Ice Age: Continental Drift (also known as Ice Age 4: Continental Drift or simply Ice Age 4) is a 2012 American 3-D computer-animated adventure/comedy film directed by Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, starring the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, Keke Palmer, Chris Wedge, Peter Dinklage, Jennifer Lopez, Wanda Sykes, Drake and Nicki Minaj. It is the fourth installment of the Ice Age series, being produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and the first sequel not to be directed by Carlos Saldanha. It will be the second Ice Age installment that will utilise Digital 3D. It is scheduled to be released in the US on July 13, 2012, three to six years after its predecessors The Meltdown and Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and ten years after the release of the original Ice Age. This will be the first Ice Age film to be shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. As in the previous films, the main protagonists are the mammoth Manny, the sloth Sid, sabre-toothed cat Diego, and, in a parallel storyline, the saber-toothed squirrel Scrat. Scrat's hunt for acorns triggers the break-up of the Pangaea continent into the continents as we know them today. In the meantime, Manny and his wife Ellie deal with their teen-age daughter Peaches who has a crush on Ethan. The breakup of the continent separates Manny from his family. Manny gets stuck on a floating ice raft together with Sid, Diego, and Sid's grandmother Granny. A large moving landmass drives Ellie, Peaches, and a herd of other animals towards a land bridge, where they hope to reunite with Manny. Manny and his friends are captured by a pirate gang led by a giant ape named Gutt, who are sailing the oceans on a large ship-shaped iceberg. They manage to escape, in the process destroying the pirate ship, and again float on the oceans on a small ice raft. They rescue the female pirate saber-toothed cat Shira, who reluctantly joins the group. After the group reaches an island, Shira escapes and rejoins the pirates, who are building a new ice ship elsewhere on the same island. The protagonists overtake the new ice ship and sail away, with the help of a large number of hyraxs, and Shira, who changed her mind after being threatened by Gutt. Gutt quickly turns a new iceberg into a ship, propelled by sharks, and chases Manny's gang. Along the way, the protagonists encounter sirens, depicted as sharp-toothed creatures who take the shape of loved ones and attempt to lure the sailors. Fortunately, Manny realizes this and manages to steer the ship away from the sirens. Gutt and his pirate gang catch up with the protagonists, and are about to capture them. However, Granny's presumed imaginary pet Pookie turns out to be a large sperm whale, who defeats the pirates. Gutt and Manny fight, and Gutt is defeated, and is devoured by a siren. Manny arrives just in time to pick up Ellie and Peaches, who are caught between the moving landmass and the ocean at the location where the land bridge once existed. After sailing over the ocean, they find land where they start a new life. The film ends with a scene where Scrat discovers Atlantis, a floating city filled with other sabre-toothed squirrels and oaknuts. However, Scrat, due to his nut obsession, proves to be the uncivilized of the sabre-toothed squirrels by managing to sink the city to the bottom of the ocean, leaving Scrat in the middle of a newly-created island: the desert.
