History WMG / IceAge

They were created by a tribe that held mammoths in high regard, if not venerated them, all enough for them to have a tabboo on hunting them. The humans depicted in the scene are intentionally made simplistic and unhuman compared to the mammoths in it to show how barbaric they are to hunt them, according to the tribe.

...as an [[JustForPun Andrewsarchus]]. They've already had Creator/SimonPegg and Creator/NickFrost in the films, and if they don't at least ''try'' to get Serkis, someone is doing their job wrong.

Scrat [[TimeAbyss has existed for millions of years]], his IronButtMonkey status has allowed him to survive things no other character has an is generally an agent of chaos. [[CartoonCreature There isn't a real saber-tooth squirrel]]; perhaps because Scrat is no mere squirrel? "Ratatoskr" is generally thought to mean "dril-tooth" or "bore-tooth", which is the real reason for his saber-toothed status. There being other species? Well it's never actually said in the myths Ratatoskr is a SingleSpeciesSpecimen, though Scrat's outrageous feats would be unique to the Norse squirrel deity.

In Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Continental Drift, Manny acts as an OverprotectiveDad who won't let Peaches go out places alone or grow up, because he let Roshan do just that, and then Roshan's whole species died out before Manny could ever see him again. It wasn't ''just'' because Manny lost his first son. Also in the third movie, Sid reveals himself to be very lonely, and adopts the three dinosaur eggs. Both of these elements of the plot resulted from Sid's grief and guilt over losing and not being able to protect Roshan, and thinking that he would never see the human baby he rescued again. When Sid can no longer be with his "kids", he realises that you cannot protect children forever, and believes that Roshan may be somewhere out there still, and if he is, he can fend for himself. This could be an explanation for why Sid is more optimistic than Diego and Manny- he has more faith than them that Roshan is alive. He also believes that his being an HonouraryUncle to Peaches is his third chance to try and successfully be involved in the raising of a child to adulthood. Sid begins to recover from the loss of the human baby.

Easily explaining his absence from ''Adventures of Buck Wild''. His death is also what made the Lost World safe enough for mammals to start migrating there en masse.

* retconned into what? A platypus? Please elaborate.

They're stories that Roshan has made up, that he tells to his friends and other tribe members. This is why there are no humans even mentioned in the sequels--as far as Roshan knows, the humans all migrated away. (Also, it's just less interesting.) This also explains why the stories get more fantastic as they go along, Roshan is just having fun with it.

[[WMG: The two frozen sea reptiles from Ice Age 2 are [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Flotsam and Jetsam]] and are immortal.]]

* There have been news that Blue Sky is making a spin-off for ''Creator/DisneyPlus'' which will focus on Buck, something that fans believe was LONG overdue.

** Jossed in that ''A Mammoth Christmas'' featured Santa Claus who is a human. Specifically ''Homo sapiens'', although that would still support the Neanderthal aspect of this WMG.

* There have been news that Blue Sky is making a spin-off for ''Creator/DisneyPlus'' which will focus on Buck, something that fans have been asking for for a long time.

Before serving Ursula, the two reptiles lived undersea in the late Cretacious period. When the Ice Age came, they were frozen in ice until Ice Age 2. After being defeated by Manfred and co, they waited a few thousand centuries for the right opportunity to cause Chaos. [[SuddenlyVoiced They also learned how to speak!]] Then they found the Sea Witch.

* Disney are keeping Blue Sky’s operations largely separate from Disney Animations Studios.

It will loose the DenserAndWackier aspects that the sequels had, and give a similar tone to the first one including the return of Roshan, albeit older. This will close off the Ice Age franchise and hopefully rescue it in the eyes of the fans, especially since Disney is currently in its Revival.

Because of course.

[[WMG: Three main characters lived through the Ice Age as immortal animals succumbing to the {{Fog Of Ages}}.]]

We're told [[AllThereInTheManual in the spin-off book]] that they were frozen "a million years ago". Taking that at face value, and assuming that the Cretaceous mass extinction happened at the same time in the movies' world as it did in ours creates a conundrum. But at the same time we know that there's a LostWorld of dinosaurs and other mesozoic animals still living at the time the movies take place, so it's entirely possible that, instead of being frozen during the dinosaur age (when there weren't even any ice caps to begin with), Maelstrom and Cretaceous somehow escaped from the Dinosaur World and became frozen before thawing out again.
