Mercifully Scrat is on-hand to perk proceedings up, his mini-movies transporting the squirrel to a nutty desert island and, most memorably, Scratlantis, where he encounters a quite hilarious vocal cameo. A predictable and preachy tale of teenage angst, it slows the story down and feels more like an episode of Family Ties than a diverting blockbuster sub-plot. Less successful is the parallel story that unfolds back home, and revolves around Manny’s daughter Peaches befriending the ‘cool kids’ before being rejected by the buggers.

Along the way they encounter intense storms, malevolent pirates, deadly sirens and kindly whales, and these lively sequences deliver many of the movie’s highlights. The rest of the film documents their efforts to be reunited with said loved ones, as they embark on an action-packed journey across the high seas. For the land division sets them adrift on a tiny iceberg, separating the triumvirate from their family and friends. Scrat’s isn’t an isolated story this time around, however, with his immense mishap having a devastating effect on the characters in the main story – namely Manny the mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Dennis Leary).

His efforts take him to the centre of the earth, where the prehistoric squirrel tears up the tectonic plates and causes the continents to split.
ICE AGE ADVENTURES SCRATLANTIS SERIES
Proceedings commence in classic Ice Age style, with series mainstay Scrat endeavouring to guard his beloved (and seemingly cursed) nut. So while the narrative is nothing to write home about, following the template of countless family flicks, the visuals are striking and lush and the jokes consistently hilarious. Yet while the filmmakers could have taken a lazy approach to Ice Age: Continental Drift, rushing the sequel into cinemas and cackling maniacally as the money floods in, they actually seem to have taken some time and care over this one.
