Sid the Sloth (Continental Drift-Present)

Sidney "Sid" the Sloth is one of the three main protagonists of the Ice Age franchise. Sadly, he suffered flanderization beginning with the fourth film Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Why He Sucked
NOTE: This article will focus on his flanderized self from Ice Age: Continental Drift and Ice Age: Collision Course.
 * 1) Sid became nothing but a stereotypical, lazy bum during these films.
 * 2) *He also became more of a lazy bum in the fifth film.
 * 3) He is even more dirty than he was in the previous three films as well as in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, such as vomiting out grape jelly, wiping his face with poison ivy, and so forth.
 * 4) Sid finding a mate, while a fine concept on paper, was very pointless and poorly executed; especially in the fifth film.
 * 5) Sid was uncareful to the point that he ate a fruit that paralyzed him without knowing it.
 * 6) Like Manny, Sid received even more flanderization in Ice Age: Collision Course and became even more idiotic and an even bigger butt-monkey than he already was.
 * 7) He is also destructive than he was before as well, like when he destroyed Geotopia just so he can give a diamond to Brooke.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Sid was a much more likable and funny character in the first three movies.
 * 2) John Leguizamo still did an amazing job voicing him.
 * 3) He gave us a few funny moments from Continental Drift such as the scene where his face gets deformed from drinking salt water and "Holy Crab"!
 * 4) Even though it was poorly executed, the idea of him getting a girlfriend is a pretty good concept, especially considering that nobody from his biological family but Granny loved him and even abandoned him, so it makes sense that he deserves to have some company and make a family of his own, improving on his own family's mistakes.
 * 5) He eventually recovered from his flanderization in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.

Trivia

 * On the official social network Ice Age pages, in an imaginary Sid's profile of a dating site, it's written that Sid is 30. Since the Herd Valley is listed as his residence, Sid "would have created the profile" between the fourth and the fifth movie. Assuming this information is true, Sid would have been only about 7-11 during the first film.
