Trivia
With a worldwide gross of over $880 million, this is Blue Sky Studios' and the Ice Age franchise's highest-grossing film.

Goofs
While Crash, Eddie and Buck were on their way to save Sid, Buck says "roger" but Crash and Eddie couldn't understand the correct meaning. However, in Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) Crash and Eddie used the term "roger" with correct meaning while they were checking the perimeter for Ellie.

Quotes
Manny: Buck, when exactly did you lose your mind?
Buck: [thinks a moment] Three months ago. I woke up a morning married to a pineapple... An "ugly" pineapple.
[sighs lovingly]
Buck: But I loved her...

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Fox logo is surrounded by snow-covered pine trees, and the searchlights are miniature smoldering volcanoes.

Alternate versions
In the original cinema release, the 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning was surrounded by snow-covered pine trees, and the searchlights were replaced by small, smouldering volcanoes. However, on the DVD and Blu-ray releases it was changed to the normal version of the logo, although the 3D Blu-ray retains the version seen in cinemas.

Obviously the Superior Ice Age

If you ask someone what their favorite Ice Age film is, and they DONT say this one, they are obviously wrong. This movie is funny, has heart, and it's the most entertaining out of the series. After this one, they all go downhill. This movie is the Ice Age franchise peak. Diego's depression is a very emotional part, and Sid feeling like he has no family, no one to love him, until he finds the eggs. Sid is mainly played for laughs, but this movie gives him real character development. Even though this movie has heart, it still has its very funny moments. Also, the character buck is the best character to ever exist in this franchise, and maybe ever.
