Supposed fourth film
I removed the section that said there was a fourth film on the works, there have only been rumors of this in the net on non-reliable sources like Aintitcool, only when FOX announces a fourth film and it appears on IMDb or Comingsoon.net we should have a fourth film listed. --201.173.220.73 (talk) 21:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from 71.97.190.192, 26 July 2010
There is a few characters that are coming in for Continental Drift that aren't listed at the table that I believe should be added on. They are stated on the same source as Peahces and Scratte. I'll place the example of the correct template and the code below.

Note: Egbert, Yoko and Shelly are the three young t-rex from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, aparently they are appearing back for Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Also should the short films be added to the table or should they go on a second one? Cause I could make the table for anyone who thinks thats a good idea?

I said the same source as Jennette McCurdy coming in to Ice Age 4, the imdb page.--71.97.190.192 (talk) 20:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 71.97.190.192, 24 August 2010
I noticed a few errors in the character template. Jennette McCurdy needs to be added on the Peaches column where the "?" is.

Also, Avril Lavigne is on all three baby dinos, when she only needs to be by Shelly, and Carlos Saldahna needs to be removed from the Shelly column. I'll give a code to make it easier for editors.

I've removed minor characters and characters only in one movie to make it more easy to recognize the main ones or atleast recurring.

Here's the code:

I've provided sources for Peaches' and Shelly's voice in Ice Age 4.

 * Scrat's Continental Crack-Up 1 and 2 are not original shorts, but they are two short segments from the fourth Ice Age film.

Reception
Shouldn't we talk about the ratings of the Ice Age films? Like: The first Ice Age received a 77% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 reviews on Metacritic. Unfortunately, its follow-ups did not do any good as the original. The Meltdown, Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Continental Drift and Collision Course received 57%, 45%, 37% and 15%, respective "Rotten" ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and 58, 50, 49 and 34 respective reviews on Metacritic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:CDC7:4C00:85B9:9B09:20A1:EF51 (talk) 08:51, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Splitting Ice Age video games
There are a lot of Ice Age video games out there, so are you going to split this article? Longplay Watcher (talk) 08:33, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This article includes a list of about 20 video games. That's not so many. Each listing does not include much detail at all. Only a few have any references.
 * If you could expand the list (30? 50? more?) and include much more detail (metacritic scores and other information for every game?) then the case for splitting off into a separate list article would be more obvious. A split is unlikely to happen unless someone can show there is potential for the standalone article to expand and is volunteering to do the work. -- 109.79.167.172 (talk) 14:46, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not on a deadline. Silence is not a consensus. WP:INFOBOX clearly says "Avoid links to sections within the article; the table of contents provides that function." I'm merely asking that the guidelines be followed, the WP:STATUSQUO restored. If editors want to ignore the guidelines they should establish local consensus and make their case. Of all the things to list in the Infobox of a film franchise the films themselves would seem to be the most essential items to include. -- 109.79.176.100 (talk) 16:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The lack of response to my earlier request (and me being in no rush to file a formal edit request using the template) does not indicate anything other than the fact that is article doesn't get much attention at all.

 * Editors seem to either not know or deliberately ignore the WP:INFOBOX guidelines but the burden should be on them to gain consensus if they want to ignore such reasonable guidelines. TLDR: The films of the franchise should be listed in the Infobox. -- 109.78.199.198 (talk) 00:54, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

 * No. It's more of a stand-alone sequel. Maybe. I mean, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Ellie are in the movie, but as supporting characters. ZX2006XZ (talk) 20:14, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Edit request
The second mention of Simon Pegg in the 'Cast' section does not have an embedded Wikipedia link to his Wikipedia page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neodoestuff (talk • contribs) 19:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Some editors have different opinions about duplicate links WP:DL and how many times the same person should be linked in the same article but I think most editors would think it is enough to link Simon Pegg only once in the Cast table, and not to link his name again in the very same row. -- 109.79.172.124 (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Ice Age No Time For Nuts 4D
This is an experience like Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs The 4D Experience but longer as the OG short film making it an extended version I would assume. And I wanted to ask if we should add it here? (the same with Ice Age 3 4D Expierence in a section called ==4D experiences== or something like that) and add it to the cast table Derjenigederzukunftseht (talk) 09:26, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
