Plot hole: In the Ice Tunnel scene, Manny, Sid, and Diego come to a stop on the vertical block of ice. It breaks, and they slide through a 'field' of icicles sticking out of the ground. Their 'sled' is shaved down to nothing, indicating that the icicles are sharp. After going through the same tunnel as the baby, how did the baby make it through that field? (00:46:53)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha, Chris Wedge
Starring: John Leguizamo, Jack Black, Denis Leary, Cedric the Entertainer, Diedrich Bader, Goran Visnjic, Stephen Root, Ray Romano
Diego stays on Sid and Manny's side. Manny slams Soto into a wall who then is impaled by razor sharp Icicles. Manny and Sid are forced to leave a badly injured Diego behind and bring the baby back to the very grateful humans. As they start to head South, Diego shows up fine, and they all migrate together. Meanwhile, Scrat unfreezes 20,000 years later on a tropical island, loses his acorn and finds a coconut instead. But then he tries to bury it underground and causes a volcano to erupt.

Suggested correction: A possible reason for the sled slowing down is not due to the ice tunnel but the sheer several tons of weight the sled had on it while it was sliding through the tunnel.
Good point. Without the weight, the icicles would had slowed down the sled instead. And since the baby hardly weighs anything at all, it wouldn't have been able to slide through the field, it would've just collided with the front icicles and stayed there. But it still leads back to question of how the baby got through the field.
Not true, their "sled" is destroyed by the icicles.
Question: Perhaps a bit of an odd question but when the pack falls back and Soto asks Diego where the baby is, was he asking because he was angry he couldn't see the baby right there to take it, or was he just wondering where the baby was as he couldn't see it?
Chosen answer: He was being angrily sarcastic, because he realises Diego betrayed him.
