Plot
A purple squirrel (known as Surly) is trying to find a place to store his prized acorn. Eventually, as he tries to stomp it into the ground, he causes a large crack in the ground that extends for miles and miles and sets off a large avalanche. He barely escapes, but finds himself stepped on by a herd of prehistoric animals. The animals are trying to avoid the ice age by migrating south. Oh, a Boov left behind by his family, decides to move on by himself but is attacked by two Lions whom he angered by ruining their meal. Oh is soon saved by Lord Shen ("Shen"), an peacock who fights them off and is heading north. Not wanting to be alone and unprotected, Oh follows Shen. Meanwhile, Raccoon, the leader of a Raccoon pack, wants revenge on a group of humans for killing half of his pack, by eating the chief's baby son, Russell, alive. Raccoon leads a raid on the human camp, during which Russell's mother is separated from the rest and jumps down a waterfall when cornered by Raccoon's lieutenant, RJ. For his failure, Surly is sent to find and retrieve the camper boy.

Later, Oh and Shen spot Russell and his mother near the lake, having survived her plunge. The mother only has enough strength to entrust her baby to Manny before she disappears into the water. After much persuasion by Oh, they decide to return Russell, but when they reach the human settlement, they find it deserted. They meet up with RJ, who convinces the pair to let him help by tracking the humans. The four travel on, with RJ secretly leading them to his pack for an ambush.

After encountering several misadventures on their way, they reach a cave with several cave paintings made by humans. There Oh and RJ learn about Shen's past and his previous interactions with the human hunters, in which his wife and child were killed, leaving Manny a depressed loner. Later, Shen, Oh, RJ and Russell almost reach their destination—Raccoon, but encounter a river of lava. Shen and Oh, along with Russell, make it across safely, but RJ freezes, about to fall into the lava. Shen saves him, narrowly missing certain death by falling into the lava himself. The herd takes a break for the night, and Russell takes his first walking steps towards RJ, who starts to change his mind about his mission.

The next day, the herd approaches the ambush, causing RJ—now full of respect for Shen for saving his life—to change his mind and confess to Shen and Oh about the ambush. As the pair turn hostile towards him, Surly asks for their trust, and tries to foil the attack. The herd battles Raccoon's pack, but despite their efforts, Raccoon's associates manage to corner Shen. As Raccoon closes in for the kill on Shen, RJ jumps in the way and is injured as a result. Shen then knocks a distracted Raccoon into a rock wall, causing several sharp icicles to fall onto Raccoon, killing him. Horrified, the rest of the pack retreat. Shen and Oh mourn for RJ's injury, which they believe is fatal, and continue their journey without him.

Soon, Shen and Oh manage to return Russell to his tribe, and to their surprise, RJ manages to rejoin them, in time to see the baby leave. The group then begin to head off to warmer climates.

20,000 years later, Surly, frozen in ice, ends up on the shores of a tropical island. As the ice slowly melts, the acorn is washed away. Surly then finds a coconut and tries stomp it into the ground, only to mistakenly trigger a volcanic eruption.
