When it pretends to be an acorn, then he falls for it. Scrat NOT being Distracted by the Sexy when a siren pretends to be Scratte.The Siren recoils, and makes a grunt that sounds like "Ew. After the Siren escapade, Sid goes back to the roaring Siren that lured him and says "Call me".He compounds this by combining the Wallace-esque face paint with a Maori Haka. Then when the three are sucked into a tornado and they go upwards into the clouds, Sid exclaims "Hey, guys! There really is a rainbow around every corner!" Manny and Diego stare blankly.before all three plummet back down to Earth."If I don't make it, find me a wife, and tell her I LOVE HER!".While it's not the best animated adventure you'll see, Ice Age 4 is sure to please the kids.Manny: Just keep your eye on the horizon! Girls will also be taken with the low-key love story that develops between Diego and Shira ( Jennifer Lopez), a pirate tigress who needs a lesson in the meaning of camaraderie. The addled but hilarious sloth grandma is by far the breakout new character, and her silly comments and constant muttering will win kids over and make even jaded parents laugh aloud. Ice Age: Continental Drift's new characters/storylines are both hit and miss - things fall flat with the teens (Louis and Peaches are cute, but the young mammoth clique featuring the voices of Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Glee star Heather Morris is just an annoying attempt to capture the tween audience), but the addition of Granny is rather genius.

At least Scrat gets more screen time than ever (and if there's an animated creature bound to tickle every single member of the audience's funny bone, it's the Sisyphean Scrat). The new setting (at sea) doesn't leave room for much breathtaking animation, but the action sequences are pretty spectacular in 3-D, even if the story is a little flimsy. The original threesome is now middle-aged, and with their age come new problems, particularly for overprotective father Manny. This isn't the most inspired film in the series, but these characters are like comfort food - pleasingly familiar.
