Does anyone remember the 2002 movie Ice Age? It was a classic film that I've ever watched since I was little. My favorite characters from the movie was Manny, Sid, and Diego, and not to mention, Scrat of course. If you don't know what the movie's about, it involves three animals that are returning the baby back to his tribe after a group of saber tooth tigers were going after him and his family. There was also a sad scene from the movie when Manny had a tragic backstory where his first wife and son were killed by a group of hunters in the cave drawing scene. This is a story how everything didn't went too well. It was just a normal Friday night at my house, and I was preparing to hop onto my desktop as usual. Once I've logged in, I went on Google, and I received an notification from my Gmail, and it was in fact, an email from Blue Sky Studios. I've clicked on it, and it says:

Hello Jaiden

We would like to send you a extended version of Manny's Backstory from our old films Ice Age. we were originally going to plan to add this to the film but we thought it would upset younger audiences, so we decided to scrap it. Right after you watch this, please do not screen this anywhere in public.

Kind Regards

So this was first time I received an email from an animation company that was not from Pixar, Nickelodeon, or even DreamWorks. Right after I red the whole email, I've downloaded the file that was attached onto the email that I received. Once I downloaded the files, I dragged them into the download folder and extracted them. There was only file which was labeled as "iceagemannyspast.mp4". I clicked on the file and started to watched the video in the first place. It starts with Manny, Sid holding Roshan, and Diego walking through the caves and seeing some drawings of prehistoric animals, as well as the hunters too. The difference was that the music was in lower pitch rather than normal. Sid was looking at the paintings of saber tooth tigers and saying they were playing tag just like from the film. Sid looks at the painting of the mammoths that closely resembles Manny himself. "Ooooh, somebody pinch me!." Said Manny. Sid gets Manny's attention that the paintings of the mammoth look just like him. And the moment, Manny got distracted by Sid and he was told by Sid that the mammoth has a family. Sid starts to talking about mammoths until Diego told him to be quiet at the moment. Manny looked at the paintings of the mammoths and started to felt silence for five seconds. Sid says "Manny, are you feeling alright?" "Yes Sid" Said Manny as he was begin to tear up. The camera begins to zoom slowly on Manny's face as he begins to remember his past family. The drawing animation begins with Manny, his first wife, and his first child as usual. The couple hugged together, and Manny's first child started to go on adventures until he was encountered by a group of hunters that resembled the caveman. The three then escaped from the hunters, and Manny begin to fight back the hunters. Manny tried to stop the hunters from killing his wife, and his child until it was already too late. The hunters dropped the rock on the two, and Manny screamed for them. It then cuts to Manny's face again, and tears started to drop from his eyelids. Roshan felt sorry for Manny and he comforted him. Manny sobbed quietly, but it was sounding realistic as voice actor Ray Romano was in pain. Sid cried quietly, and give Manny a hug too. Sid's voice begin to crack as he said "Manny....I'm sorry about your family." Sid sobbed quietly. "I know Sid" Manny said. Even Diego felt very sorry about Manny, he didn't cry, but had a sad expression on his face. Manny putted Roshan on his back, and two animals started to exited the cave just like from the film. Diego was in grief, and later exited to catch up with Manny, Sid, and Roshan. After it showed the shot painting of Manny and his past family, the video ended for real. I was very shocked about Manny's tragic backstory. It was the most devastating scene that had the highest tear-jerking level. Even though the scene was sad, it didn’t have enough potential to make audiences cry. I decided not to watch the video again after I just saw what happened to Manny's family. I didn't cry but I did felt extremely bad for Manny and his past family. I am very unsure who did this scene but I'll found out for sure. It was not Adam Kennington of course because he's more a sick bastard who did the alternate scenes for Pixar movies, and even the lost THX Tex trailers. It's very hard to lose a family member in fact. Just remember, try to keep your emotions control.
