Continuity mistake: When Sid is relaxing in the 'goo' and has it splattered on his face (no-one knows what it is), he wipes his face off with Manny's trunk, none disappearing. In the next shot, the 'goo' has completely disappeared from Sid and the baby.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, where Manny returned the baby, and received the talisman from the human, it was hung from Manny's tusk. As they meet Diego and walk away, the talisman isn't there anymore.
Continuity mistake: When the squirrel gets stuck between the 2 glaciers he gets stuck at the bottom of them, but then it shows him getting fired out of the top of them. (00:02:49)
Suggested correction: Scrat may have got sucked up to the top.
Or squeezed all the way up and spat out. Either way Scrat is a much cartoonier character than the others and more extreme things happen to him.
Trivia: Chris Wedge, the director of Ice Age, voiced one of the Dodos and also Scrat the little squirrel at the beginning of the movie.
Question: The end of the movie shows Scrat and his acorn frozen in and eventually thawed from a block of ice 20,000 years later. How did he come back for the sequels?
Answer: The sequels take place before he was frozen.
That's not true. If the movies made later were prequels, how would the characters all already know each other?
Good Lord, people are overthinking this, hahaha. It's a silly animated movie series primarily aimed at children. It's OK if the Scrat character doesn't have super-concise continuity. It'd be like getting upset over the Looney Tunes not having strict continuity.
That one scene is set much later than the other films. The sequels aren't prequels.
