Lori ForteIce Age: Collision Course / Producer

Blue Sky Studios Ice Age is a 2002 American computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Ice Age: Collision Course has some mild sexual references. For example, there's a reference to online dating when a female character tells a male that he 'looks nothing like (his) profile picture'. In this scene, the male character intends to propose, but the female suggests they break up.

The most powerful theme in the movie is that of friendship. In the start, none of the characters are particularly fond of one another. Everyone has heard of the impending Ice Age, and so is moving out of town, so to speak, to avoid the icy weather.

Climax: Diego saves Manny. Climactic Moment: Sid and Manny return the baby to its father. Resolution: Diego recovers and they all migrate together.

Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) continued to draw in family audiences, but the final theatrical entry, Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) was the lowest-grossing in the franchise. It was also the final Ice Age movie produced by Blue Sky Studios, which was owned by 20th Century Fox.

Blue Sky Studios in a Nutshell It was known for creating computer-animated kids' movies such as Rio, Robots, Ferdinand, Epic, the entire Ice Age franchise, and more. It was one of the visual effects companies responsible for the kids' computer-animated movie Tron that brought the studio to life.

Ice Age (franchise)

Blue Sky Studios released popular films like Ice Age, Horton Hears a Who, and Robots. They seemed like one of the biggest names in animation. Yet the studio became victim to both a major corporate acquisition and cost-cutting efforts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 10, 2021, the studio officially closed.

Parents of younger viewers should be cautioned that the film does contain scary moments. Under 7s may find the conflict between characters a little too intense and some of the film's themes rather disturbing - animals that seek revenge via eating a baby; death of family members.

Violence & Gore (9) Frozen hands of dead bodies, blood spatters and guts are seen inside the ice cream truck in various parts of the movie. The ice cream man kills the pet dog of his neighbor. The dog's carcass is then shown going through a meat grinder.

ice age, also called glacial age, any geologic period during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Such periods of large-scale glaciation may last several million years and drastically reshape surface features of entire continents. A number of major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth history.

In ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN, the multi-species family -- fretful woolly mammoth Manny (Ray Romano), aggressive sabertooth tiger Diego (Denis Leary), and friendly, lispy sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) -- are on the move due to global warming.

The climax is the high point of the movie where the protagonist, based on the knowledge gained from the rising action, determines what the final action needs to be taken in order to resolve the conflict. The falling action ties up or resolves any minor loose story ends. The denouement is the ending of the movie.

In Ice Age, the First Plot Point happens when Manny and Sid rescue the human baby and meet Diego. This launches their main story goal (return the baby to his father) and the main conflict with the saber-tooth tigers.
