A wisecracking sloth is saved by a woolly mammoth from a couple of rhinos, then joins him on his trek northward. They pick up a human baby along the way, saving it from an icy death after his mother is attacked by saber-toothed tigers. One of the tigers later joins them, but in reality is leading to an ambush by others in his pack. They have several adventures, eventually learning to trust and like each other. The saber-toothed tiger eventually comes to respect the mammoth and cannot go through with the ambush and helps them fight off the pack. Occasionally lively but mostly predictable kids feature with rudimentary CGI that is really starting to show its age.
