Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs also known as Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs or simply Ice Age 3 or Ice Age 3-D: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an upcoming 2009 3D computer animated film to be the third installment of the Ice Age film series. It was announced and approved by Fox president Hutch Parker on January 30, [[2007]. It was reeased as a December 19, 2008 release. But they changed the schedule for a July 1, 2009 release.[1] The film is being produced by Blue Sky Studios and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Plot

Manny (Ray Romano), Sid (John Leguizamo), Diego (Denis Leary), and Scrat (Chris Wedge) encounter the dinosaur population who survived extinction in their tropical paradise, which existed below the thick layers... until now. Meanwhile Crash and Eddie (Seann William Scott and Josh Peck) are up to their usual crazy selves and Ellie (Queen Latifah) is preparing for the birth of her and Manny's first child.

Teaser

The teaser trailer was released with the film Horton Hears a Who!, and features the films' familiar saber-toothed squirrel, Scrat. The trailer reveals that a population of dinosaurs have survived extinction, living beneath thick layers of ice in a tropical habitat, and are released when the ice thaws. The trailer first appeared on the official website in May 2008, 14 months before the film's release in theaters.

First Trailer

The trailer (same as the teaser mentioned above) opens amidst a blizzard. Scrat is trying to get through it, when he notices his acorn. During his struggles to reach it, he is engulfed in snow and frozen. He manages to pop open his eyes, using them to lean himself toward the acorn. He successfully pulls it out, releasing warm gases from beneath the ice, which thaws Scrat. Feeling around with his foot, he discovers he has made a large hole in the ice, and falls through. After hitting a few trees, he slides down to the tip of a scaly back and tail, losing his acorn. He slides down to the tip of the tail as it rises, coming face to face with a Tyrannosaurus rex. The end of the trailer shows the Tyrannosaurus rex roaring at Scrat and cuts to the inside of the dinosaur's mouth, where Scrat is seen, his eyes twitching before the Tyrannosaurus rex's mouth snaps shut. This trailer was seen with the movie Horton Hears a Who!.

Second Trailer

The second trailer opens on a snowy scene as Scrat delightedly spies his acorn at the top of a nearby cliff. Scrat scrambles up a vine and then up the cliff, but once he gets to the top, the acorn is gone! He peeks from behind a tree to see, as the strains of Lou Rawls's "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" swell in the background, an astonishing vision. Surprise and growing interest conflict within him as he regards a fetching red female saber-toothed squirrel with long fluttery eyelashes and a flirtatious manner (officially known as Scratte). Scrat gets in touch with his priorities, however, and sneaks up to the acorn, but Scratte is no fool and they both grab the acorn. Surprised, Scrat jerks the acorn away from Scratte and starts to stalk off, but stops when he hears quiet whimpering - Scratte is crying. He turns around and offers the acorn to Scratte. She takes it, but Scrat doesn't let go. He wants her to have the acorn, but he also wants it himself.

Scratte and Scrat each start tugging at the acorn, when Scratte suddenly loses her grasp and flies off the cliff. Scrat bravely dives off of the cliff to save her! He reaches her in midair, and holds out the acorn like a life-ring. They both grasp opposite sides of the acorn and you see them from above as if they were skydivers. Suddenly, Scratte, who reveals herself to be a flying squirrel, winks slyly at poor Scrat, opens her "wings" and glides! She is holding the acorn, and poor Scrat continues to fall, bereft. He tries to stretch his skin into wings, but cannot. He falls down into the depths below instead while Scratte flits off in the distance with the acorn. Scrat falls into the chasm, a la Wile E. Coyote, with the waves from his impact forming not a ring, but a heart. This trailer was seen with the movie Bolt and with the movie Coraline.
