Ice Age: Continental Drift (also called Ice Age 4: Continental Drift or simply known as Ice Age 4) is 2012 American 3D computer animated adventure comedy movie. It was directed by Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier. It was written by Jason Fuchs and Michael Berg. It stars the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, Peter Dinklage, Wanda Sykes, Drake and Nicki Minaj.

It is the fourth Ice Age series. It was produced by Blue Sky Studios. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is also the first sequel of Ice Age not to be directed by Carlos Saldanha. It was the second Ice Age movie that is in Digital 3D. It was released in the United States on July 13, 2012. This was the first Ice Age movie to be shot in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio.

The movie was welcomed well from audience: they praised its story, the cast's performance, the villain, its new characters, the humor, the emotional weight and the animation, but was criticized for the siren scenes and for having Scrat as the cause of the events of the movie. The movie became a box office hit. It is currently the 6th highest-grossing animated movie in history. It is the 3rd highest-grossing movie of 2012 with a worldwide gross of over USD$800 million. Ice Age: Continental Drift was released on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on December 4, 2012.[3]
