Plot hole: In the Ice Tunnel scene, Manny, Sid, and Diego come to a stop on the vertical block of ice. It breaks, and they slide through a 'field' of icicles sticking out of the ground. Their 'sled' is shaved down to nothing, indicating that the icicles are sharp. After going through the same tunnel as the baby, how did the baby make it through that field? (00:46:53)
Ice Age (2002)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha, Chris Wedge
Starring: John Leguizamo, Jack Black, Denis Leary, Cedric the Entertainer, Diedrich Bader, Goran Visnjic, Stephen Root, Ray Romano
Diego stays on Sid and Manny's side. Manny slams Soto into a wall who then is impaled by razor sharp Icicles. Manny and Sid are forced to leave a badly injured Diego behind and bring the baby back to the very grateful humans. As they start to head South, Diego shows up fine, and they all migrate together. Meanwhile, Scrat unfreezes 20,000 years later on a tropical island, loses his acorn and finds a coconut instead. But then he tries to bury it underground and causes a volcano to erupt.

Suggested correction: A possible reason for the sled slowing down is not due to the ice tunnel but the sheer several tons of weight the sled had on it while it was sliding through the tunnel.
Good point. Without the weight, the icicles would had slowed down the sled instead. And since the baby hardly weighs anything at all, it wouldn't have been able to slide through the field, it would've just collided with the front icicles and stayed there. But it still leads back to question of how the baby got through the field.
Not true, their "sled" is destroyed by the icicles.
Question: In the beginning of the scene with the dodos, there is one dodo who shouts "Prepare for the ice age." Does anyone know who he is or what other movies he's been in? His voice is so familiar that I'm sure he's done another cartoon character's voice, but I can't remember who it is.
Answer: There are four people who do the voice for the dodos. They are Peter Ackerman, P.J. Benjamin, Josh Hamilton, and Chris Wedge (who also voiced Scrat and directed the movie). I checked their backgrounds, but I did not see any previous cartoons done by them. Also, of the four, it is possible you have seen Josh Hamilton or heard him before, because he has been in quite a few films, but I am not sure he is the one who voiced the dodo who said prepare for the ice age.
