Bringing a sci-fi aspect, as well as a scientific one to the fifth installment in the animated series, Ice Age: Collision Course (20th Century Fox) -- in 3D -- attempts to explain the source of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. In other words, creationists are going to hate this movie.
Pinning the problem on prehistoric squirrel Scrat and his acorn obsession, which somehow leads him to a flying saucer and into outer space; flaming meteors aren't the only things colliding in Ice Age: Collision Course. Woolly mammoth Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) is displeased with daughter Peaches' (voiced by Keke Palmer) choice of a mate, the goofy but loveable Julian (voiced by Adam Devine). Additionally, Manny's wife Ellie (voiced by Queen Latifah) isn't backing him up in the matter.
As the massive meteor shower begins and it appears the end is near, a wisecracking eye-patch-wearing weasel named Buck (voiced by Simon Pegg) appears to save the day. A wise-guide (get it?), Buck, who uses a variety of techniques to keep the attention of his charges, such as drag, has a gift for getting the gang out of tight spaces. Along for the trek (and returning from earlier Ice Age flicks) are Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), his granny (voiced by lesbian comic Wanda Sykes) and Diego (voiced by Denis Leary), among others. Love is also in the air for Diego, who is paired up with Shira (voiced by Jennifer Lopez) and Sid, who meets the hippy-dippy Brooke (voiced by Jessie J), on the journey.
Ice Age: Collision Course features both recurring (Crash and Eddie voiced by Sean William Scott and Josh Peck, respectively) and new (Shangri Llama voiced by out actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson) characters. Additionally, the presence of Neil deBuck Weasel (voiced by Neil deGrasse Tyson) also gives the movie an educational component (for everyone but the aforementioned creationists).
