Ice Age: The Meltdown is a movie about a squirrel named Scrat, a sloth named Sid, a mammoth named Manny, a sabertooth tiger named Diego, and the Missoula floods. The animals have to make a mass migration to the boat at the end of the valley, because of the floods. First, the movie opens in a happy setting at the end of the last Ice Age, about 15,000 years ago. (So of course there are prehistoric animals!) Next, all the animals are playing with Sid the sloth, and he feels disrespected, so he tries to go down the Eviserator, a waterslide. Then, when Manny and Diego try to stop Sid, he pushes them both down the slide. Okay: moving on to the story of the squirrel. Scrat is a squirrel that is obsessed with one acorn. He is so obsessed that he follows the acorn through a hawk’s nest, an ice floe, and a cavernous crack that he made. I will let you find out the rest. I liked this movie because it is funny and that it has connections to the real world. Here is a link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfESEXIZ_lw

If you go past the candy cane forest and travel through the swirly-twirly gumdrops, you find not all elves are the same. Buddy the elf was born with the Hobbs family, but only the mother knew she had him. She had not told the father. She put Buddy up for adoption. On Christmas day, Santa came to the orphanage and as a baby, Buddy crawled into Santa’s sack while he was eating cookies and ended up in the North Pole! Years and years later he is working at Santa’s shop with the other elves but is working in the “special elves” department, seeing if the toys work.

After hearing the elves talking about him behind his back, he realizes he will never fit in, but when papa elf tells him about his dad in New York for the first time and how his mother died, along with figuring out his dad is on the naughty list, he runs away to New York. To hoping across streets to world's best coffee, this classic will always make you laugh no matter how many times you have watched this. This is definitely a must watch!
