Ice Age 3 is family fun

Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (Cert U, Family/Comedy/Action)

Sid the sloth (voiced by John Leguizamo) yearns for a family so he ‘appropriates’ a nest of soon-to-hatch dinosaur eggs.

Manny the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano) senses the folly of this endeavour. Sure enough, the eggs crack open, releasing three baby dinosaurs, and the mother comes looking for her stolen babies.

She scoops up Sid, who has bonded with the carnivorous youngsters, and carries them all back to the nest.

Manny and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) embark on a perilous rescue mission accompanied by the love of Manny’s life, Ellie (Queen Latifah).
