Ice
Age Is Coming
|
| Twenty
thousand years ago, the Earth was being overrun by glaciers, and creatures
everywhere were fleeing the onslaught of the new Ice Age. In this
time of peril, we meet the weirdest herd of any Age: a fast talking
but dim sloth named Sid; a moody woolly mammoth named Manny; a devilish
saber- toothed tiger named Diego; and an acorn-crazy saber-toothed
squirrel known as Scrat. This quartet of misfits unexpectedly, and
reluctantly, comes together in a quest to return a human infant to
his father. Braving boiling lava pits, treacherous ice caves, freezing
temperatures and a secret, evil plot, these "sub-zeros" become the
world's first heroes! |

 THE
POWER OF ONEScat's
one mission in life - to retrieve a precious acorn - triggers the
ICE AGE. The film takes a humorous look at how one individual can
change the world forever.

I
simply believe that there is a mystery of the ordinary, that the
commonplace is full of wonder, and that this life... is different
from what we think it is. It is infinitely more subtle, more powerful,
more dangerous, more magnificent, more exciting, more humorous,
more delicious, more adventurous, more involved, and more troublesome
than most of us think. -TIM HANSEL

 LIFE
FROM DEATH
Pursued by vicious enemies, a loving mother sacrifices her life
for the life of her child.
|
|
If
I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
-EMILY ELIZABETH DICKINSON (1830–1886)
When the Dragon saw he'd been thrown to earth, he went after the
Woman who had given birth to the Man-Child. The Woman was given
wings of a great eagle to fly to a place in the desert to be kept
in safety and comfort for a time and times and half a time, safe
and sound from the Serpent. The Serpent vomited a river of water
to swamp and drown her, but earth came to her help, swallowing the
water the Dragon spewed from its mouth. Helpless with rage, the
Dragon raged at the Woman, then went off to make war with the rest
of her children.... - Rev. 12:13-17 -Message

A
HOSTILE AND ALIENATED WORLD
|
|
|
 The
child comes into a world of enemies and furnishes the common ground
on which reconciliation can occur.For
a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government
will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. -Isaiah
9:6 -NLT
|
|
Life
is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the principle of evil,
hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way is disputed. The
night is given us to take breath and to pray, to drink deep at the
fountain of power. The day, to use the strength that has been given
us, to go forth to work with it till the evening.
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (1820–1910)

THE
REDEMPTION OF THE ENEMY
|
|
 THE
ENEMY
Diego is a determined and vicious enemy. He has plotted to kidnap
and kill the child, and feed Manford to his saber tooth pack. He
poses as a friend to accomplish his sinister plan.
|
What
can wound more deeply than a false friend?
-SOPHOCLES (C. 496–406 B.C.)
Never cease loving a person and never give up hope for him, for
even the Prodigal Son who had fallen most low could still be saved.
The bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again
be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle again.
-SØREN AABYE KIERKEGAARD (1813–1855)
|
 IN
NEED OF SALVATION
From time to time the need for salvation becomes apparent. In Diego's
case it happens when he realizes that he is hopelessly separated
from his friends. He attempts to save himself by taking a leap of
faith. |
 THE
NEED TO ESCAPE HELL.
His efforts are not enough and he can not save himself.
I
have one foot in heaven and one foot on earth, and the foot on
earth is on a banana peel.
-MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE (1903–1990)
|
 BRIDGING
THE GAP.
Manford the Mammoth, at the risk of his own life, reaches out
and saves his enemy.
I
remember two things: that I am a great sinner and that Christ
is a great Savior.
-JOHN NEWTON (1725–1807)
|
Our salvation, thank God, depends much more on his love of us
than on our love of him.
-FATHER ANDREW
|
 SALVATION
BRINGS FRIENDSHIP.
The enemy is transformed into a friend. Diego gives up his evil
plots and becomes a committed member of his new pack.
Sin
separates, pain isolates, but salvation and comfort unite.
-JULIAN OF NORWICH (C. 1342–AFTER 1413)
|
Just
as a planet rushing through space is only a comet on its way to
destruction until it is caught by some central sun and begins
to revolve around that sun as its center and its life; so my life
is an aimless comet burning itself out in its own self-will, till
it finds the pull and attractive of Christ’s love, halts
its deadly way, and forever revolves around him, its central sun
and life.
-E. STANLEY JONES (1884–1973)
|
|
THE
TRANSFORMING POWER OF FRIENDS (COMMUNITY)
|
|
|
|
Wherever
you are, it is your friends who make your world.
-WILLIAM JAMES (1842–1910)
The fingers of God touch your life when you touch a friend.
-MARY DAWN HUGHES
A real friend is one who helps us to think our noblest thoughts,
put forth our best efforts, and to be our best selves.

A
wonderful movie!!!... and it's animated!!!
Subject: Ice_Age
Date: Mon, 01 Apr 2002
From: Gary A. Valenzuela
I was so delighted
with the movie. It has fun, it has characters that evolved from the
beginning to the end of the movie (except for Scat's obsession).
It's nice to see
from time to time, a movie that points to the true nature of friendship.
And I'm glad to know that the evil can be conquered by the good. without
sounding too preachy.
A great movie for
all ages!

We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one
else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even
if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers that we ever existed."
