SUMMARY:Ice Age 2 The Meltdown: Free Winter Warm Up Movie 1pm
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy this FREE preview of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown during West Bend’s Winter Warm Up\, sponsored by Time Investment of West Bend.\n***Please note: This event is in partnership with Winter Warm Up and our lobby is a “Warm-Up Hub” throughout the entire day. Our lobby will be open to the public and may get noisy at times while the movie is being screened. *** \n\n\n\n\nManny\, Sid\, and Diego live in a valley that is surrounded by a high ice wall on all sides and is inhabited by many other creatures. The trio discovers that the ice wall is actually a dam that is barely holding a reservoir that could flood the valley if it fails. A vulture tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the valley that may save them\, but they must reach it in three days. A chunk of ice breaks off from the top of the dam\, initiating their immediate evacuation. Manny is also struggling with the thought of possibly being the last mammoth alive.
