In the film 'Ice Age' How come all the animals speak English?

Answer 1

You know the TARDIS translates all alien language into English.

Well in Cinemas and attached to our TVs there is the same technology that translates all communication into English.

The Germans have this too.

Answer 2

I totally agree with Sarah, and that is one of many reasons why District 9 is the best sci fi film of the 21st Century so far - the aliens speak alien! And the film makers had the sense to have humans try and communicate with them rather than the aliens having some devise to speak English. To make matters better, District 9 is also a huge hit, proving cinema audiences - in Europe any way - are not as dumb as Hollywood would have us believe (District 9 is not Hollywood - thank god!). A fantastic film! Hopefully film makers can learn from this.

Answer 3

Did you really not know ,

that we used the rare all British Ice Age extras for this film

they are British Ice Age animals , through and through .
So they speak English .

The European, ice age animals ,speak all sorts of animal languages ,

They would be not be understood, by majority ,of the viewing masses .


Hurrah for spell check !!

Answer 4

Animals in movies don't speak English. That's why the cavemen don't understand the animals (because by then humans did have limited speech).

However, filmakers tell the story from the animal's perspectives, so they want US to understand THEM.

("Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" is the only animted movie I have seen where the animals do not talk and we understand the people.)

Answer 5

Because 1. It was produced in the U.S.A 2. All the actors are American and speak English

Answer 6

Because it was made for Americans and most Americans speak English and aren't able to understand other languages. I don't think it would have done so well if it was in, for example, Urdu, because most Americans, at least in the US, speak English, not Urdu. I mean, if it had been in Urdu, maybe some Pakistani-Americans would've gone to see it, I'm not saying they wouldn't, but I don't think like millions of Americans would've gone because they speak English not Urdu.

Answer 7

if you go around the world don,t most country's speak English even as a second languish so why would us English expect any different from an animal

Answer 8

Its made in a English country!!

Answer 9

You probably don't realize it, but all of the animals are speaking in their native language. And through the magic of science and cinematography, each person will hear it automagically translated into their own native language.

Answer 10

Because it's a movie produced in America and targeted at an American audience. It is the majority language and most Americans are too lazy to read subtitles. Also, their kids probably wouldn't be able to follow the plot if they had to read.
