All'inizio dell' Era Glaciale, tre creature assolutamente mal assortite si ritrovarono coinvolte per caso in una straordinaria avventura. Sid, un bradipo chiacchierone, Manny, un mammouth triste e malinconico, e Diego, un tigre dai denti a sciabola, si riuniscono anche se contro voglia per per aiutare un bambino a tornare da suo padre.
