Manny the woolly mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and
the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat are still together and
enjoying the perks of their now melting world. Manny may be ready to start
a family, but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; Manny thinks
he may be the last one. That is, until he miraculously finds Ellie, the
only female mammoth left in the world. Their only problems: They can't
stand each other--and Ellie somehow thinks she's a possum! Ellie comes with
some excess baggage in the form of her two possum "brothers"-- Crash and
Eddie, a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky, loud-mouthed
troublemakers. Manny, Sid and Diego quickly learn that the warming climate
has one major drawback: A huge glacial dam holding off oceans of water is
about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only chance of survival
lies at the other end of the valley. So our three heroes, along with Ellie,
Crash and Eddie, form the most unlikely family--in any "Age"-- as they
embark on a mission across an ever-changing, increasingly dangerous
landscape towards their salvation.
Our prehistoric foursome are back. Manny, the sarcastic but warmhearted
mammoth, finds a mate and is now learning the science of being tactful.
Sid, the inept sloth, is trying to establish his long overdue respect from
others. Diego, the once shady travel companion now turned loyal carnivore
of the "herd", must confront a fear that he's always kept secret. And Scrat
the squirrel is still accidently causing shifts in the landscape. But these
four have a bigger problem coming when a flood is about to change their
history.
While Skrat the Saber Toothed Squirrel is still ineffectually trying to
regain his precious acorn, the misfit trio of Manny the Mammoth, Sid the
Sloth and Diego the Sabretooth Tiger have settled down in an isolated
valley with numerous other animals. However, the trio discover that the ice
wall surrounding the valley is barely holding back a massive body of water
behind it and it's melting state threatens to break and flood the valley.
With their one chance of survival being a boat at the other end of the
valley, the trio follow the desperate exodus there. Along the way, they
meet Ellie, a female mammoth who is convinced she's a opossum like her
brothers. While the strange group continues the trek, they must learn to
get along even as Manny struggles to find some connection to this strange
female who may be the only other one of his kind.
When the valley where they live is threatened by the melt of the
surrounding ice, the mammoth Manny, the sloth Sid and the saber-toothed
tiger Diego advise the other animals to look for shelter outside the place.
While escaping, the trio meets Ellie, a female mammoth that believes she is
an opossum like her two mischievous brothers. Meanwhile, the squirrel Scrat
tries to retrieve his walnut in the most unusual situations.
Manny, Sid, and Diego are currently living in a large valley surrounded by
an enormously high ice wall on all sides. When a water park begins to form,
the trio discovers that the ice wall is actually a wall that is barely
holding a massive body of water that could flood the valley to nearly a
mile underwater. A vulture tells them that there is a boat at the other end
of the valley that may save them all, but they only have 3 days to make it
or die. Manny is having trouble facing the fact that he may be the last
mammoth left. Along the way, they meet Ellie, a mammoth who thinks she is a
possum, and her possum brothers Crash and Eddie. As they begin to travel
together, Manny learns, with help from Diego and Sid, that having this new
mammoth with them, may not be as bad as Manny makes it out to be while they
try to escape the oncoming and continually threatening flood. During their
journey, Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel has his own hilarious adventures
that eventually leads to something else entirely.
