The stroy begin with two of friends named Sid - a sloth and Manny - a mammoth in the period of ice age, you can guess it's time when our mother earth covering in Ice everywhere. Sid the sloths met Manny when he was going to be captured by big animal, luckily Manny saved him. Then, Sid thanked Manny and want to make a friend. However, Manny refuses his request and want him to leave, but yes as you guess - he won't - and Sid's persistence apparently make them together.
