Trivia:
Despite the Dodo's less than brilliant survival instincts, they outlived all of the major character's species. Dodos were wiped out around the mid to late 17th century, whilst woolly mammoths (Manny) died out 10,000 years ago (a dwarf race existed until 1700 BC), ground sloths (Sid) are widely accepted to have become extinct some 2500 BC (although it has been proposed a small group survived till 1550 AD), and saber tooth tigers (Diego) were wiped out around 10,000 BC. Only humans like Roshan and his father survived the Dodo.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When Scrat's coconut falls from the tree, it has already had its husk removed. (The directors confirm this on the DVD commentary. They may have been worried that a lot of their audience would not recognize a coconut with its husk on.)

Freaky Mammal: Because... of all the ice.
Freaky Mammal: Well, things just got a little chillier.

With a relatively small budget for an animated film of only $60 million the people at Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios have done an incredible job.
They have combined state-of-the-art digital animation, the perfectly cast voice talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Dennis Leary (among many others) to create a highly entertaining, family film with a strong message about cooperation, friendship and caring for your fellow herd members. And how sometimes it takes many different creatures to make up a herd.
While watching this film I got a strong political message about getting along with the people that share your space -- maybe it should be required viewing for all world leaders!
David Newman -- yet another member of the Newman family of Hollywood composers -- provides a superb score that is not intrusive yet serves to move the action along and, at times, is positively toe tapping.
The overall look of the film is incredible; an intensely coloured, strangely believable fantasyland of snow, geysers, mud, rocks and ice. The individual characters were delightfully believable too, with the facial expressions of Ray Romano's Manfred' being a particular treat.
The entire sequence with the DoDos will leave no doubt as to where the expression `Dumb as a DoDo comes from.'
This is a good family film that keeps the things that could alarm or frighten children pretty much sanitized -- but real nonetheless.
It would be a great movie to see in the theater and to buy for home.
