During the Ice Age, many animals left their homes and traveled to warmer places because everything became cold and covered with ice and snow.
A lonely mammoth named Manny was walking by himself. On the way, he met a funny and talkative sloth named Sid, who decided to travel with him.
Later, they found a human baby near a river. Manny and Sid understood that the baby was lost, so they decided to return him to his family.
While they were traveling, a saber-toothed tiger named Diego joined them. At first, Diego had a secret plan because his tiger pack wanted to attack the humans and take the baby.
During the journey, the friends went through many dangerous places. They walked on ice, escaped from caves, and tried to survive in the cold weather. Sid often made jokes and caused funny problems, but he also helped his friends many times.
At first, Manny did not trust Diego because he was a tiger. But later, Diego understood that Manny, Sid, and the baby had become his real friends. He decided not to help the tiger pack anymore and protected the baby instead.
One day, the pack of saber-toothed tigers attacked them. Manny fought the tigers and protected his friends. Diego was hurt while helping Manny and Sid save the baby.
In the end, they found the baby’s father and returned the child to him. The father was very happy to see his baby again. After that, Manny, Sid, and Diego said goodbye to the humans and continued traveling together as friends.
