Ellie tries to support her daughter, but Manny becomes exceedingly over-protective. Meanwhile, Sid 's family returns, but only long enough to drop off the elderly Granny before abandoning them both. Shortly after, a continental break - up separates Manny from The Herd. Trapped on a moving chunk of ice with Sid, Granny, and Diego, Manny has no choice but to ride out the current. Meanwhile, a giant land shift encroaches on Ellie, Peaches, and those remaining on land, causing them to make their way towards a land bridge. Meanwhile, Scrat, in a subplot, finds an acorn that has a treasure map on it that directs him towards an island. After violent weather pushes them further away from land, Manny 's group is captured by a band of pirates sailing on a floating iceberg led by a Gigantopithecus, Captain Gutt, who attempts to press them into his crew. When they refuse, Gutt tries to execute them, leading to their escape, which inadvertently cause the ship and food supplies to sink. Gutt 's first mate, a female sabretooth named Shira, joins them after she is left for dead. The Herd washes ashore on Switchback Cove, which gives a current back to their home. Manny coordinates a plan using a group of hyrax to steal a new iceberg ship that Gutt is planning to use, and they are able to escape using the ship, Shira staying with Gutt. Gutt forms another ship and plans to seek revenge on Manny. After narrowly escaping a pack of sirens, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Granny return home only to find the land bridge destroyed and that Gutt has beaten them and taken Ellie, Peaches, and the rest of The Herd hostage. A fight issues, as Granny 's pet whale, Precious, arrives and fends off Gutt 's crew. Manny defeats Gutt in a final duel on an ice floe and reunites with his family and friends. Gutt subsequently encounters a siren that assumes the shape of a female Gigantopithecus, and is eaten alive. With their home destroyed, Precious takes the entire crew, including Shira to a lush island where the hyraxes from earlier have already started rebuilding their civilization. In the film 's epilogue, Scrat discovers the island on the map, known as Scratlantis ( a parody of Atlantis ), but his uncontrollable urge to hunt acorns in the acorn - rich city inadvertently causes the entire island to sink when he unplugs an acorn drain holder ; Scrat is then ejected into a newly created desert landscape, through which he screams as his tears boil from the heat.

In addition to the original score by John Powell, the film also features Beethoven 's 9th Symphony. Powell explained his decision : `` At the beginning of the film, the creation of the geographical world as we know it seemed just such an immense idea to musically convey, that I gave up entirely and used Beethoven 's Ninth Symphony instead. With a bit of obscenely crass re-orchestration and blatantly cheap arranging tricks normally associated with strippers, we got it to fit the action perfectly. But the cost that I must now bear is having to live forever in hiding, since the `` Beethoven Society '' issued a `` fatwa '' on me.

Critical response Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 38 % of critics have given the film positive reviews, with a rating average of 5.1 / 10 based on 131 reviews. The consensus statement reads, `` Ice Age : Continental Drift 3D has moments of charm and witty slapstick, but it often seems content to recycle ideas from the previous films. '' Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 49 based on 29 reviews, indicating `` mixed or average reviews. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film two stars out of four and stated : `` Watching this film was a cheerless exercise for me. The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat - a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3 - D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments. '' Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter said : `` It 's familiar, drawn - out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points. '' Simon Brew, writing for Den of Geek, gave a very positive four - star review, saying that `` not only is Ice Age 4 arguably the best in the franchise yet, it 's also, a little surprisingly perhaps ( given that it 's a fourth movie in a franchise, turned around on a strict cycle ), turned out to be thoroughly, thoroughly entertaining family blockbuster.
