Diego (Ice Age)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diego is a fictional saber-toothed cat from the 2002 film Ice Age and its 2006 film sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown.

He used to be in a rogue pack of saber-toothed cats until he made friends with Manny the wooly mammoth and Sid the ground sloth, eventually "dying" to save Manny, but coming back in the last few minutes for an effective ending, but originally, he did not come back: this idea was cut and he was brought back for the final version. In the second film, he is shown to be afraid of water, which may relate to his cat family. In Ice Age 2 he pretends that he is not listening to Sid's very helpful advise on how to swim, putting it into an example that Diego could understand. Later in the scene where Sid is going to drown he shows he had listened to the advice given and (unenthusiastically at first) overcomes his fear of water and saves him and the two opossum brothers, Crash and Eddie (to distinguish, Crash has the squished face and blue eyes). In Ice Age and its sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown, he is voiced by Denis Leary. Ice Age 3 will be released in 2008.
