On DVD
and Digital HD from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in time for spring is
the next colorful adventure from the crazy gang from ICE AGE: The Great
Egg-Scapade.
Manny
(Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary), Sid (John Leguizamo), Ellie (Queen Latifah)
and the rest of the gang are back! Spring is coming and it's time to
celebrate. Of course Manny and Diego think that means sitting in front of the
cave TV. window watching their favorite games instead of helping Ellie
gather eggs to dye.
Meanwhile
Sid has another Sid-idea and tells Manny and Diego he is opening up an egg
sitting service. Being a sloth just lying around is something Sid can
relate to and thinks his idea will be a big hit. Reaching out to the other
creatures he actually manages to get a few Moms that need an egg-sitting
break.
While
'sitting' the eggs disappear and the parents are beside themselves. Manny,
Diego and Ellie swing into action and discover a map with a ransom note
demanding a boat in exchange for the eggs. Thinking they can outsmart the
dastardly ex-pirate bunny Squint (Seth Green), they find an ally in bunny
Clint (Blake Anderson) who wants to make things right.
This is
the world's first egg hunt!
Of course
there is absolutely nothing downer to say about the gang. Romano comes in with
everything that is Manny. Still the grumpy protective mammoth of this ice
age motley crew, he always does what's right. He loves his family and friends
so don't let the
complaining
fool you. Leary as Diego has always been the character I have loved watch
coming around. He is a saber with a heart of gold and don't let the
long-tooth sway you otherwise.
Leguizamo
as Sid is...well Sid. He clearly loves his herd and only wants to fit in the
best way possible. Of course that usually leads to chaos in some form but
it doesn't mean he won't have back up from Manny and Diego. It's good to know
who your true friends are.
Latifah
as Ellie is the motherly matriarch of the herd and is making sure that holiday
celebrations are big, colorful and include everyone. When the eggs go
missing, Ellie gets a mindset that is purely parental and I relate to her and
all the hilarity that follows.
Green as
Squint gets a chance to be the bad-bunny of the story. Still upset about what
happened to Captain Gutt and the boat, he wants a new boat and his old
life back. Anderson
as Clint knows his hare-brained brother and the idea to steal the eggs isn't
cool. Not about to let things get out of hand, he helps the group but not
before trouble slows everything down.
Other
cast include Keke Palmer as Peaches, Seann W. Scott as Crash, Josh Peck as
Eddie, Lili Estefan as Gladys Glypto, Wendy Williams as Condor Mom, Gabriel
Iglesias as Cholly Bear, Taraji P. Henson as Ethel and Chris Wedge as Scrat.
