History Awesome / IceAge

'''[[AC: Ice Age]]'''
* Diego TakingTheBullet to protect Manny from Soto in the final epic showdown, even though it means his death.
** As mentioned above, the epic showdown was also awesome.
* [[FauxSymbolism Manny rescuing Diego – at the time]], [[HeroicSacrifice his enemy – from a river of lava about to consume him.]]
* The reconciliation scene between Manny and the human chief [[AllThereInTheManual Runar]] when he returns his son Roshan to him. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
* [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Diego limping forward to reunite with Manny and Sid at the end, and his goodbye to Roshan – covering one side of his face for "Where's The Baby".]]
* Sid shoves Zeke, a saber-toothed cat, into a tiny hole after saving the baby from him.
** What he says as he does this also counts.
--->'''Sid:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SURVIVAL! OF THE! FITTEST!!]] I don't think so!
* As Soto slowly makes his way toward Roshan, Manny knocks him aside to a rock wall, the impact causing sharp icicles to fall on the evil saber, impaling him and instantly killing him.
** Then scaring off the other cowardly sabers.
* "Sorry fellas! He caught a little frostbite!"
* Sid defeating the dodos single-handedly.
* Sid's ice-skating (well, until he crashes) and later his skiing and snowboarding away from the sabers.
* Manny taking on two rhinos to protect Sid. To reiterate, he doesn't like Sid, he just seems like an annoyance and while the rhinos seem to have a real grudge against him, when they say they're just gonna kill him and leave the corpse for the vultures, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment what's Manny's reaction]]?
--> '''Manny:''' [[TheBigGuy You know, I don't like animals who kill for pleasure]].
* Hell, even just watching Roshan's tribe fighting a pack of Smilodon with nothing but stone weapons and a pair of dogs. It was pretty clear by the time the dogs were released that if Soto hadn't pulled them back, Runar and his tribe would probably have had a few more Saber pelts to wear.

* After nearly twenty years, [[https://youtu.be/Uuua5lVrdP0 The End]] shows Scrat ''finally'' catching and eating the acorn that he had been chasing throughout the entire franchise. It might be small, but after seeing what the little guy has gone through for all of these years, it is incredibly cathartic and satisfying to see him finally get it. Also doubles as a tearjerker with the context that this is Creator/BlueSkyStudios' very last project before shutting down a day later.
