![]() ![]() Some Mini-sloths appear in the Christmas short Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas. Shortly thereafter, the Mini-sloths found the corpses of the film's two villainous marine reptiles, Cretaceous and Maelstrom, and took them away as "good sushi". The rest of the herd were shocked to see Sid's story true. The Mini-sloths beg Sid to join them as a figure of honor (always believing he was the one who saved the world), but Diego, was shocked by the fact that Sid was telling the truth about that night and about them and realizing how much Sid is really worth, helps the sloth refuse the offer kindly, because his friends need him. The Mini-sloths reappear again, all survivors (presumably they also climbed the ark) towards the end of the film, after the flood occurred and Sid is terrified to see them and hides behind Diego. The next morning when Sid comes back from his herd, he tries to explain that he was kidnapped by the Mini-sloths last night, but no one believes him. Luckily Sid unties and the other end of the rope hooks to a branch on a rock and only a tuft of sloth hair touches the lava, and then Sid is catapulted into the nostril of his statue's nose which begins to collapse, take the joy out of the Mini-sloths and make them run and scream in fear while Sid always sneaks into the statue's nose and the Mini-sloths consider it a "bad juju". Layla Zee explains that throwing him into a volcano would save the earth, Sid tries to explain that there would be 100 years of "bad juju" if they killed him, but the Mini-sloths throw him into the volcano anyway. After Sid realizes that the Mini-sloths are mimicking his own movements, he enjoys a wild party, until the Mini-sloths tie him up with hianas. ![]() When Sid wakes up, he does not understand what is happening and asks if he can do something for the Mini-sloths, as soon as he arrives at their camp he tells himself that that is respect for him.Īfter that the Mini-sloths unload Sid on an altar with a wreath on his head with Layla Zee who gives him some stones and asks him to create the fire with which Sid willingly does it. One night while the pack sleeps with Ellie and her adoptive brothers, Crash and Eddie, Sid is kidnapped dragged on a piece of wood while he sleeps. Originally Ellie would've helped the group cross the geyser field by climbing to a tree and telling them where to go, and this would've separated her from Manny, Sid and Diego, as opposed to their fight in the final film.Mini-sloths spy on Sid for three quarters of the movie. The director found it boring and livened things up with the "Food, Glorious Food" number, married with the previous concept of the group crossing the perilous landscape. The scene between Sid's encounter with the Mini-Sloths and the geyser field originally was a travel montage of the group crossing various perils. Originally the film was a No Antagonist story, but the filmmakers felt they needed an antagonist with a face, thus the creation of Cretaceous and Maelstrom Scrat was originally going to officially join the group, but was ultimately delegated to his traditional outsider role. A third reptile was going to appear alongside Cretaceous and Maelstrom. The following were cut from the film: Originally a crisis would've erupted at the boat, as a vulture would've refused animals who did not have mates entry onto the boat (obviously taking the "ark" parallel further). ![]()
