Crash and Eddie are basically told they can’t survive without support, and the only thing they’re good at is playing dead. After an avalanche they accidentally cause that wrecks the gang’s camp they laugh off, it’s noted by the team the two of them are dependent on the others. Possums Crash and Eddie are never going to change. The team (remaining) consists of Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie and Crash and Eddie, all of them with new voice actors who admittedly sound the same as their old ones. Never mind how much time has passed between the last Ice Age movies.
But now I want to rewatch the rest of the movies and cleanse my eyes and memories, because I am sorry to say the probably final Ice Age movie is so painfully bad it gives me misery at the thought of what some children’s entertainment has gotten to. I thought the fourth was okay when I saw it at a friend’s house but didn’t have much interest in Collision Course. But I was the perfect age for the third film, which I really enjoyed seeing in theatres. I was never a humungous fan of the Ice Age franchise, primarily because I was too young when the first two movies were released and the villains all had terrifyingly sharp teeth.
But even if I can forgive the filmmakers for having to exclude him and his series-defining acorn adventures, this movie still makes the tragedy of Blue Sky studios going bankrupt from COVID-19 complications really feel like we lost a treasured studio. So, the reason Scrat, the beloved prehistoric rodent always hurting himself to get his somehow-irreplaceable treasure is not in this “Ice Age” movie is not from an executive decision but a lawsuit over who seemingly created the actual character. Honestly, why couldn’t they have just listened to fans and reunited with the baby all grown up? Were the negative reviews of the last instalment not hinting enough they were going down the wrong path?
