Manny/Ellie

[Bonita Victoria]

The only offical couple you see outta three of the Ice Age movies, well....it counts if you watch them in order, so being as it were, Ellie and her possum brothers Crash and Eddie are the only ones we see that still show up for another sequel cause they became a part of Manny, Sid and Diego's team.

But I like this couple a lot. I didn't know what to think of Ellie at first the the first time I saw the second Ice Age movie in 2006, but Ellie has grown a lot to me. She's sweet, charming, friendly, always happy, and being the only girl on the team, she knows what to do. I find it funny at first how she thought that she was a possum, but learn from her old roots that she's really a mammoth.

Now her pregrantly in the third movie I thought that was too sudden. Wait, why am I still talking about the character more than the couple? Awww man! Well I'll save that for another time. Anyways, Manny and Ellie are a cute match together before they learn they weren't the last mammoths on the face of the earth. End of story! ;D

I admit, I wasn't too crazy about Ellie in the second movie. I didn't hate her or anything, but she was just sort of... there. She fulfilled her role as Manny's love interest, and that was all. After the the third movie, though, I went back and watched the Meltdown over... and I realized how awesome Ellie is as a character and how subtly sweet her relationship is with Manny.

For one thing, on her own, Ellie is actually a rather deep and complicated character. She was adopted by a family of possums and so immersed in the possum world, that she eventually forgot she was a mammoth and had no reason to believe she was anything other than a possum. Then, of course, she meets Manny, and she comes to terms with the truth... yet she still holds onto the ideals of a possum- that bravery is bad, and cowardice keeps you alive... which ultimately turns out to be WRONG. If Ellie had followed Manny, Diego and Sid through the fire-pits, they all would've been safe on the boat.

GAH! Going into character rant.

Umm... in short, Ellie is awesome, Manny is awesome, Peaches is awesome, MannyxEllie is awesome, and the Ice Age movies are awesome.

I immediatly loved Ellie, I was so happy to see female main character for a change!

They are a very cute couple! The saving the species date was hilarious!

It's cute how she's still insecure about her weight, though mammoths are supposed to be big and Manny said it: Round is foxy!

And Peaches a great result of their relationship.
