A Fourth ICE AGE Film Is Already Titled, Quietly Underway, And Is A Departure From The Others??

SCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Hint_of_Smegma	Jun 9th, 2009 10:01:46 AM
Make an entire movie about Scrat. My cat fucking loves it when he's onscreen - Robert Mitchum was right in Scrooged, people - cat's want quality programming too.
Oh, and FIRST you fucks. by Hint_of_Smegma	Jun 9th, 2009 10:02:17 AM

When you're talking about kids movies by Jor-El23	Jun 9th, 2009 10:05:35 AM
There is no such thing as a complete disaster...not in this situation. Little kids love the characters, they could care less where those characters are. Modern times, pre-historic times...you could set the movie during the Spanish Inquisition as long as it had the characters that the little kids already loved going in.
It's Ice Age meets Madagascar by chrth	Jun 9th, 2009 10:08:07 AM
oooh, oooh, anyone else want to see an Ice Age/Night at the Museum crossover?!?
Or how about an Ice Age/Day After Tomorrow crossover? by chrth	Jun 9th, 2009 10:09:03 AM

Ice Age was an ok, fun movie by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 9th, 2009 10:09:59 AM

He's the funniest thing about these movies.
NO! This is not Star Drek news! by Trannyformers_Apologist	Jun 9th, 2009 10:14:10 AM
I demand more jj abrams cock sucking or maybe some more news about how Michael Gay took a dumb and it was smelly. ALL PRAISE jj abrams micheal gay and their fagot writers!!!! For they are the greatest directors and writers hollywood has ever seen. All further news should be dedicated to their greatness.

Ennh, they'll just travel back to the Ice Age at the end by SpyGuy	Jun 9th, 2009 10:31:07 AM
But in doing so, Scrat Prime alters the past and creates an alternate Ice Age reality where Scrat is now being played by Zachary Quinto.
Sounds like a rip off of ... by harrys_site_sucks	Jun 9th, 2009 10:49:07 AM

What a stupid title. by D.Vader	Jun 9th, 2009 10:49:31 AM
The number "4" doesn't fit in the word "Thaw" at all. Unless they draw the four in a funky way to look like a strange lower-case "a" I suppose.
Wooly Mammoth escapes by bagwanbob	Jun 9th, 2009 10:51:49 AM
after getting revived. Hears Kirsten Dunst singing and mistakes it for a mating call. Goes on a testosterone driven rampage through New York. Kraven decides to hang the beast's head over the fireplace in his living room. Enter Spiderman. All manners of madcap shennanigans follow.

Ever notice that the number 4 has two vertical pointy lines and a horizontal bar, kinda like the capital letter A?
I'm About Bored with Ice Age by kevinwillis.net	Jun 9th, 2009 11:00:59 AM
Will not see another one, unless dragged. May rent the DVD. Rented the last one, no body ever really watched it. Madagascar gets watched. Has those penguins, and the lemurs.
I'd Like To See the Ice Age Characters by kevinwillis.net	Jun 9th, 2009 11:03:28 AM
Magically transported to King Arthur's court. Or have Manny run into Ray Romano on the streets of New York, and inform him that he will have no career after Everybody Loves Raymond. And then Ray says, "Well, I'll just have to console myself by crying into the giant buckets of cash that I keep at my money warehouse."
Wow...totally cool idea!!!! by FeralAngel	Jun 9th, 2009 11:10:46 AM
This development reminds me of the 2nd Toy Story film, which took an interesting turn by delving into Woody the Cowboy's celebrated past and made use of the sometime-hilarious obsessions the collectors of minutiae sometimes display. It was a brilliant sequel because it wasn't just a total rehash of what had gone before. This 4th Ice Age installment sounds similarly creative. I think it could rock to see Manny and the gang cope with a post-prehistoric world, so I'm gonna keep my eye on any reports of future developments. Never thought I'd care about an Ice Age sequel...the second one was pretty bad...

The only way this would be a departure from the previous films.. by RenoNevada2000	Jun 9th, 2009 11:28:06 AM

"Ice Age: Th4w" by Flummage	Jun 9th, 2009 11:30:18 AM
Sounds like a little like he read the story of the perfectly-preserved frozen wooly mammoth, coupled with the Ice Age 3 marketing brewing, thought of the title of what WOULD make a hi-lariious fourth parody title of an Ice Age sequel, then sent it in to AICN. I don't blame him -- I'm just jealous. I mean th4w. TH4W. Material that good doesn't just flop out your noggin on a bi-hourly basis now, does it.
They had better honor canon dammit!! by DoctorWho?	Jun 9th, 2009 11:33:10 AM
A storied franchise if there ever was one!
onusbone by brokentusk	Jun 9th, 2009 11:33:29 AM
Saw the trailer in front of TERMINATOR (because the crowd going to see the movie about robots trying to wipe out humanity in a post-apocalyptic environment is the same crowd that's dying to see the animated adventures of a group of animals) and it seems they find a sort of "lost world" still inhabited by dinosaurs. I'm not going to see it, but now you know - and knowing is half the battle.

Folks who lisp are going to have a rough time of it when they buy a ticket to see the latest installment of "Saw," only to be directed to the wrong screen because their tickets are for "Th4w." They will then vent their anger and frustration by shouting, "Sassafrass!" to comedic effect.
No no, keep 'em coming, so I can edit them down to by white_vader	Jun 9th, 2009 11:57:54 AM
a feature-length Scrat movie. Without all that other lazy-arse shit. The Scrat stuff is like prime Warner Bros amina-mation.
ICE AGE is Blue Sky Studios's SHREK by Mr_Incredible	Jun 9th, 2009 12:19:31 PM
They're going to milk this until the last drop. And none of them will be as good as TOY STORY 1&2 (and possibly 3). Although, this rumored news about Monsters, Inc. 2 being in the works does worry me a bit. I'd rather have Pixar create original stories than make sequels to movies that don't really need a sequel. Monsters, Inc., for example, had a perfect ending.

Everybody wasn't cracking up during that last bit in the Ice Age 3 trailer where Sid tries to milk that yak thing. It may not be a great movie, but the first one was fun and is worth watching for the Scrat scenes.

Reminds me of the end of Ice Age 1 by Baked	Jun 9th, 2009 01:49:56 PM
When Scrat gets frozen in ice and wakes up in the present day. Could they be trying to fit that into continuity? Am I thinking about this too much?
Ice Age movies are great by Rindain	Jun 9th, 2009 02:23:52 PM
I saw Ice Age 3 by the way, and it's the best of the 3. Simon Pegg's character is awesome.
The first Ice Age was well done by terry1978	Jun 9th, 2009 02:28:09 PM
One of Blue Sky's first efforts, the concept of the human baby made it work, along with Diego the anti-hero, who has now been toned down a la Wolverine unfortunately.
Pixar Sequels by kevinwillis.net	Jun 9th, 2009 02:30:47 PM
I'd like to see more. And, we will. But the strength of Toy Story 2 suggested, to me, that Pixar has an entirely different, and extraoridinarily potent, methodology for creating sequel story lines. It built on what was there before, touched on important points without essentially repeating the plot of the original. Since Monsters, Inc. tied up so neatly, I'm atually anxious to see what kind of new, novel story they end up telling in that universe. And I'd love a sequel to The Incredibles.
Ice Age 6: Ewok Babies by kevinwillis.net	Jun 9th, 2009 02:32:03 PM
It'll be a merchandising bonanza. Manny and the gang, through a series of misadventures, end up in space! And they have to fight the aliens!
Not diggin it! by brattyben	Jun 9th, 2009 03:04:22 PM
I could understand the second one in a way, but, to do two more, and then have them in our time, just seems a little too cliche. It'd be like so many other things that have been done. These characters aren't that interesting anymore.
Ice Age 9: SPACE MAMMOTH by COCKNASTY_BUTTSTANK	Jun 9th, 2009 03:14:54 PM

ICE AGE: SWAT VALLEY by AzulTool	Jun 9th, 2009 03:48:17 PM
THAT FUCKING RAY RAMONO MAMMOTH WAKES UP, AND THE TALIBAN DRIVES A TRUCK BOMB RIGHT UP HIS ASS. THE SCREEN IS LITTERED WITH BLOOD, MEAT, AND FUR. THE KIDDIES WILL LOVE IT!
The first Ice Age was really entertaining by Nasty In The Pasty	Jun 9th, 2009 03:54:29 PM
Even beyond the Scrat stuff, it had a warm glow to the sharacter interactions, and the "return the baby to its tribe" MacGuffin gave it a genuine dramatic thrust. Ice Age 2 just upped the Scrat scenes and added a LOT more disgusting body-function jokes (a la Austin Powers 2), and had a less-compelling storyline. Ice Age 3 looks to be more of the same, but that trailer with the Scrat meeting the female squirrell-thingy and falling off the cliff is fucking hilarious.
Ice Age 4: Mammals in Time by generasputinhole	Jun 9th, 2009 04:04:15 PM

Just have the Scrat by drewlicious	Jun 9th, 2009 04:44:57 PM

Good idead ironic_name by Mr. Graboid	Jun 9th, 2009 05:19:45 PM
The first sequel to Ice Age really sucked. There was nothing to it other than milking the audience. I suspect this third movie will be more of the same. Like Shrek, Ice Age has'nt got material or characters that can be stretched into eternity. It simply isnt built of the same cloth as the Pixar movies. That being said, and if this rumour has a bit of truth to it, it would be a fun idea to have then wake up post-humanity. Tragedies travels in circles... They could make all sorts of wisecracks about the leftovers of humanity that they find on their way etc. Hmmm now that I think of it, it could also be a really bad idea... After all its Ice Age. Not Highlander. Maybe they should just stay extinct.
HB_Dad by Baryonyx	Jun 9th, 2009 05:52:21 PM
Scrat thaws out of ice on the shore of a tropical island at the end of part 1 (though it isn't specified that he's actually woken up in the present day.) The short Scrat film that's included on the DVD for part 2 has Scrat discover a time machine and shoot about in time, eventually ending up in the future, where oak trees have died out (so, really, he shouldn't feature in any more movies.)

And then they'll thaw him out and he'll have to deal with a post-Obama world, which means that after destroying the US economy and getting trashed by every nutbar Muslim fascist/Russian dictator in the world, the Dems have been out of power for the past 10,000 years. Hilarity ensues.
