3. Diego And Shira
Diego and Shira are the ultimate sabretooth tiger power couple, even though Diego looks a bit uncertain in this pose.
She was introduced in the fourth film of the series: Continental Drift. This movie would also see Sid presented with a love interest of his own.
4. Diego Runs Through The Snow
Diego was one of the original members of the Ice Age herd, and he’s known as the coolest member of the group. While he seems sarcastic and brash at times, he does genuinely care for his friends.
An early draft of the first film saw him die near the end, but negative test screenings and the advice of his voice actor, Dennis Leary, convinced the filmmakers to keep him alive instead.

Ellie was introduced as a love interest for Manny in Meltdown, the second film of the series. She is voiced by Queen Latifa in all of the films, and Peaches, her daughter, was voiced by Keke Palmer.
8. The Original Ice Age Herd
This scene shows the original trio from the first film: Sid the sloth, Manny the wooly mammoth and Diego the saber tooth tiger.
Originally, the film was going to have traditional 2D animation and a more serious tone, but it was decided to use computer animation and add more humor.
9. Scrat With An Acorn
Scrat is one of the most iconic characters in Ice Age, and he doesn’t even say a word!
Throughout the films, he goes to increasingly desperate lengths to find his beloved acorn to disastrous results.
He was only intended to be in the opening scene of the film so that there would be a snow scene earlier in the movie, but he was so popular with test audiences that they decided to include him more.

14. Manny The Wooly Mammoth
Manny the wooly mammoth is the leader of the herd and a character that everyone looks up to. The filmmakers wanted someone with a strong voice and considered actors like James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader and Mufasa.
They eventually decided on comedian Ray Romano whose voice had the sarcastic tone they wanted for the character.
15. Scrat Buried In The Snow
16. Scrat With His Acorn On An Ice Cliff

Throughout the movies, Scrat’s mission is to safely eat his acorn, but he never gets to achieve that goal.
That was until a video posted by Blue Sky Studios, the studio responsible for the first five films, showed him finally getting to eat his acorn.
The short scene was made as a farewell to the character after the studio shut down.
18. Scrat Hanging From A Branch
Poor Scrat finds himself in some perilous situations in his quest to find his acorn. He is a combination of different types of extinct mammals and is described as a saber-toothed squirrel.
His name was the idea of the daughter of one of the writers of the film who combined the words ‘squirrel’ and ‘rat’ to make his name.

The first Ice Age film was a huge success. It made around $380 million worldwide and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature!
22. Sid The Sloth Looking Surprised
On the surface, Sid is a bit of a pathetic character, but he has revealed that there is more to him than meets the eye.
Earlier versions of the script had Sid as a bit more of a devious trickster, but the filmmakers worried he would be too unlikable, so they made him more dim-witted and good-hearted,
23. Sid The Sloth Slips On Ice
Sid is known to be a very clumsy character, so putting him on some ice is never a very good idea!
24. Sid Smiles And Waves
Even though he messes up a lot, Sid the Sloth is a good guy at heart and friendly to most characters he meets.
His voice actor, John Leguizamo, tried out around 40 voices for the character before settling on the lispy voice he is known for. He chose this voice because he found out that sloths keep food in their cheeks.

Manny, Sid and Diego refer to themselves as a herd, and even Scrat has been allowed to join it!
