(MCT) — First came the God particle, the Higgs boson. Then came “Ice Age” (2002). Then, “Ice Age: The Meltdown” (2006). Then “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” (2009). And now arrives “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” informally known as “Ice Age 4,” also known as a paycheck and a likely haul for all involved at Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox.
