There isn’t an animated franchise that derails from the original film as much as Ice Age, the original feels so out of place with the whole franchise
Just because the sequels were absolute dogshit doesn't make the first movie good. You just have a hyperfixation on prehistoric wildlife and enough autism to want to see them go on adventures instead of just watching a documentary. The Ice Age movies were always shit.

>>156140183The shift from the first to the second movie wasn't that bad, or from the second to the third, although from first to third there is, but they are at least somewhat consistent, its by Continental Drift that the franchise loses its grip.I wonder what would have happened if Rio got more sequels after 2, because at least 2 is somewhat consistent in its setting with the first one, and the Blue Sky version of Rio 3 that was at one point in pre-pre production had basic concept art for what could probably happen in the movie and it was still relatively consistent with Rio 1 & 2.
>>156140183The first movie really is a whole other world. It openly acknowledges that the baby will grow up to become a hunter who kills animals, yet they still choose to help him cause it's the right thing to do.

>>156140183>>156140489In the original ending, Diego was supposed to die from his injuries. Sid finds another sloth and parts ways with Manny, while Manny migrates south alone, still determined to carry on. was a bittersweet, 'that's life' sort of ending
