Ice Age is an American franchise created by Blue Sky Studios, starting with its first film in 2002. It follows a group of mammals living in the ice age in prehistoric times. Originally just Sid the sloth, Manny the mammoth, and Diego the saber-toothed cat, later films add more characters to their "herd". There is also Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel, who has his own misadventures relating to his acorn.

Ice Age: The Meltdown (also known as Ice Age 2: The Meltdown) is a 2006 to the first film Ice Age, directed by Carlos Saldanha and produced by Blue Sky Studios.

It follows the three main characters from the first film as they learn that their valley will be flooded by a massive dam when the ice melts. On the way to a safer place, they come across a female mammoth named Ellie raised by two possums named Crash and Eddie, who could be a chance for Manny to start a family.

During Scrat's first scene he runs out of limbs to stop the leaks so he uses his mouth, causing him to inflate and fly around before dropping thousands of feet.
