thread_title: Some Minor Character Names

message: I don't believe this section makes much sense:
:"Ice Age was rated PG by the MPAA, but is re-rated PG-13 by the MPAA."
Should it be:
:"Ice Age was originally rated PG by the MPAA, but was later re-rated as a PG-13."
A reference would be good. — MovieJunkie Talk! 16:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scientific Names 

message: According to this article, the "tiger" called Lenny is a Homotherium while the other "tigers" (Diego, Soto, etc.) are Smilodon. I think all these characters belonged to the same species (either Homotherium or Smilodon, in the movie neither scientific name is mentioned) - Don golgi (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To see the logic behind this, I suggest a look to the official guide for the movie. The guide says, and I quote:
"He's actually a rare scimitar cat, so don't call him a saber-toothed tiger-it might make him mad."
There it is.

thread_title:  Edit request on 21 July 2012 

message: The synopsis of the movie drifts awkwardly between past tense and present tense, and three times uses "there" to mean "their". There are also at least three dangling participles.  Take a look at this passage:
As Soto closes in for the kill on Manfred, Diego leaps and stops Soto, who wounds Diego in the process. Manfred, in vengeance, knocks Soto into a rock wall, causing several sharp icicles to fall on Soto, killing him. Manfred and Sid go up to an injured Diego...
So far all in the present tense, in normal story-telling fashion.
...and where to to go on with out them....
Something is missing here. 
...So Manfred and Sid went to return Roshan to his father and happily reunited.
Now suddenly we're using the past tense.  Also, "and happily reunited" does not make sense. 
...After saying goodbye to Rosha, Diego recovers and rejoins Manfred and Sid...
Now we are back to using the present tense.  Also, here is one of those dangling participles: it suggests that Diego has just said goodbye to Rosha, whereas in fact it is Manfred and Sid who have done so. 
Just a few lines to demonstrate how much editing this article needs.

message: In the 'Plot' section, it has been said that Manny, while looking at the cave drawings, remembers how his wife and child were killed in an attack by humans. But is there any material to prove that the two mammoths in question were in fact his wife and child? Even the video suggests that the two mammoths killed were the adult ones (they are shown shrieking in pain). Probably it is more likely that Manny was the smaller mammal; his parents were killed. Logic says that hunter-gatherers are more likely to kill larger animals for feeding themselves and their families. Besides, in Ice Age:Dawn At The Dinosaurs, Manny does not have a clue what should be done when Ellie goes into labour and prepares to deliver a baby. This would not have been the case had he already fathered a child before. So, an appropriate edit should probably be made.     TheGoodIndian (talk) 19:02, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

message: In the "Directed by" field, please remove Carlos Saldanha, as Chris Wedge is the only person who receives a "Directed by" credit in the movie. While Saldanha is credited as "Co-Director", in animated films, that is apparently considered a subordinate position that isn't included in the infobox, and not a case of two equal directors, like the Coen Brothers are commonly. For example, on the page for Toy Story 2, it says "it was directed by John Lasseter, co-directed by Ash Brannon and Lee Unkrich", but since Lassester was the only person who received the "Directed by" and Brannon and Unkrich only received the credit of "Co-Director", Lasseter is the only person listed in the article "Directed by" field. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 00:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
