Happy birthday to Denis Leary! :) Thanks for voicing Diego all these years for us and bringing him to life with your voice! :)

One of the things I loved the most about Ice Age, even as a small kid, was the history and prehistory jokes and I really wish the series had leaned into this kind of humour stylings instead of the increasing modern references. And I know Stonehenge here is an anachronism joke too but it's still ancient and even though it's out of place for our animal characters and Roshan, it's funny because it's a meta commentary and again, I really wish Ice Age as a series had kept things like these - historical or prehistorical jokes because those would've at least fit into the prehistoric timeframe/timeline of these movies.

But for me, IA1's humour will forever be top-notch because of humour and jokes like these, with the sort of in-jokes about historical events or places. It made the humour/jokes in the film even more clever in my opinion. (Another historical reference/joke - at least from my perception - is Soto's name itself because I've long thought that his name was a subtle reference to conquistador Hernando De Soto - but a joke like that is definitely something of a deep cut that most young audiences won't notice until they're older!)
