Once The Eds and Manny, a no-nonsense mammoth meets Sid, a loudmouthed ground sloth and the five find a human baby, they set out to return the baby. Joining them is a saber-tooth tiger named Diego, who is commanded by his pack leader to bring the baby to him to enact revenge against the humans. Principal photography took place during July 2017 in Norway, Finland and Montreal.
==Plot==
A saber-toothed squirrel (known as Scrat) is trying to find a place to store his prized acorn. Eventually, as he tries to stomp it into the ground, he causes a large crack in the ground that extends for miles and miles and sets off a large avalanche. He barely escapes, but finds himself stepped on by a herd of prehistoric animals. The animals are trying to avoid the ice age by migrating south. The Eds (Lucas Hedges, Sam Claflin and Adam Butcher) and Sid (John Leguizamo), a clumsy ground sloth left behind by his family, decides to move on by themselves but are attacked by two Brontops whom them angered by ruining their meal. The Eds and Sid is soon saved by Manfred "Manny" (Ray Romano), an agitated woolly mammoth who fights them off and is heading north. Not wanting to be alone and unprotected, The Eds and Sid follows Manny. Meanwhile, Soto (Kyle MacLachlan), the leader of a saber-toothed cat pack, wants revenge on a group of humans for killing half of his pack, by eating the chief's baby son, Roshan, alive. Soto leads a raid on the human camp, during which Roshan's mother (Annabella Piugattuk) is separated from the rest and jumps down a waterfall when cornered by Soto's lieutenant, Diego (Denis Leary). For his failure, Diego is sent to find and retrieve the baby. Later, The Eds, Sid and Manny spot Roshan and his mother near the lake, having survived her plunge. The mother only has enough strength to entrust her baby to Eddy before she disappears into the water. After much persuasion by Sid, they decide to return Roshan, but when they reach the human settlement, they find it deserted. They meet up with Diego, who convinces the six to let him help by tracking the humans. The seven travel on, with Diego secretly leading them to his pack for an ambush. After encountering several misadventures on their way, they reach a cave with several cave paintings made by humans. There The Eds, Sid and Diego learn about Manny's past and his previous interactions with the human hunters, in which his wife and child were killed, leaving Manny a depressed loner. Later, The Eds, Manny, Sid, Diego and Roshan almost reach their destination—Half-Peak, but encounter a river of lava. The Eds, Manny and Sid, along with Roshan, make it across safely, but Diego freezes, about to fall into the lava. Eddy and Manny saves him, narrowly missing certain death by falling into the lava themselves. The herd takes a break for the night, and Roshan takes his first walking steps towards Ed and Diego, in which changes Diego's mind about his mission. The next day, The Eds and the herd approaches the ambush, causing Diego—now full of respect for The Eds and Manny for saving his life—to change his mind and confess to The Eds, Manny and Sid about the ambush. As the five turn hostile towards him, Diego asks for their trust, and tries to foil the attack. The Eds and The herd battles Soto's pack, but despite their efforts, Soto's associates manage to corner Eddy and Manny. As Soto closes in for the kill on Eddy and Manny, Diego sacrifices himself by jumping in the way and is injured as a result. Ed, Eddy and Manny then knocks a distracted Soto into a rock wall, causing several sharp icicles to fall onto Soto, killing him. Horrified, the rest of the pack retreat. The Eds, Manny and Sid mourn for Diego's injury, which they believe is fatal, and continue their journey without him. Soon, The Eds, Manny and Sid manage to return Roshan to his tribe, and to their surprise, Diego manages to rejoin them, in time to see the baby leave. The Eds and their group then begin to head off to warmer climates. 20,000 years later, Scrat, frozen in ice, ends up on the shores of a tropical island. As the ice slowly melts, the acorn is washed away. Scrat then finds a coconut and tries stomp it into the ground, only to mistakenly trigger a volcanic eruption.
