Sid's Grandmother (also known as Granny) is a character in Ice Age: Continental Drift. She is a wizened old sloth who's the grandma of Sid.

Biography

Sid's crotchety grandmother becomes a large part of the adventure after accidentally stowing away on the barge with Manny and the gang as they head out to sea. Extremely near sighted and highly opinionated, (a comedic combination) Granny causes loads of trouble for Sid and the guys, especially when she wanders off looking for her thought-to-be deceased pet, Precious.

At sea

"I can't believe this. You slept through that storm? Ah, I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns."

―Granny to Manny on her sleeping through a storm.^[src]&nbsp

A storm had come by, trapping Manny, Sid, and Diego on an ice floe peppered with trees, stumps, and leaves as it drifted out to sea far from land, even though Granny had slept through the whole storm curled up in a hollow dead tree. Irritably muttering that she wanted to remain undisturbed, Granny used her walking stick to poke Diego in the eye in annoyance at being woken up. After Manny had pulled her out of the tree, she had landed on Sid, with Manny in astonishment at her having slept through the whole storm, undisturbed. Dismissively, Granny claimed to have slept through the comet that wiped out the "unicorns" and, without paying mind to where she was walking, fell off the floe into the ocean. Sid ran towards the edge in panic to help his grandma, but she brushed him off, relaxing in the ocean water at her first bath in decades. Sid asked the others to do something and he was thrown in the drink after Granny, pulling her back to the floe, though Granny, irritated as ever, took some blows to Sid's head with her walking stick, angrily demanding that they look away as she dripped dry.

Personality and traits

Granny was apt to become irritated by others easily, hitting at any that annoyed her with her walking stick. Unkind and bitter to all, Granny didn't express gratitude to anyone that helped her.

She was stooped and shrunken with age, being devoid of the buck teeth typical to sloths or any of her other teeth. Granny used a walking stick which doubled as a weapon with which to hit people who bugged her and she wore a shawl-like patch of grey fur over her faded purple pelt, which hadn't seen a bath or washing in decades and released enough oil to cause water around her to develop a bright sheen and kill off several fish once and a shark she stepped into water. Along with this, Granny's scalp hair had become thin and grey, to the point of being scraggly.
