     Cool down with three unwitting pals on a most unusual adventure. When a prehistoric sloth joins forces with an unwilling woolly mammoth, both social outcasts, things seem a little bizarre. But their problems have only just begun. They soon begin a rescue mission to return a human infant to his tribe, whatever the cost. Things seem to heat up when they meet up with a saber-tooth tiger with a gleam in his eye. Be he friend or foe? As they traverse the harsh terrain the weather turns foul and their friendship is tested. A fine blend of sharp animation and clear vocals add quality to this so-so feature that the kids are sure to gobble up.
