#SLOTH ICE AGE SERIES#
The Series Mascot Scrat was a fictional species at the time the movies were released, but an uncannily similar species, Cronopio, was discovered since then - which lived in the Cretaceous period, over 90 million years before the ice ages interestingly enough, another saber-toothed squirrel appears and becomes Scrat's love interest in the third film-the same one with the other dinosaurs-and is "appropriately" placed in the subterranean Lost World with the dinosaurs. The movies also feature Mesozoic reptiles, but their presence is acknowledged as anachronistic: there are sea reptiles that were frozen for millions of years, and dinosaurs that live in an underground Lost World. This includes brontotheres, Moeritherium, Platybelodon, Chalicotherium, Gastornis, and Hesperornis. Anachronistic Animal: The franchise features a number of relatively obscure prehistoric mammals and birds that were long extinct by the ice ages.What about the characters celebrating both Christmas and Easter in the Ice Age, despite the fact that they are supposedly living before Christ when neither holidays existed.Also, Pangaea? In the Ice Age?! Or Stonehenge, for that matter.The fourth film lampshades it, with Sid outright stating near the start that their fight against dinosaurs from the third film made no sense whatsoever.
