It's so weird that the first Ice Age is about humans and nature co-existing and then we don't see humans again for the rest of the franchise.

Have you ever watched the Ice Age movies? If so, what do you think of them?

I think they are Classics of animation that suffers from gradual franchise fatigue I did watch the later movies and everything however 1 and 2 are the crowning achievements

My whole entire generation can recognize the music of the second film you play those simple piano notes of when Ellie was found and we instantly know where it comes from

These movies gave Blue Sky its footing that unfortunately was lost because they kept running into Disney, DreamWorks, or bad stories

Because you still have legendary films like Robots and Rio that came out of this studio, however, were very underrated for being damn good films because they were going up against Disney

I dare you to sit down with Rio 2 and not cry when Blu comes across the logging operation towards the end.

Or Robots literally raising a generation of Hellraisers that are willing to overthrow the upper class I'm not joking go sit down and watch that film it is literally all about our current situation and standing up against corrupt leaders if anyone wants to blame a film for giving us ideas there you go.

So Ice Age I have a special place in my heart for those films gave all the rest of them a chance

They showed that this studio may be no Disney but they could still put out movies that were on Disney's level unfortunately Disney just had the name brand power over Blue Sky which led to its absorption by Disney and being shut down in 2021.

I have no idea what is going to come next but I've heard rumors of Ice Age being Rebooted. And I don't have a good feeling if they are they will be nothing in comparison to these first movies.

I will say mentioning Rio I really hope at one point in time we get a cameo or something like that if they decide to do a third Rio cuz I think it would be really funny if they brought a certain Three Caballeros into that film franchise.

Reason #48 why children are more sensible than people think: When I was growing up with the Ice Age franchise every time I watched a movie my head would be occupied by thoughts wondering why in every installment the main characters would be in a completely different location and nobody in-universe ever talked about it.

[i-am-trans-gwender]

I will never get over how Blue Sky Studios made 13 movies (14 if you count Nimona) before getting shut down by Disney and 5 of them were fucking Ice Age. Also 20th Century Studios is making an Ice Age 6 because the first 5 apparently made a lot of money even though nobody ever really talks about them. (Kinda like the Jame's Cameron Avatar movies.)

After I finish the skull mini quilts, I'll be cleaning up my sewing room in preparation for panel quilts. November 1st, the commission options will be reduced to pins/magnets, pine tree wallhangings, and rag quilts. December 1st, commissions will be closed until Spring 2025, probably in April or May.

If you want to commission me, now is the time to do it.

The pins I make can serve as "ornaments" on the pine tree wallhangings. The pine trees are perfect for displaying your own pin collection, as well. It's what I use my own for. You can also sew favorite buttons on there for much the same purpose.

Rag quilts are a fun and quick type of quilt I can make on a lower budget because all the quilting is done during the sewing part. They're three layers of fabric, minimal piecing, made using large pieces, and have a good amount of weight to them. If you live in a cold area, or want to get a quilt for someone living in a colder region, three layers of flannel are an excellent option. They can be made with quilting cotton as well, which is heavier than flannel, but costs twice as much. Here's one rag quilt I've made. The reason I don't keep them in stock is due to their bulk and my extreme lack of storage space.

These are the same quilt, flipped over. The exposed edges are why it's called a rag quilt.

Sid the sloth never did get pregnant

HOWEVER

There is a scene in the movie that shows him being motherly. The fire creates shadows and his shadow ends up lining with the shadow of the dinosaur eggs making his shadow look pregnant. The movie emphasizes this by zooming in on the shadow

i see. and you just know this? like this is easily accessible knowledge in your brain? you remember the exact details down to the camera zoom?

Trying to do more Fanart so have a little doodle of everyone’s favourite prehistoric gay rhinos, Frank and Carl from Ice Age!

Here's another reboot of Spider-Man!

Ice Age 6!

Ghostbusters remake that was actually quite funny but nah scrap that that's not Canon anymore here's auhhhhhh

Ghostbusters 3, a sequel show!

Ghostbusters 4! A movie this time, which is not confusing at all!!

Ghostbusters 5, TBA!

Here's 7 Walking Dead spin-offs!

Here's a TV show based on a video game!

Here's another TV show based on another video game based on the books!

Here's another TV show based on the same video game, based on the books! But this one's animated!

Percy Jackson reboot, this time a TV show!

Here's a TV show based on kind of a shitty but kind of cute kid's movie from 2008 based on some kid's books but don't worry we gave it a CW filter so it doesn't look like a kid's show!

Here's a spin-off/prequel to a show that lasted 10 seasons longer than it should have! You know exactly what I'm talking about.

You blinked and we released 13 new Marvel series and 4½ movies directly to Disney+ that were written with AI and used 94% green screen and CGI, not a single person was live on set anywhere, in fact we just had the actors film themselves on their cellphones so we didn't have to hire a camera crew and instead cropped and superimposed their faces onto the CGI bodies.

Here's the American version of a show in its 4th season on the BBC!

Here's a sequel to a movie from 24 years ago!

Here's a sequel to a trilogy that wrapped up nicely in 2003 - wait I kind of liked Matrix Resurrections

More reboots!

More sequels!

More spin-offs!

More prequels!

Sure, many years ago this was mostly original content with maybe a few sequels or other additions to the media's respective cinematic universes, but this is 2024! Who wants original content when we can just feel the relief of seeing a familiar character on screen and squeal with delight upon seeing Globozo Binkop, a character with a single line in the holiday special of a movie from 40 years ago nobody ever really cared about but some Big Studio bought the rights for it bc they think they can make millions off of a single movie with barely structured plot and logic and they will bc that's all there fucking is these days is reboots and sequels and spin-offs and prequels!! And soon we'll see a creative drop in all kinds of media, not just TV and movies but books and video games, comics, etc - actually we already are, just not as severely as TV and movies - because! No! Studio! Is! Willing! To! Fund! Original! Content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not when they know they can rake in money milking the teets of an already-established franchise.

I for one am furious about this and I encourage every creator, whether you just write for fun, or have grand plans to publish your book or have your script played out on the screen, please keep writing your ideas. Don't stop creating. Ever. When we lose our imagination, we lose ourselves.

[ a character I’d consider rping. ] | Always Accepting

Nighttime settled aboard the icy ship, the ocean waves crashing against its hull and rocking it like a mother would their child’s crib. Everyone on board was asleep at the midnight hour. Everyone except for Captain Gutt. He would have been asleep by now if not for a particular sloth slash hostage tied up to one of the masts. He glowers from a nearby perch, letting out a soft growl in annoyance as he takes note of Sid’s sleeping habits. He was snoring, occasionally muttering obnoxious yet incoherent strings of words. One of his three-toed feet even thumped against the deck of the ship a few times, causing even more noise. It was a good thing he was tied up as well, otherwise he would be floundering on deck like a fish fresh out of the water. Maybe it would have served better to have him overboard.

The ape’s shoulders tense when Sid’s occasional noises formed into silence, now watching with malice as he wakes up from his sleep in a startle. Sid blinks a few times, eyes darting around and sensing that he was being watched by something…or someone. The fact that the sloth was uneasy made Gutt somewhat satisfied, yet it simply was not enough; he wanted to give a warning they would remember. Grabbing a nearby bone dagger, Gutt aims before hurling it with swift force, the blade now lodged in the wood just above the poor sloth’s head. Sid shrieks from having a weapon thrown at him, looking around with his heart hammering in his chest as the captain drops down with a heavy thud.

Gutt’s face emerged from shadow, the pale moonlight and reflections from the ice around them casting it in an eerie bluish light. His large, scruffy form loomed over Sid, being at eye-level with the sloth while giving him an observant once-over. Sid meanwhile held his breath, seeing Gutt lean forward a little too close and bear uneven teeth to him while he dislodged the blade from the mast. Gutt shushes Sid before the sloth could say any words in protest, pointing the tip of the sharp bone near his neck.

" Shhhshsh, quiet. No more noise from you aboard my ship tonight, sloth, or I won’t hesitate to throw you overboard. Do you understand? You better, or your days will be numbered... "

The sloth nods in quick succession at the ape's very evident threat, not wanting to cause trouble while aboard this ship. While they technically were being held hostage, it was slightly better than the situation they were in before. Gutt’s smile grows bigger and more menacing, glad that he was wise to follow his orders. Without another word, he slips back into the dark of night as quickly as he appeared, leaving Sid to be left alone with his thoughts.
