The first part of the movie is a lot sadder when you realize Manny wasn’t migrating because he didn’t think life was worth living anymore

"Diego, spit that out, you don't know where it's been." "I don't eat junk food." Seriously, the deadpan humor in this movie was LEAGUES above its sequels.

23:30 somehow I never put that together. I knew the baby was basically filling a void for Manny, but it’s more subtle how Sid and Diego both also need that familial warmth the baby provides.

Never thought of it the way you did. But you’re right. Sid was abandoned, Manny is a male Widow, and Diego is an orphan taken in by a psycho

Fun fact: Scrat (the squirrel's name) is supposed to be a fictional species. But in 2011 we discovered an extinct species similar to Scrat called "cronopio".

I’m 29 years old and Sid still cracks me up. One of the best characters ever created

"Sid is adorable but no one really appreciated him" - Story of Sophie's life 😅

Fun fact: Diego was originally supposed to die at 25:16, but that didn’t sit well with the test audience, which was mostly children.

“Is he dead?” Scrat is immortal

Ahhh yes, the franchise that should have been named "The indestructible squirrel" lol. Good movies, excited for the next ones!

Lmao, I love all the Ice Age movies, when you said that Sid’s a little ADHD I can relate cause I suffer from the same thing just regular A.D.D. Not the hyperactivity part. I’d think you should do all of the Ice Age movies

Fun fact about Scrat the sabertooth squirrel: it was supposed to be completely made up. They just created something that potentially could've existed back during the ice age. Sure enough, come years later after the movies were made, it's discovered the sabertooth squirrel did in fact exist.

23:03 -- Actually... it *started* at the cave, when they saw the paintings of Manny's mammoth family history. But yeah, saving his life took it to the next level. You're conflicted-- because Diego is conflicted.

Sid is such a mood XD

20:16 Elephants have been said to be the most emotional animals on the planet. Only next to humans. They cry, show visible happiness, and even grieve and continually visit their dead. Even tho this is a children’s movie, Manny’s emotions in this scene wouldn’t have been far off from the truth since mammoth’s are so closely related to modern day elephants. Very heartbreaking knowing these creatures went through these tragedies and their descendants still go through them to this day.

I just realized Brother Bear came out the same year...interesting that they kind of have similar premises 😁

It's NOT that the one tiger is lazy, it's that he's the pack leader. He gives the orders, the others of the pack follow them.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, Sid is my spirit animal haha. It's great that you enjoyed this for the humor and emotional moments which holy shot you're right about the beginning with Diego being so dark. Also the squirrel really is the actual main character of these movies. And holy shit you're sponsored now!!! You're moving up in the world!!

Ice Age one is truly a gem. One of my favorite movies of all time. The second and third one are also really good, but the 4th is SUPER cringe in my opinion, since they just try too hard to make you cry, and the 5th one is just too forced, and it has like 13 main characters or something like that.

The Ice Age franchise is one of my favorites, and I would strongly suggest watching the rest!... although, let's forget about the 5th...

Manny lost his family Diego lost half of his pride and felt alone Sid had a family that hated him Al three of them had tragic experiences with family

I did love the ice age series it is hilarious and I love the whole scrat the squirrel story forever trying to get that acorn and causing destruction in his quest.

I like how the main characters are literally just the Shrek 2 trio.

5:55 I've seen clips of an African elephant lifting an entire bizon with a single tusk and i assume mamoths were a bit stronger then that since they averaged about a 50-100cm taller

Does anyone else notice how in the first Ice Age there is a future prediction in the ice cave? If not, I'll shed some light on it, it's the Frozen T-Rex, it is the possible inspiration for the 3rd movie and the alien ship is also for the latest one too but, since she hasn't seen it yet, I won't spoil how it is

I was six years old when this came out and it was one of the first movies I saw in theaters! It’s one of my favorite animated movies and my favorite Dreamworks movie ❤️

The Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is my favorite

I also want to say LOVE the Friends reference. Especially since a main actor from that show starred in an animated movie that you're about to react to very soon.

I love the first Ice Age movie and I love all three sequels. The fifth movie in my opinion was the straw that broke the camels back. Unfortunately after Spies in Disguise, Blue Sky studios shut their doors. Thanks Disney!

I do love Ice Age growing up. Just re-watched this movie recently and so far, I really just loved the first and second movie (Meltdown). Also Scrat is a guy.

I love this film. since childhood. Thanks from Russia.

that scene when manny memories how his wife and son had die be having me crying little bit man 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

the squirrel is such a mood 😂

I grew up with the first Ice Age, it's just so nostalgic now. I like 2, 3 and 4 as well. The only one I didn't enjoy personally was Ice Age 5 Collision Course, it just didn't do it for me.

The assassins creed reference had me cackling 😂😂

Q) "How is it, scrat, still alive by the way" A) S C R A T

Love the Ice Age trilogy The ice age took place after the extinction of the dinosaurs, Woolly Mammoth, Saber Tooth, Columbian Mammoth, Woolly Rhino, Dodo, Entelodon, Elasmotherium

I cant believe you never watched Ice Age, its just an iconic and classic movie franchise 😂 22:10 happy to see you using HTTYD references xD (at least I want to believe it was intended like that)

The second one is MY FAVORITE. Please continue this series

About the fight between the mammoth and the "Rhinos." Yes that is pretty similar to how the fight actually goes. Elephants and mammoths are ridiculously strong. Elephants are the physically biggest and strongest land animal that is still alive

This is a wonderful film! For me the best scene was where the Diego was protecting Manny from other tigers and even made a sacrifice! As always your reactions the best!

You know, with a lot of these early 3D animated movies, you really notice how empty and desolate the worlds seem at times. Likely due to limited budgets and technology. I mean I guess it would make sense for Ice Age, but the first Shrek movie is another example of this. Movies like theses really have come a long way.

No matter what age I’m gonna be I’ll always cry at Diego’s “goodbye” and when they give the baby back 😢 Edit : when did says don’t forget about us and manny says we won’t forget about you I BREAK DOWN

Does anyone else feel bad for scrat all the torture he went through just for an acorn

The editing is sending me 😭 ‘THERE HE IS’

Fun fact! The person who voiced that one Sabertooth that looks like a crack head, AKA Zeke, was Jack Black!

The first Ice Age was such a childhood classic, one that will always be special to a lot of 2000s kids. The second and third were good too, but after that they just went down hill. I feel like if they had just ended it after the third one things would have been much better...

I love the movies... though Ice Age 5 was a major let down. I'm super excited for you to check out the others, especially when you get to meet Buck and Captain Gutt (they're in separate movies)

Fun fact: *Diego wasnt suppost to live, but the creators found it was too sad to younger audiences so let him live*

this is one of the most underrated movie franchises of all time.

i wanted to say this for several days already, but thanks for your reactions!! i love it, your way to do them is interesting and funny sometimes!! wish you more feedback

I've just found your channel and I can't stop watching 😄, I LOVE your videos ❤️

FINALLY someone reacting to the Ice Age series! People never seem to include it in their animation movie reactions, so I applaud you for it. Well done Sophie 👍

That’s the reason why manny always walking around mad and depressed bc what happened to his previous family

I love Ice Age, can't wait for the second movie reaction

18:00 And both have a similar song, both called "On My Way" with upbeat tunes that are a travel montage.

12,900 years ago a comet broke into an unknown number of pieces. The main body hit the Earth (Hiawatha crater) but other smaller pieces left no crater because they slammed into a mile thick ice sheet or they exploded like the Chelyabinsk asteroid (2008) causing massive wildfires and/or earthquakes-which set off volcanoes. This event is called the "Younger Dryas" event. Among other things, it killed off 95% of the human race and the mammoths as well as the other megafauna-like the saber tooth tiger, giant sloth and wooly rhinoceros. The deep freeze following the Younger Dryas lasted 1,300 years and we're still recovering from that. The truly scary thing about this is that it could easily happen again and we are very much unprepared.

I just really really love this movie, it's a pleasure to see someone reacting to it! For me, it's a formative movie (it released when I was 10/11, so it ended up becoming one of my favourites) and I just love everything about it. Unlike the other movies, it's a drama/comedy, with more drama than comedy tbh, and it's gorgeous. The animation is gorgeous (imo, even tho it's dated now) and the characters are gorgeous and have development (minus Sid, who is a static character and has no real arc or growth in this movie OR the sequels) and I just wish more people would love/appreciate it more. It deserves more recognition! It was even nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar the year it released! So anyway it makes me so happy to see you enjoying this movie it's wonderful so wonderful in my opinion. :)

gosh this was my childhood movie when i was like a toddler and i remember loving diego sooo much

You are correct. Rule number 1 of the bro code is definitely no stealing babies 😂 Congrats on the surfshark sponsor 👍😊 - Sam

Ok this is late but did you know in the original cut Diego was supposed to die but due to a test audience of kids cried due to the fact Diego was their favorite out of the movie they decided to change it to him living

The first one is great Second one is okay Third is good if you like dinosaurs Fourth is good if you like pirates The fifth.... meh

Does anyone realise this movie is almost two DECADES old?

The Ice Age series is a lot like the megafauna of the real ice age. Had a great time at the start but then started dying out.

What a great movie.

This is a great series will be looking forward to your reactions

sid and manny meeting is really simmilar to donkey and shrek meeting, ngl.

All these movies I loved! They get better as they go lowkey :)

Although the sequels didn't do much for me, i prefer Ice Age to most of the Pixar movies just because it has a slightly more adult adge to both the story and the comedy. The shot where the mother is just gone after entrusting the baby to Manny still gives me chills. Also, the first teaser for Ice Age was simply a slightly altered version of the opening scene with Scrat the squirrel. I can't even remember which movie i was about to watch when i saw it. I just remember the whole cinema laughing their heads off. 😆

Also, the Many/Sid friendship in this film reminds me of the Shrek/Donky relation in film 1 😄

I've never noticed the similarities between Ice Age & Shrek characters before lol, i.e: * *Manny / Shrek* - very large - initially thought to be last of their kind - prefer being alone (at first) * *Sid / Donkey* - saved by the big guy & follows him around - comic relief - annoys the big guy * *Diego / Puss in Boots* - tough guy - initially an assassin on a mission - finds a family, etc

Sid is my favorite character

5:21- 5:28 Well Sid did step all over their salad with crap covered feet and fling the same animal crap in his face I think that justifies the amount of angry to want to murder Sid lol

These movies are just amazing, the third one is the best imo

This was THE movie when I was a kid. In my language Sid is voiced by our best comedian so he makes him funny af

Relaxing as always, you da best youtuber ever

Awesome reaction, i hope you'll do the next 2 movies too . They are a lot of fun

Finally some good fucking content

Thank you for reacting to one of my favourite childhood movies. Hope you can turn your hobby in to a profession in the near future. 👌

If you think about it, Soto wanted Diego to die, especially if the baby didn't make it, since he explicitly wants it alive because Diego is a threat to him as the leader of the pack. Hence why he didn't really try to convince Diego to not defend Manny when he stood up to him and just wanted to kill him first.

You should react to the other 4 movies, they’re also really enjoyable

Your comment at like 18:46 about still finding Sid funny amused me.. i’ve watched the movies more times than i can count, and i still love Sid haha

16:00 I don't laugh at a lot of things, especially out loud, but this, does put a smile on my face

I LOVE ICE AGE 1-5 I’ve grown with this franchise and it’s my entire childhood

Great reaction :) Hope you do the other four

waiting for the next part reaction, keep smiling.

13:55 how are our thoughts always same 😭 they reminded me of the MINE MINE MINE birds too 😭

I love Scrat, he's just great lol 😂

Yessss I love these movies 😭

Great a new reaction channel that's actually entertain time to bingewatch all your reactions to my favourite movies!

Scrat (the squirrel-rat thing, yes that's his cannon name) is practically imortal

It's funny, their problem is it's getting frezzing cold. Today our problem is it's getting freaky hot!

Fun fact manny had a son and wife ...they are the ones who die on that flashback scene ...he was the father not the baby mammoth ...when i learned this ive had trouble not becoming teary eyed when i hear that haunting scream that manny made when he was watching his family get stabbed and crushed to death...and afterwards he looks at the kid and realizes he doesnt want the humans to lose their baby too ...because he understands the pain the man lost his wife lets make sure he doesnt lose his kid too like manny

@Sophie Lents I love your videos! Your reactions are hilarious!

Ice Age unfortunately goes downhill as the movies progress, but dang I still love the two first movies

Never ever judge a movie again by it's age xD

Bro these movies get so fucking wild 😂 😂 😂

"WILL YOU STOP IT?!" i love that line ahaha

Scrat is a he. The funniest part was when Sid said "They lift without me. They do this every year. WHY?! Doesn't anyone love me? Isn't there anyone who cares about Sid the sloth?!" And "Oh. SSSSICK!" And how Sid repeated Diego " "Still green. They head North two hours ago." "
