Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)
Director: Steve Martino, Michael Thurmeier
Synopsis
Blue Sky Studios’s series of family-friendly cartoons about the adventures of three prehistoric chums – Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the sabretooth tiger – plus assorted hangers-on and family members, gears up for a fourth instalment. The series may not be quite scientifically accurate – part three had them encountering a lost valley of the dinosaurs – but it is certainly popular: ‘Dawn of the Dinosuars is currently the fourth highest grossing animated film of all time, making this follow-up wholly inevitable. This time, they’re setting out to sea, as the continents begin to shift and our heroes are set adrift on a floating iceberg, where they encounter pirates, sea monsters and discover a new country.
