The Ice Age Films ask THE QUESTION: WHAT IS FAMILY?
Is family the one you are born in to, or the one you make?
Co-screenwriter Jason Fuchs: “Each film explores what it really means to be a family. Is it just something you're born into? I think all our characters grapple with that question. And I think it's Diego who has sort of the essential line of the film when he’s asked, kind of dismissively, what's the difference between a pack and a family? Diego replies, ‘We have each other's backs.’ And that's what it means to be a family, and that's the heart of this movie and of this franchise.”
