About Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (also known as Ice Age: 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs) is a 2009 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Carlos Saldanha and written by Michael Berg, Peter Ackerman, Mike Reiss, and Yoni Brenner. Produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, it is the third installment in the Ice Age film series, following Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006). Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Josh Peck, Seann William Scott and Queen Latifah reprise their roles from the previous two films, with Simon Pegg joining the cast. In the film, while Manny and Ellie are preparing for their baby, Sid the Sloth is kidnapped by a female Tyrannosaurus after stealing her eggs, leading the rest of the herd to rescue him in a tropical lost world inhabited by dinosaurs underneath the ice. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was released on July 1, 2009, by 20th Century Fox, and initially received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its animation but criticism for the story. Despite this, many retrospective reviews have now seen Dawn of the Dinosaurs as the best sequel in the franchise, and the film grossed $886.7 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film and the highest-grossing animated film of 2009. It was followed by two further sequels, Ice Age: Continental Drift on July 13, 2012, and Ice Age: Collision Course on July 22, 2016.
