Alright, grab your coffee. Let’s talk about Ice Age: Collision Course. You know, the one where a freaking spaceship shows up? I’m still not over that.
The Core Crew: Our Furry Idiots
First up, we have Manny, voiced by the one and only Ray Romano. He’s still the grumpy dad, but now he’s got a daughter who’s getting married. Eye roll? Yep. He’s basically you at a family wedding.
Then there’s Sid, the sloth with zero social awareness. John Leguizamo brings the same squeaky chaos. He falls in love with a geode in this one. A rock. You read that right.

And Diego, the saber-toothed tiger with a heart. Denis Leary still sounds like he’s smoked sandpaper. He’s the cool uncle who secretly cares too much. We love him.
The New Blood: Crash & Eddie (Still Wild)
These two possum brothers are played by Seann William Scott and Josh Peck. They’re back, doing what they do best: absolutely nothing useful. They somehow cause an avalanche while trying to get a nut. Classic.
Peck’s Eddie is the slightly less insane one. Scott’s Crash is pure adrenaline. Together, they’re the reason Manny has gray hair.

The Lovebirds: Peaches & Julian
Manny’s daughter, Peaches, is now voiced by Keke Palmer. She’s grown up, sassy, and madly in love. Her fiancé is Julian, played by Adam DeVine. He’s a dorky, clumsy mammoth with perfect teeth. It’s like watching a golden retriever try to propose.
Their wedding plot is the whole reason this disaster happens. Thanks for that, lovebirds. Manny hates him, but we all know Julian is a sweetheart.
The Villain: Who Even Is The Bad Guy?
Okay, here’s where it gets weird. We get Simon Pegg as Buck, the one-eyed weasel. He’s back, and he’s crazier than ever. He’s not a villain, but he’s definitely the reason everyone thinks they’re crazy.
Ice Age: Collision Course
The actual threat? A giant asteroid. And then… Queen Latifah appears as Ellie? No, wait. She’s still Manny’s wife. The real “villain” is a talking dinosaur-bird thing? Honestly, just nod and enjoy the ride.
Oh, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson voices Shangri Llama. He’s a llama with a yoga studio. He’s basically a walking kale smoothie. You’ll either love or hate him. I laughed.
The Special Guest Stars: Who’s That Voice?
You hear a familiar nasal drawl? That’s Neil deGrasse Tyson. He voices a squirrel at the history museum. I’m not kidding. He explains the asteroid with zero emotion. It’s peak nerd comedy.

Also, Melissa Rauch (Bernadette from Big Bang Theory) shows up as a pterodactyl named Francine. She’s Buck’s love interest. It’s as weird as it sounds.
And Stephanie Beatriz plays a sassy molehog named Gertie. She’s got one line, but she steals the scene. Classic.
The Scrat Factor: The Real MVP
Let’s be honest. Scrat is the star. He’s still chasing that acorn. In this movie, he literally crashes a spaceship and triggers the Ice Age. He’s voiced by director Mike Thurmeier, doing squeaks and grunts.

His subplot is more intense than the main plot. He invents the solar system by accident. A squirrel is responsible for our existence. Take that in.
Final Thoughts: Should You Re-Watch?
Look, Collision Course isn’t the best Ice Age movie. It’s a hot mess. But the cast carries it. Ray Romano’s dad jokes land. Leguizamo’s Sid is still whiny gold. And Keke Palmer brings real heart.
If you’re watching it for the voice actors, it’s a treasure hunt. Adam DeVine’s high-pitched ramblings. Neil deGrasse Tyson’s calm sci-speak. It’s chaos, but it’s our chaos.
So grab a snack, mute the logic part of your brain, and enjoy the ride. Just try not to think about the spaceship. Trust me. It’s easier that way. Now, pass the coffee.
