A naughty sloth borrowed three dinosaurs for education. What was the name of the sloth from the Ice Age

The three main characters, known from the cartoon "Ice Age" and its sequels, are based on the image of animals that really lived in the Ice Age, which began during the Pleistocene era. However, the saber-toothed protein called Skrat, obsessed with acorns, was a scientific surprise.

Mamont Manny

Manny is a woolly mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius), a species that lived about 200,000 years ago in the steppes of Eastern Eurasia and North America.

The woolly mammoth was about the same size as, but had several distinctive features, including very thick fur throughout the body, consisting of long protective hairs and a shorter, dense undercoat. Manny was a reddish-brown color, but the color of the other mammoths ranged from black to light.

The ears of the mammoth were smaller than the African elephant, which helped him maintain body heat and minimize the risk of frostbite. Another difference between mammoths and elephants: a pair of extremely long tusks curved in an arc around the muzzle. Like modern elephants, mammoths used tusks along with their trunk to raise food, fight predators and other mammoths, and also move objects as needed. A woolly mammoth fed on grass, including sedge, as there were few trees in the grassy steppe landscape.

Sid is a giant land sloth


Sid is a land sloth from an extinct family Megatheriidae, whose representatives were associated with modern three-toed sloths, but they were significantly different in appearance. Giant land lazy lived on Earth, and not on trees, and had a huge size (close to the size of mammoths).

They had large claws (about 65 cm long), but they did not use them to catch other animals. Like those sloths who live today, giant land sloths were not predators. Recent studies of petrified stale excrement show that these giant creatures ate tree leaves, grass, bushes and yucca. They appeared in South America, but gradually migrated to the north and reached the southern regions of North America.

Diego - Smilodon


The long fangs of Diego's teeth are characterized by his personality: he is a saber-toothed tiger, more accurately known as Smilodon (an extinct subfamily - Machairodontinae). Smilodons were the largest felines that ever wandered around our planet, lived in North and South America during the Pleistocene era. They are more like bears than cats, with heavy, stocky bodies created for hunting bison, tapirs, deer, American camels, horses and land sloths such as Sid. "They were able to quickly attack, and make powerful, deep bites in the throat or the upper part of the neck of their prey," explains Per Christiansen from the University of Aalborg in Denmark.

Sabretooth protein Scrat


Unlike Manny, Sid and Diego, the "saber-toothed" Squirrel protein, which always chases the acorns, is not based on a real Pleistocene animal. It was an amusing image from the imagination of the creators of the cartoon.

However, in 2011 in South America was discovered a strange fossil of a mammal, which is very similar to the squirrel Scrat. "The primitive creature, about the size of a mouse, lived among dinosaurs about 100 million years ago, had snout, very long teeth and big eyes - just like the popular animated character of Scrat," the Daily Mail reported.

Other animals that lived in the ice age

  • Mastodons;
  • Cave lions;
  • Indicoterie;
  • Woolly rhinoceroses;
  • Steppe bison;
  • Giant short-beared bears, etc.

Manny, full name Manfred (Ray Romano) - a morose woolly mammoth, who considered himself the last representative of his species on Earth, until he met in the previous cartoon Ellie. Expecting the appearance of her and Ellie's child, Manfred refuses from the usual free way of life, but becomes too nervous, suffers from Ellie's hyperopeptic and paranoidly refers to the future birth of a mammoth.


Alley   (Queen Latifah) - Mamontich, became a companion of Manfred and a friend of Sid and Diego. Usually cheerful and carefree Ally, however, found time to prepare for the birth of her cub and, even being pregnant, did not want to remain safe on the surface, and together with friends she went to save Sid.



Sid, full name Sydney   (John Leguizamo) - a lazy, clumsy and eternally annoying lazy person (megateria), dreaming to prove himself. In the third cartoon, Sid becomes envious of the future family of Manny and Ellie, dreaming to have her own. Therefore, taking himself to raise three dinosaurs, he completely refuses to return their mother, because of what falls into the world of dinosaurs and creates problems for friends forced to go save him.


Diego   (Denis Leary) - proud and independent saber-toothed tiger (from the genus of Smilodons), Diego began to notice that he began to very badly hunt, living in the company of his friends. When Manny and Ellie began to expect the appearance of their child, Diego considered that he no longer has a place among them, as he becomes too "soft", and decides to leave. However, having learned that Sid was abducted by a dinosaur, he, along with everyone, embarks on his salvation. As a result, helping friends and fighting for them, Diego understands that he has something to stay in their pack.


Scrathy   (Karen Disher) - a female saber-toothed squirrel, unlike Scrat is a fly. Facing with Scraith, she goes on tricks, sympathizing with him to get the cherished acorn. It is not known what feelings of protein feels to him in fact, but after Scrat saves her life, Scratty falls in love with him and forgets about the acorn, and afterwards even begins to be jealous of Scrath to him.




Skret (Chris Wedge) is a small male saber-toothed squirrel (a fictional being), traveling separately from other characters and always chasing the same acorn, and forever losing it. In the third cartoon, in front of Scret, a dilemma arises: he meets the squirrel Scratty, who at the same time became the object of his adoration and rival in the struggle for the acorn. Chris Wedge, screaming the screams and squeaks that Scrat produces, is the executive producer of "Ice Age 3" (as well as the producer of the second and the director of the first cartoons).


Tank, full name Buckenstuff   (Simon Pegg), - weasel; a ferocious and fearless dinosaur hunter who lives with them in the underworld with the hermit. Buck rescues the protagonists from the attack of monsters and agrees to take them to the lair of the tyrannosaurus mother to save Sid. Buck does not have the right eye, which he lost in the fight with the most dangerous of the dinosaurs, whom he calls Rudy; From the tooth of this monster, he made himself a dagger. A tank, accustomed to living alone, often behaves like a madman (which in part is).



Rudy   - Such a name Buck gave an albino barionic, a predator, holding other inhabitants of his world in fear. Rudy is the main and most archenemy of Buck's enemy: at one time he almost ate affection, but he managed to survive with a battle, having lost his eye and knocking out Rudy's one tooth, which he now uses as a dagger. As it turned out, the eternal confrontation with Rudi was for Buck the meaning of his life in the world of dinosaurs. Buck's continuous struggle with a gigantic white dinosaur clearly parodies the novel of G. Melville "Moby Dick", where the captain of the whaling vessel Ahab lost his leg due to the monstrous white sperm whale named Moby Dick, and made the endless pursuit of the whale the goal of his life.









Dinosaurs   (Carlos Saldana) - three cubs of tyrannosaurus hatched from the eggs that Sid picked up and whom he named Yolk, Protein and Yayka. After hatching dinosaurs found Sid for their mother and began to imitate the habits of a sloth, and when their real mother appeared behind them, they refused to part with him. Carlos Saldana, voiced dinosaurs, is the director of the cartoon.



Crash   and Eddie   (Sean William Scott and Josh Peck) are two hooligan opossums, half-brothers of Ellie. Acquainted with the Bak in the world of dinosaurs, Crash and Eddie began to experience a fanatical respect for this tireless and fearless beast.



Mom-dinosaur - a tyrannosaur female, who came to the surface to pick up her children. Due to the fact that they did not want to part with Sid, she had to drag him to her world, where she had to fight with him for maternity. Subsequently, she warmly accepted a sloth in her family and in the end defended him and his friends from Rudy.

A huge, kind heart at that moment closed, it seemed forever, but a small child could melt the ice and bring Manny's life to life. We color the mammoth in bright, cheerful colors to once again cheer him up.

"Ice Age" is the second line in the ranking of the most profitable animation franchises, taking into account box office.   The cartoon is very popular, mainly because of the extremely charming characters. Laziness from the "Ice Age" among the constellation of images is marked by spontaneity and pronounced comic. So what kind of animal is this? And what is his biography?

Lenivets from the "Ice Age": name, features of appearance and character

The action of the animated film "Ice Age" unfolds in prehistoric times, during the time of total icing of the Earth. The main actors are funny little animals that really lived in the glacial era: saber-toothed tigers,   mammoths, bronoteria, drones, etc. And of course, the story involves more familiar animals. For example, the second most important hero of the "Ice Age" is a sloth.

What is the name of the sloth from the "Ice Age"? The creators of the film called the star character Sidney. If we draw an analogy, then Sid for the "Ice Age" is something like the Donkey for "Shrek": awkward and lisping, a bit awkward, it creates almost all the comical situations in the cartoon.

Sid is the generator of ideas. He likes to talk, he does not close his mouth, which irritates everyone around. However, a sloth can not be called very stupid. Rather, direct. Because of his imprudence and slovenliness, the character constantly creates problems for himself and his friends.

Due to the fact that Sida left his relatives, he turned on the obsession to start his own family as soon as possible. This theme is actively developing throughout the animation franchise.

Lenivets from the "Ice Age": photo, role of the character in the plot of the first part

In the "Ice Age-1" begins a massive immigration of animals to the South. All leave in packs, and the slothful Sid his relatives abandoned to the mercy of fate.


Then the restless hero sticks, like a Velcro, to a gloomy single - the mammoth Manny. On the way, the mammoth and sloth are witnesses to the death of a woman who passes her baby to animals for preservation. Since Sid's family is the idea of ​​fix, he takes the fate of the baby to the heart and convinces the mammoth to go in search of the human "pack" to return the baby.

A little later, Tigger Diego joins Cid and Manny. First the lazy sloth irritates his friends. But then to the whims of Sidney all get used to, and he becomes a universal favorite.

The fate of Sid in the "Ice Age-2"

The second part of the franchise begins with the theme of global warming. Manfred, Sidney and Diego go together in search of a ship to save themselves from flooding.


On the way the company meets the new protagonists of the cartoon - Mamontuha Elli and her two "brothers" -opossums. Also, Sid accidentally encounters a whole tribe of his congeners. However, they again cause the comic hero a mental trauma: taking Sid for a deity, a pack of sloths decides to throw it into a boiling lava, thereby sacrificing. Fortunately, Sidney manages to escape.

Despite all the dangers, the company intact and safe gets to the destination.

Funny sloth and "Dawn of the Dinosaurs"

Lenivets from the "Ice Age" in the third issue of the franchise is almost a central character, because he ... adopted three dinosaurs. Having interfered with the idea of ​​creating his family, Sidney did not even think that the dinosaurs have a real mother. Sid's company ends up being rescued by friends from the furious dinosaur.

Cartoon "Continental Drift"

Lenivets from the "Ice Age" continues to be the "engine" of the plot and in the cartoon "Continental Drift".


This time the family takes off on his neck the same restless and annoying Granny, like Sidney himself. By chance, the sloth and his grandmother, as well as Manny and Diego find themselves on a breakaway ice in the midst of the raging waters, and then fall into captivity to pirates. They have to fight Captain Gatt and his team to be able to reunite with their loved ones.

Sid in the "Ice Age-5"

Laziness from the "Ice Age" in the fifth part of the cartoon finally finds his love. However, a cute lazy person, Francine, does not even think of meeting with Sidney because he is ill-bred, unsympathetic and looks untidy. This is a blow for Sid, who in his head has already scrolled the whole life together with Francine.

However, Sidney has no time to mourn: the Earth suddenly collapses meteor Rain,   and then it turns out that the planet is threatened by a giant asteroid. The heroes who fell in love with the audience once again join forces to prevent a catastrophe.

In search of magnets that could help, the Flock wandered into the land of Geotopia. Here Sidney again manages to fall in love, but already in another lazy-broom - Brooke. Brooke joins the Pack and helps them save the Earth from the approaching asteroid. And in the final, Sidney and Brooke are engaged.

In 2019, the screens will be the final cartoon franchise. What traps will the heroes get into the new film - one can only guess. But one thing is certain: Sloth Sidney will remain as ridiculous and restless, because he is a real decoration of the cartoon.
