One of the most popular cartoons of our time is “Ice Age”. The characters of this animated franchise captivated the small viewers and their parents at a glance. Who are they: the heroes of the Ice Age?
Ice Age (cartoon): characters. Mammoth manny
The protagonist of the animated franchise is a non-communicative, but terribly “correct” and decent mammoth Manfred. Manny hides behind his gloomy mask his sensitivity and kindness, as well as the great grief that he had to endure, because once a human tribe killed his family.
Manny always feels responsible for those whom he “tamed”. Despite the fact that the sloth Sid from the very beginning caused him one irritation, the mammoth continued to protect him and rescue him from dangerous situations. In the following parts, Manny found a wife for himself and they even had a daughter.
Ice Age: Character Names. Sloth Sid
Sloth Sid is the main star of the Ice Age. Without this funny and very hilarious character, a franchise would hardly have enjoyed such success.
Sid is annoying and talkative. He gives out a million words a minute, so even his own family could not bear him. After the relatives threw the lisping sloth to the mercy of fate, he sided with Manny and this couple did not part anymore. However, Sid remained complex about his family - he tried to get himself new relatives at all costs. So his “adoptive” children turned out to be three dinosaurs.
Saber-toothed tiger Diego
Diego appears in the very first part of the cartoon "Ice Age". The characters Manny and Sid meet him near a human settlement when they decide to pick up the lost baby and take it to his "pack." From the very beginning, Diego planned to ambush a sloth and a mammoth, select a child, and kill his fellow travelers. But on the way the main characters became friends, so Diego saved them and became a regular member of the comedic trio.
In the following parts, Diego meets the same bold and independent tigress and their romance begins.
Saber-toothed squirrel
Another “decoration” of the film is a silly saber-toothed squirrel. The center of her universe is the acorn. She chases him around the world with bulging eyes. It is because of this acorn that all troubles begin: tectonic shifts, global warming, earthquakes and other natural disasters.
In the third cartoon, Scrath has a partner - a female saber-toothed squirrel named Scratti. In the future, they create all the outrages together and still can not agree on who will possess the coveted acorn.
Mamontich Ellie
What are the characters of the "Ice Age" from the first part, we figured out. In the second part, another mammoth joins the main company - a girl named Ellie.
Ellie and Manny are the last mammoths on Earth. Since Ellie's parents died early, she was raised by two comedic possums. As a result, the animal quite seriously believed that it belongs to the class of possums and for a long time led the same way of life. Ellie’s habits of hanging upside down looked especially comical.
Ellie is very sociable and emotional. She immediately became attached to her new friends, especially to Manny. In the final of the second part, the last two mammoths on Earth become spouses. And a little later they have a daughter, Peach.
Possum duet
The cartoon "Ice Age", whose characters are well known to both children and adults, would not be so ironic and cheerful if it were not for the duet of possums.
Opossums are real animals, unlike the saber-toothed squirrel, which was invented by the creators of the franchise. Crash and Eddie are characterized by a boorish sense of humor, impudence, and also love to misbehave. Manny from the very beginning was not enthusiastic about such "relatives" of Ellie. But Crash and Eddie sincerely loved and cared for the mammoth, so they had to put up with their presence in the "pack."
With the birth of Peach, the two possums settled down a bit and turned their attention to the little mammoth.
Mammoth Peach
In the cartoon "Ice Age", the characters Manny and Ellie started a family, and then became the parents of a lovely girl named Peach.
The birth of the girl brought revival to the company of the main characters - all attention was switched to the child. Especially over Peach her father Manny was shaking. Over time, the mammoth grew up into a beautiful young lady, who began to get angry when she was overly patronized. In addition, Peach fell in love for the first time in his life, and her chosen one was not the best representative of the mammoth family.
Mole louis
A mole named Louis appeared only in the fourth franchise film. He is a close friend of Peach. As often happens, the girl never took Luis seriously. However, this did not stop Louis from jealous of Peach to her beloved Ethan.
Little brave Louis for the sake of "the lady of his heart" was ready to fight with anyone - even with the pirate captain Gatt himself! However, this character remained the hero of only the fourth series - in the fifth film, Louis does not participate in the adventures of the main characters.
Other characters
In the animated series Ice Age, the characters changed from film to film. Over the 14 years of the franchise's existence, the main characters took part in the adventures of the protagonists: the saber-toothed tigress of Shira, the annoying grandmother of Sid, the stupid brothels of Karl and Frank, the sloths of Jennifer and Rachel, as well as many other animals.
In July 2016, the fifth cartoon, codenamed “Clash is Inevitable,” will be released on the big screens. And in this part even more new and comedic characters will be involved.
