Note to 20th Century Fox

Dear Creators of ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS,

Please note the timeline below. (click to embiggen)


The wooly mammoth, the "star" of your series of family-friendly animated movies, did exist during the last major ice age on earth about 20,000 years ago. One presumes that's the ice age referenced in the title of your film and the association of ice age to mammoth is correct. Well done. (By the way, I am especially fond of the sabertoothed squirrel, Scrat. He's awesome.)

If you reference the timeline, however, you may notice a problem with the title of your current offering. The last of the dinosaurs became extinct approximately 65 million years ago.

This means that dinosaurs pre-dated mammoths by about 65 million years. This makes it highly improbable that your title MAKES ANY FRAKKING SENSE WHATSOEVER!

Just wanted to get that off my chest. Thank you for your attention.

Oh yeah, and animals can't talk either. Now I feel better.
