A scene from Ice Age: The Meltdown 2006
[Meanwhile, Manny has managed to get the kids under control by telling them a story]

And so, in the end, the little burro reached his mommy and they lived happily ever after.

Kid Animals

Yay!

Good job.

Beaver
[Putting his hand up]

Question: Why does the burro go home? Why doesn't he stay with the rabbits?

Because... because he wanted to be with his family.

Bird
[Landing on Manny's tusk]

I think he should go with the girl burro. That's a better love story.

Okay. [picks the bird up with his trunk and puts her down on the ground] Well, when you tell your burro story, that's what he'll do.

Deer

Burro is a demeaning name. Technically, it's called a Wild A**.

Fine. The Wild A** boy came home to his Wild A** mother.

[The kids laugh]

See? That's why I called it a burro!

Brontotheres Calf

Did the burro have a grazing problem? That would make him more relatable.

Start Calf

Boring.

Shovelmouth Calf

I don't get it.

Turtle

It's not believable.

Beaver

Do burrows eat their young? It's not a very satisfying ending.

Start Calf

Sometimes I throw up.

They lived happily ever after. You can't get more satisfying than that. One big happy family. That's the way it's supposed to be.

Bird

Then where's your big happy family?
