Gutt's first mate, a female sabretooth named Shira, joins them after she is rescued after being left for dead by her mates. When Manny refuses, Gutt tries to execute them this leads to their escape, which inadvertently causes the ship and food supplies to sink. Meanwhile, Scrat finds another acorn at the bottom of the ocean, but a broken one that, inside, shows a map to "The Lost City Of Scratlantis" which Scrat sets off for.Īfter extremely violent weather pushes them further away from land, Manny's group is captured by a band of pirates sailing on a floating iceberg led by a Gigantopithecus, Captain Gutt, who attempts to pressure them into joining his crew. At the same time, a giant land shift encroaches on Ellie, Peaches, and those remaining on land, forcing them to make their way towards a land bridge in order to get to safety. Trapped on moving chunks of ice, Sid, Granny, Diego, Manny and Scrat (but without his acorn) have no choice but to ride out the current. Shortly after, a sudden continental break-up (caused by Scrat trying to bury his acorn again) separates Manny from The Herd. Manny then catches Peaches hanging out with a group of teenage mammoths he does not approve of, causing a fight between him and Peaches. Meanwhile, Sid's family returns, but only to drop off the elderly Granny before promptly abandoning them both. However, while Ellie supports and accepts her daughter’s desire to explore and meet new people, Manny instead becomes exceedingly overprotective, irritating Peaches and driving a wedge between the two.

Sixteen years after the events of the third film, Manny and Ellie are living happily with their teenage daughter Peaches. A sequel, Ice Age: Collision Course, was released in 2016.
