Manny, Sid, Diego and Ellie are back for more pre-hysterical hijinks when Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs stomps onto Three-Disc Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack October 27 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The third film in the outrageously popular Ice Age franchise, the sub-zero heroes return another wild and fun adventure. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while maybe finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna, run amuck, and meet a relentless, one-eyed dino-hunting weasel named Buck.
My husband and son saw Ice Age 3 together in the theater, and although there were a few ‘scary’ parts with the dinosaurs according to my son, he was eager to tell me all about it when they got home (and for days after…) When he found out we received an advance copy on DVD to watch last week, he thought mommy hung the stars (it’s the little things that make you go awwweee). We settled in to watch as a family, and my son made sure to warn his little sister in advance when the dinosaurs were going to roar. However, I’m happy to say there were much more giggles than peeking little eyes.
I think Scrat is just the cutest little guy – we’ve all been Scrat at one time or another, chasing after the illusive prize we just can’t seem to get our hands on. Both the Blu-ray version and the Double DVD Scrat Pack have plenty of extra features, mostly focusing on the adorable Scrat. Fans of Scrat, in my opinion, will probably like the 2 disc DVD version better:
