It is sequel to the computer-animated 2002 film Ice Age. Most of the characters from the original film are back (even the Dodos make an appearance at the end of the movie). Manny the Mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the Sloth (John Lequizamo), and Diego the Tiger (Denis Leary) are living a life of relative comfort in a beautiful valley surrounded by other peace-loving creatures. Sid has opened a camp for kids.
Meanwhile, Manny wallows in melancholy because it seems that he is the last of his species. A fast-talking, con-man armadillo named Fast Tony (Jay Leno) claims that the ice is melting and that the end of the world will soon be upon everyone. No one believes him until Manny and Diego discover that the Ice Age has long since reached its apex and is receding rapidly. Their claim is supported by a hungry vulture who says that in three days the entire valley will be flooded and the only way to safety is on a giant boat at the other end of the valley. As huge chunks of ice begin falling into the valley, everyone begins a long march to the other side of the valley.
Along the way, Manny, Sid, and Diego bump into two opossum and a female mammoth named Ellie (Queen Latifah) whom claims to be the opossums' sister and thinks she is an opossum, too. The two different tribes join together as one to reach the end of the valley. Along the way both Ellie and Manny have to overcome their pasts in order to build a new life together into the future. Breaking up the main action of the story several times in the movie are the adventures of Scrat, a hybrid squirrel and rat, as he tries to possess an acorn that always seems just beyond his reach.
Ice Age: The Meltdown is a thoroughly enjoyable film. At its core, it is a love story that everyone in the family can enjoy. The movie is a sequel, but it is a great sequel and in some ways is superior than the original ICE AGE. The movie is very well written. It introduces some new characters without cheapening the original characters and it is appropriate for the all ages. Not only that, but the movie stands on its own: a person who has never seen ICE AGE can enjoy the film without feeling that they are missing something.
