They are joined by Diego (Denis Leary), a sinister saber-toothed tiger who befriends Sid and Manny, all the while seeing the infant as a tasty treat. But that's only the beginning of his frustrations: Manny has been roped by Sid into helping reunite an abandoned human baby named Roshan (Goran Visnjic) with his family. When Sid "adopts" Manfred (Ray Romano) as his protector, the mammoth tries everything he can to unload his newfound baggage. The exceptions are a woolly mammoth named Manfred, and a terminally lazy sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo). To avoid a really bad frostbite, the planet's majestic creatures - and a few small, slothful ones - begin migrating south. The Earth is a wondrous, prehistoric world filled with danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. Okay, it gives no real hint at whether the movie will be any good, but the trailer is really enjoyable, and the final, very short scene with Sid, Manny and Diego, is comedy gold.It is twenty-thousand years ago. It's one of those trailers that I would happily watch again and again. Of course, all the footage comes from a pre-existing short, which was very well received, but they've condensed it well none of the humor or content is lost. Occasionally, however, a trailer comes along which stands alone as its own story.

Other times they tease us in order to entice us into going to the movies to watch the whole thing. Sometimes trailers give us a great look at the film overall, and a strong hint of what's to come. The cosmic chain of events which Scrat unwittingly sets into motion in this trailer goes on to form the basis of the plot for the movie their home destroyed, Sid, Manny and Diego must journey to a new home and in doing so, meet new characters along the way. Part of what makes Ice Age movies so great is his continued quest, so Blue Sky did well to focus this Ice Age: Collision Course trailer solely on him. Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel might have been chasing his perfect acorn for the last fourteen years but that doesn't mean we're bored of watching his relentless pursuit. Ice Age: Collision Course has had its release date changed from July 15, 2016, to July 22nd, 2016 to avoid collision the new Ghostbusters movie arrives on July 15 and 20th Century Fox didn't want to compete.

This trailer is a condensed version of the Scrat short that played in front of another Blue Sky film, The Peanuts Movie. The previous movies have been Ice Age, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Ice Age: Continental Drift. This is the fifth movie in the Ice Age franchise and they have proven hugely popular for 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios the previous four installments have taken nearly $730 million between them at the domestic box office.
