• Comment: oh, my little brother saw this yesterday :) shattering any hope that Ice Age wouldn't ruin the beauty of the first movie with another soulless sequel... nevermind. Anyways, i've proposed a few ALTs up above, to add some pizzazz. cheers! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 20:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Yes the movie was absolutely horrendous and thank you for adding more alts. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 23:19, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
• Meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within 7 days of passing GA. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Only pings on Earwigs are from attributed quotes and "The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild" being dinged a close paraphrase. Hooks are short enough and cited within article. I think ALT2 is the best of the lot; ATL0 is kind of dull and the character-specific ones feel a bit self-referential. Morgan695 (talk) 22:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Promoted ALT0 to Prep 6. Although ALT2 was preferred, the article states that one of the core cast members did reprise their role, and this hook fact is not explicitly stated (only hinted at in the reception section) so I did not think it was usable. I liked ALT0 the most from the remaining hooks. Z1720 (talk) 17:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
