What happens

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a 2009 American animated adventure comedy film and the third installment in the Ice Age film series following Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006). Produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, it was directed by Carlos Saldanha, and written by Michael Berg, Peter Ackerman, Mike Reiss, and Yoni Brenner. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Josh Peck, Seann William Scott and Queen Latifah reprise their roles from the previous two films, with Simon Pegg joining the cast. In the film, while Manny and Ellie are preparing for their baby, Sid the Sloth is kidnapped by a female Tyrannosaurus after stealing her eggs, leading the rest of the herd to rescue him in a tropical lost world inhabited by dinosaurs underneath the ice. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was released on July 1, 2009 by 20th Century Fox, and initially received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its animation but criticism for the story. Despite this, retrospective reviews have now seen Dawn of the Dinosaurs as the best sequel in the franchise, and the film grossed $886.7 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film and the highest-grossing animated film of 2009. It was followed by two further sequels, Ice Age: Continental Drift in July 13, 2012 and Ice Age: Collision Course in July 22, 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
