New trailer arrives for Ice Age: Continental Drift

A hilarious new trailer for Ice Age: Continental Drift has been released.

This new trailer shows the adventures of sabre-toothed squirrel Scrat as he searches for his infamous acorn.

The clip begins with a bedraggled looking Scrat floating alone on a small block of ice before arriving at a small island.

Upon arrival he notices his beloved acorn on the sea bed but, under closer inspection, he finds only the shell of an acorn with a map etched inside.

He is then dragged by a fishing wire through the sea and onto a pirate ship, vast enough to rival the Black Pearl, where we are introduced to some interesting looking characters.

Ice Age: Continental Drift focusses on Manny, Diego and Sid as they are separated from the rest of their group and use an iceberg as a makeshift ship.

Sid becomes reunited with his long lost family, introducing lots of new characters who are determined to stop him from returning back home.

Jennifer Lopez and Nick Frost join the cast of Ice Age: Continental Drift which is due to be released in 3D in July next year.
