killed and when he touches the painting (like a photograph of himself from better days) and the baby's hands gets in the way, he just projects himself onto the child. To me he wanted to return teh chld so it's never as lonely as he was

[@KyleEvra-15]

I thought that too he was the young one. I can see why we get confused because it never tells us who's who?

[@mistybloo52]

My favorite bit of the behind the scenes, Denis Leary was told how Diego was going to be killed off at the end of the movie. Being a somewhat recent father, he knew how kids would react to such an ending, and he warned the directors that it would sour the film for the target audience. Sure enough, during test screenings of the movie, kids were crying, and they decided to add that at the end, him limping back to the group just fine.

[@silver9wolf6]

Dang, I'm so glad they went this direction and kept Diego alive!

[@KyleEvra-15]

So happy Diego lived he's my favorite character.

[@sarahg6932]

Fun fact I don't see anyone else mention yet: the creators designed Scrat, the sabre-toothed squirrel just for this movie, not based on any ice-age animal, just imagining the kind of thing that could have lived back then. Then, In 2011, a new fossil that looks just him was discovered! Its called Cronopio dentiacutus (although it didn't live in the ice age and wasn't a squirrel).

[@warrenstamp3798]

It did live in the ice age

I always get a laugh from seeing the baby do a Vulcan salute when looking at the UFO.

[@BarnabasTheBarmy]

Wow... thanks for pointing it out!

[@gamergirlexoh]

The first 3 movies of Ice Age are my personal favourites.

[@Cottonmouth255]

Implying that there were ever more than 3. 😉

[@jammington24]

32:13 if you pause here, you can see that Soto attacked Diego's left side, and he was lying down on THAT side when talking to Manny and Sid. If it wasn't a kid's movie, this would most likely mean that Diego received a BIG deadly scratch that would have made him bleed out, and that's what lead all of us think that he wouldn't make it out of that.

[@merryn96]

A great reaction as always ♥️ one of the things I liked the most is that you immediately understood Manny's past displayed on the cave wall was about him losing his wife and kid. You would not believe how many people think it's depicting him losing his parents. I love how much empathy you have for everyone, even fictional characters!

[@thecocoacouch]

Really appreciate that!!! Thanks for the donation too ☺️

[@art111g]

I’m sorry but I have never heard anyone assume that it was about him losing his parents. You clearly see that the adult male is reacting to the adult female and juvenile getting hunted off camera. Who have you been talking to?? I’m questioning everything.

[@kurikuri6683]

This movie is so amazing, especially two things I like the most: First: Manny is such an incredible character: humans killed his wife and his child and he still brings a human child back to the father, just fantastic! And second: when the father gives the necklace of his wife to Manny. He gives the only thing that reminds him of his wife to the one who has brought him the most important. I don't know, but even as a kid I always found these two facts magical and just wonderful! But one thing makes me really sad, everytime I'm thinking about it (little SPOILER for the next movies): Manny won't wear the necklace in the other movies. If he would, that would make my second favourite scene much more heartwarming!!

[@CypherTheWolf7]

When Sid is trying to get comfortable for sleeping, he’s like a dog going in circles before they lay down 🤣

It’s so sad that Blue Sky studios is over. They made really great movies growing up. Doesn’t Ice Age remind you of Shrek ? Manny and Sid are like Shrek and Donkey. Diego is like Puss since they’re both cats. What a time to be the only child.

[@MarimbaBuddy]

Interestingly, I just read that another studio will apparently make another Ice Age movie in a couple of years. I guess we'll have to see where that goes.

[@nathanielreik6617]

@@MarimbaBuddy Disney. 20th Century was the parent company for Blue Sky so when Disney bought 20th Century they got the rights to Ice Age. Actually a few years ago they made an Ice Age movie but it went straight to Disney+ and was not well received. They only got one of the original cast back for it. But Ice Age 6 is confirmed to have gotten the cast back so there is hope.

[@inkycaptain7634]

I use to have this movie in VHS and watched it a lot when I was a child, but this was the first time that I understood the connection between Manny and the Human dad, honestly it makes a lot of sense but it went over my head when I was little, thanks for letting me experience this movie through your eyes man! love your content!

FUN FACT ☝🤓 21:34 in these scene, there is a quadruple foreshadow to 4 ice age sequels. the fish is ice age 2 the t-rex is ice age 3 the sloth evolution thingy is ice age 4 & the UFO is ice age 5 (i wonder what foreshadow they'll do for ice age 7 in ice age 6)

[@Biaso1997]

Haven’t done it for a while, but used to always put it on in the background for doing a spring clean 😊 20:47 One of my favourite quotes- my family uses this every now and again in life 😅 Loved your reaction to this film, always amazes me at how good you are at understanding people (or in this case animals) and their emotions, something I’ve always struggled with. Also loved how you kept referring to the sabre pack as a herd. Made me smile every time ❤

Fun fact about Scrat (the saber tooth squirrel), fossils and bones HAVE been discovered of an animal similar to Scrat. HOWEVER, the movie came first! Scrat was made as a joke, the running gag of the franchise. But turns out, his kind ACTUALLY existed!

[@WorldWeave]

12:13 one of my favorite jokes in the entire movie, if not franchise

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

I haven't seen this movie in years. As a kid, it never really struck me how sad it is that all these characters are basically alone until they find each other. Manny's family died, Sid's family abandoned him, and Diego's family basically tells him to bring back dinner or don't bother coming home.

[@hufflepuffler2575]

I think it's heavily implied she was either hurt or just extremely tired from holding herself and her child up out of the water for so long and after she knew her baby was going to be safe she finally just let herself go and most likely got swept into the currents.

[@folkcallmelore]

This is one of my all time favourite movies. I cry every time I watch it and has a lot of depth you don't fully understand as a kid but unravels more and more throughout the years when you watch it again. I teach English as a foreign language and I have shows this to all of my students for one of our movie days. They always love it and I usually have a classroom filled with crying students at the end of the movie which means a lot knowing that it can resonate with them so intensely despite the language barrier.
