The plot of ice age 3

Although the mammoth Manifu (voiced by ray Romano), the saber-toothed tiger Tiago (voiced by denis leary) and the sloth Sid (voiced by john leguizamo) are annoying, they have to admit that they are clowns, and they can finally have a rest after two crises of glacier melting and collapse. All three settlers have their own jobs. Manny is busy with Ellie (voiced by Quinn Latifah) and enters the sacred palace of marriage. The saber-toothed tiger became the escort of the whole cluster, but Sid was as idle as ever. This time, he brought back some big eggs from nowhere. Sid thought he had got a big bargain, but he never imagined how much trouble he had caused-the mother of the egg was Tyrannosaurus Rex! For this ancient overlord of the earth, how can a little sloth be his opponent? The dinosaur who came to find his child wanted to teach Sid a lesson, so he took Sid with him.

Sid's whereabouts were unknown, and several of his friends could not sit still, so they embarked on a journey to find Sid. Facing Ellie in labor, Manny needs to find Sid as soon as possible and then go home to take care of the baby. Tiago, who has always doubted whether he can become a saber-toothed tiger, is determined to use this journey to prove that he is still a majestic knight. Along the way, Manny and Tiago met with a lot of trouble. Fortunately, they always saved the day, but when they found Sid, they found that Sid had a good relationship with the dinosaur and even became the wet nurse of the little dinosaur. Moreover, Sid also led them to the magical underground world, which is very different from the snow outside. Facing this paradise in the Ice Age, the trio once again experienced various adventures, and Quetta, who struggled for acorns all his life, finally got his wish. ...

Behind the scenes production

Linsan ice age

In 2002, Fox made a medium-sized investment in Spring, creating a box office miracle of 383 million yuan. In 2006, it made a comeback, and still maintained less than $654.38 billion in investment and spring schedule, creating a better box office. The global box office of 652 million yuan is enough to shoot most big productions with investment of 654.38 billion yuan and 200 million yuan, and the protagonist of these achievements is Ice Age. After three years, what is the box office ambition of this new book? Carlos saldanha, the director, is confident: "I can guarantee that this film will not disappoint the audience, especially those who have seen the first two episodes before, because the styles of these three episodes have always been the same, and we hope that each episode can bring different things to the audience. I am quite satisfied with the box office figures of the first two episodes of Ice Age, which shows that everyone likes the film very much and our screenwriter has a strong desire to create. He has even thought about the plot of the next six episodes. Do I have to shoot Ice Age for more than ten years? (Laughter) I hope "Ice Age 3" can get a better box office than the second episode, because this is the first time that "Ice Age" has been shown in the summer file. I know this is the most competitive race in the past years, and everyone is watching you. You can't make any mistakes, or everything will fall short. I also invited many viewers who liked the first two episodes to watch this movie in advance, and their response was very good, which made me more confident in this Ice Age 3. "

Ice Age has always been consistent with the phenomenon of "Iron Blood Producer, Mobile Director", and all three films are directed by carlos saldanha. How did the former visual effects director of Fight Club experience a seven-year relationship with Ice Age? Carlos saldanha said: "In recent years, my work focus has been completely linked with Ice Age. I think about it almost all the time when I go to work, get off work, go home and lie in bed. Needless to say, I feel about this movie. I have always wanted to make an entertaining film, which can really make children and adults like it and bring different thoughts to different ages. I have been trying to do this in Ice Age. I told the screenwriter that I hope this story is simple and complicated, easy to understand, and needs deep thinking. It is both a tragedy and a comedy. They told me that you are great, but I think you can do it in some way. Comics like Ice Age are a good way to express it. The whole glacier will melt, and many animals will be homeless and have nowhere to live. This is actually a tragedy, but we deliberately don't show that side. Instead, what the audience saw was how our Sid gagged in this doomsday world. Children may not think of this, but adults should be able to understand it after a little thinking, so we have arranged some people and natural environment purposefully, hoping to attract everyone's attention.

A more magnificent sight

Ice Age has been described twice, but this time the focus is on dinosaurs, as the English title of the film says. What kind of surprise did this party bring to the audience? Carlos saldanha said: "In the third episode, our hero is a dinosaur. In fact, as early as the first episode, we wanted to describe something related to dinosaurs, but there were so many animals in that episode that we finally canceled the dinosaur because we thought it would steal the camera. Later, I decided to put the dinosaurs in the third episode, a separate chapter, to portray a completely different scene from the previous two episodes. This is the origin of the dinosaur continent in Ice Age 3. The explorer who led us is naturally Sid. "

For the three protagonists and explorers in Ice Age, carlos saldanha commented one by one: "Manny is a typical movie protagonist, a role model for children, and a hero in everything he does, with strength and confidence. Diego actually wanted to give it up in the second episode, but many viewers expressed their love for this melancholy saber-toothed tiger, so we arranged some melancholy storylines for it in the third episode (laughs); Sid, everyone's old friend, always leaks, and the third episode is as boring as ever. Whenever I go to the company and hear john leguizamo dubbing him, I can't help laughing, because Sid's accent is really strange, but john leguizamo's pronunciation is fine. He had to try to pretend that effect, which was difficult for him, but he did it and the audience felt it. In the scene, the three protagonists will experience many worlds with extraordinary visual effects. I must admit that this is the most magnificent one in the Ice Age series, which will definitely make everyone feel incredible, but we did it. "

An ice age lets everyone know that besides Pixar and DreamWorks, there is also a blue sky studio. In the 20th century, when Universal, Paramount and other "old shops" woke up from a dream and joined in succession, Fox's first step was enough to constitute their disdainful capital. However, after pot calling the kettle black, embarrassment followed. Think about the Ice Age, which is not as good as Pixar's award-winning professionals and Shrek's printing machine. Elite word-of-mouth model or grassroots entertainment route? Ice age series faces a choice.

Two trailers with different focuses seem to be interested in answering the above questions. Personally, I think Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaur is determined to learn Shrek 2, and play spoof, parody, subversion and deconstruction to the extreme. ..... Otherwise, how dare you stick to the "independence day agenda" between the transformation of king kong 2: a comeback and the destruction of the earth on 20 12? Looking forward to the persistent little squirrel stepping on the iron bucket, tsunami.
