Sid the Sloth (Pre-Continental Drift)

Sid the Sloth is a giant ground sloth, as well as one of the major characters from the Ice Age franchise, first appearing on the first film, he along with Diego became part of Manny's herd, he is voiced by John Leguizamo.

Why He Rocked

 * 1) He is very optimistic and friendly to those around him, even though most of the characters misjudge him for being a screw-up most of the time.
 * He, along with Scrat contributes to the films' funniest moments.
 * 1) While Sid is easily the wackiest and most spontaneous animal of the core three compared to Manny or Diego, often thinking outside the box and doing his own thing, no matter how weird it may seem, he's gradually overtaken by Ellie and her brothers, Crash and Eddie, by the second film.
 * 2) He likes caring a lot for children, as seen on the first Ice Age film and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
 * 3) His design is pretty cute for a ground sloth.
 * 4) Although he is judged by the other members of the herd for being irresponsible, he actually does show a lot of responsibility.
 * 5) He was the glue that held Manny and Diego's friendship together, even Diego mentioned it at the end of the second film.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While his design is good, it doesn’t really seem to replicate the design of actual giant ground sloths unlike how Manny and Diego's designs replicate woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.
 * 2) He can be a little annoying and gross at times.
 * 3) His character was heavily Flanderized ever since the fourth and fifth installments where he became much dumber and not as likable.
