Ice Age/Characters


This is a list of characters from the animated film series Ice Age.

The 'Herd'

Manny

Voiced by: Ray Romano

A Mammoth whose full name is Manfred; Manny is introduced in the first film as anti-social and uncaring to those around him but he gets better and eventually becomes quite friendly and kind if not a total killjoy.

Sid

Voiced by: John Leguizamo

A Sloth who is the 'Gooey Stuff' that keeps the herd together. He is portrayed as clumsy, fast-talking, and unpopular; and is voiced with a lateral lisp. Also self-dubs himself 'Lord of the Flame' after he learns to create fire in the first film.

Diego

Voiced by: Denis Leary

A smilodon who is the only carnivore of the group. Has a somewhat sarcastic personality, although it's usually not intended as malicious. He was a bad guy in the first film but after bonding with Manny and Sid he inevitably did a Heel Face Turn.

Characters Introduced In The First Film

Scrat

Voiced by: Chris Wedge

A squirrel who shows up in the beginning before the opening credits, right after the end before the closing credits, and a couple of scenes in between. Oh, and every single ad for every movie.

  • Breakout Character:Ever since Scrat was positively reviewed by many in the first film they increased his screen time the rest of the film series .He even appears in more advertisement for the film than any other character and he is even more popular and recognized than any other character .
  • Butt Monkey
  • Cartoon Creature: Yes Scrat is sabertooth Squirrel but there is only one problem Sabertooth Squirrels never existed in Real Life and God knows he does not look like a modern day squirrel he has the tail of a raccoon and snout of a dog .
  • The Chew Toy
  • Cosmic Plaything: Those sadistic writers are never going to give poor Scrat his acorn for more than a few seconds...
  • Decoy Protagonist: Mainly due to Trailers Always Lie.
  • Eyes of Gold / Brown Eyes
  • Failure Is the Only Option: he's never getting his hands on that acorn.
  • Informed Species:The creators had to let the audience know he is a fictional prehistoric squirrel despite looking like something else .
  • Nice Job Breaking It Scrat: His lusting after the acorn has caused many disastrous events to happen to the Ice Age, most notably in the shorts that feature his breaking the continents asunder twice in Gone Nutty and its remake of sorts, Scrat's Continental Crack-Up, among other things.
    • This ends up saving the day in The Meltdown, when he breaks a wall holding the flood in.
  • Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer: Inverted. A lot of the trailers for the movie were nothing but scenes of him and his quest. But he's only in the movie for a few seconds, has no lines, and has absolutely nothing to do with the story except at the end of The Meltdown when he breaks a wall holding in the flood.
  • Wolverine Publicity:Appears in everything represented for Ice Age.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: The acorn heaven in the second movie.

Soto

Voiced by: Goran Visnjic

The deadly and dangerous leader of a pack of saber-toothed tigers, Soto wanted to eat baby Roshan A.K.A 'Pinkie' in vengeance for the murders of several of his pack-mates. He is the main antagonist in the first film.

Roshan, AKA Pinkie

The baby that Manfred, Sid and Diego returned to his father.

  • Brother Chuck: He has never appeared or been alluded to once in the two sequels. A shame, because the SZH's rescue of him really changed them all for the better, and the herd was a result of his, uh, meddling (so to speak).
  • Brown Eyes
  • Cheerful Child: Roshan is laughing happily when Sid drops him while he is climbing the cliff, and he takes everything in stride when it comes to being rescued by three animals - including Diego.
  • Cuteness Proximity
  • Infant Immortality: Obviously...
  • MacGuffin
  • Token Human

Characters Introduced In The Second Film

Ellie

Voiced by: Queen Latifah

Crash and Eddie

Voiced by: Seann William Scott and Josh Peck

Two twin brother opossums who become new protagonists in the second film. Adopted brothers of Ellie the mammoth, they cared for her and taught her to hang by her tail from a tree branch when she slept, as they did. They are usually portrayed as the comic reliefs of the group.

Cretaceous and Maelstrom

Vulture

Characters Introduced In The Third Film

Buck

Voiced by: Simon Pegg

A weasel that makes an appearance in the third film and is one of the new protagonists. He is missing his right eye and wears a leaf as an impromptu eyepatch, and is slightly insane.

Scratte

Voiced by: Karen Disher

Scratte {pronounced "Scrat-tae" in the trailers} is a female sabre-toothed squirrel that makes her debut in the third film. She is seen in the second trailer with Scrat battling with her for the acorn by propelling themselves down a gorge to reach the fallen acorn, and succeeding. Scratte is also seen as a Love Interest for Scrat. Throughout numerous conflicts, the two fall in love, but Scrat ultimately returns to his old ways. At the end of the film, Scratte is left in the dinosaurs' jungle while Scrat is back on the surface.
