General
Okay, for the record.
1.) The inspiration for Toothless' face design is in fact Stitch.
2.) The dialect is Cockney. And although the term "berkley hunt" is --how shall I say?-- more colorful than "berk", "berk" is now used to call someone a fool without regards to its livelier past.
3.) One dragon is indeed carrying Gloria from "Madagascar". (Kudos to any dragon who can catch and lift a hippo let alone carry it that far!)
Now on to round 9...
Subject - "Ice Age 1"
1.) All the characters in the movie have names, including the people. What is the name of the baby Manny and the rest are taking back to his man-herd?
2.) Don Bluth was originally scouted to direct "Ice Age". He not only refused, but stormed angrily out of the office. What upset him so much?
3.) Chris Wedge, director of "Ice Age", played the voice of one of the major characters in the movie. Which character was it?

FA+

2. I gotta say, I just gotta. They told him he couldn't haven't Big Lips on the characters.
I _know_, at least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. But the big Bluth Lips... I have to guess that.
3. Not sure. Scrat?
Scrat is sort of a major character, at least the agent of chaos that drives all the films, it makes noises. I'm guessing those are director noises, but it's just a wild guess.
Thus the term " Big fat gator lip moment ".
2. I think Bluth was upset that Fox wouldn't take the film as a full drama like the vast majority of his films has been so he dropped out not wanting to do a comedy.
3. Pretty sure it was Scrat
2> Ice Age was originally intended to be a dramatic, non-comedic hand-drawn animated film. It was to be directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and produced by Fox Animation Studios. However, in 2000, Fox Animation Studios shut down due to the financial failure of Titan A.E. The drama was also dropped from the film because Fox would only accept it as a comedy.
3> Chris Wedge is the voice of Scrat.
