Trivia

Initially in production Gutt was designed as a bear, but in the end, Peter DeSève, the film's art director, settled on an ape, due to the ape's flexibility and four hands, which seemed more fitting to have him swinging on the ship's rigging.

Another Wonderful Adventure

When Scrat accidentally provokes a continental cataclysm with storm, Manny is separated from Ellie and Peaches in an iceberg with Diego, Sid and Granny but he promises that he will find a way to return home.

While crossing the ocean, they are captured by the cruel pirate Captain Gutt and his crew. However they escape and Manny plots a plan to steal Captain Gutt's ship and return to his homeland in a dangerous voyage through the sea. But the cruel pirates seek revenge against Manny and his family and friends.

"Ice Age: Continental Drift" is another wonderful adventure of Manny, Diego and Sid and their family and friends. I love this franchise that support the funny plots in positive values such as love, family, friendship and loyalty that seem to be forgotten in the present days of worldwide intolerance, selfishness and corruption. My vote is eight.
