hi! day 2 back from my tumblr dot com hiatus and I watched ice age for the first time in ten years.

if you don't know what ice age is, it is about a mammoth, a sloth, and a saber tooth tiger going the opposite direction of migration (so like north, where it is cold and ice) to return their beloved baby to his "herd" (his tribe). obviously all taking place during the ice age.

overall, the movie was... ok, I guess. the animation? absolutely horrendous. but pretty ahead of it's time. the story? WHY DO I LIKE IT THIS MUCH.

(the jokes were RLLY cheesy tho)

ok onto the post. I am not sorry

here is all of the homoromantic undertones that I gathered in the 2002 animated movie 'ice age'

• ok, so in the beginning there is literally 2 male rhinos who share a salad together and one saves the dandelion for the other. they r practically background characters but CLEARLY husbands

• sid: "you have beautiful eyes :)"

manfred: "get off of me >:("

• sid calling manfred 'manny' affectionately

• they find the baby and immediately have this sort of. yknow. married couple energy

• diego makes this known by saying, and I LITERALLY quote, "'Us'? You two are a bit of an odd couple." and then when manfred says that 'there is no us' he says, "I see. can't have one of your own, so you want to adopt." (diego says gay rights)

• (immediately after diego says this, manfred and sid go on to argue like a married couple.)

• now they r all together!! baby starts crying. sid has to be responsible to shut it up like the male-wife he is.

• they ALL take turns trying to cheer the baby up

• (LITERALLY ACTING LIKE NEWLY WEDS WITH A NEWBORN, I KID YOU NOT)

• "his nose is dry, that means something's wrong." "he's wearing one of those baby thingjes" "so?" "if he poops, where does it go?" ".......humans are disgusting." "I bet he's hungry. how about some milk?" "I'd love some" "NOT YOU. the baby."

• they all, as a team, fight a whole troop of dodos to get food for their baby

• sid: "how about a good-night kiss, for your big buddy sid?"

manfred: "he (the baby)'s asleep."

sid: "I was talking to you."

manfred:

• sid shows off their beloved baby to some lady sloths

• manfred does not like this.

• diego practically saves sid's life by pretending that he killed him (and has this look of nervousness/concern when it almost doesn't work)

• CUE THE ENTIRE MONTAGE OF THE FAMILY TRAVELLING

• yknow that thing in movies where the wife is like "we're lost ask the guy for directions" and the husband denies it? this literally happens between manfred and sid.

• they play charades with a squirrel. diego flicks him into the sun to Burn.

• cue the iconic slide scene that lasts for like idk two or three minutes straight. diego breaks character and gets pumped up. manfred and sid stare at him like "dude we almost lost our kid r u nuts"

• manfred has this. revelation after realizing that he has been missing a family in his life and comes to terms with the fact that, oh my god, I need to get this baby back home.

• he immediately becomes SUCH a dad after that

• Manfred saves Diego's life and diego is like. oh my god. I love these guys. and this whole time he has been leading them into a trap to kill them

• manfred almost dies. diego RLLY feels shitty after that

• sid creates fire. "from now on, you can refer to me as Sid, Lord of the Flame. from now on I will call you Diego,"

diego: "lord of touch me and you're dead."

diego: ".....NAH I'm just kidding you little knucklehead <3"

• manfred calls diego and sid lovebirds.

• baby takes his first steps, and they all share this tender, loving look between one another :))

• "look at that, our little guy is growing up."

• once manfred goes to sleep, sid and diego gush over him. "I've never had a friend who would risk his life for me." "yeah, manny's a good guy :)"

• then comes the part where diego leads them into the trap and he feels awful and nervous about it.

• manfred gets angry. >:(( but diego feels rlly bad and wants to save them :((

• the other saber tooths come. sid tricks them into thinking he is holding the baby. and when they find out he isn't, he runs away.

• he goes to where the baby actually is. gentle little sid moment..

• manfred gets cornered by diego and the leader of the tigers. diego turns on his leader to save his husband.

• diego risks his life like how manfred risked his. almost dies. he tells sid and manfred to leave him and get the baby to his family :((

• "we were some team, huh?"

• diego to the baby: "you gotta be strong. you have to take care of manfred and sid. especially sid."

• manfred and sid take the baby home. tender moment. sid and manfred are both sad to see him go :((

• "don't forget about us, ok? we won't forget about you."

• SURPRISE diego ends up living!! sid runs to him, relieved.

• "you're ok!"

"nine lives, baby"

"you're ok. I could kiss ya!"

• (if I remember correctly, sid does kiss diego's head multiple times)

• manfred asks diego if he needs to hitch a ride. ends up giving sid a ride instead.

• ends the movie with something about sid saying that it will be the best migration ever and then something about global warming idk!
