1. Manny the Mammoth (Originally Ray Romano)
In the Malay version, Manny is voiced by the legendary A. Razak Mohd. Known for his deep, gruff yet melancholic tone, Razak perfectly captured Manny’s loneliness and eventual softness. He didn't try to mimic Ray Romano's fast-talking New York style; instead, he made Manny a stoic, "orang lama" (old-school) character that resonated with Malay family values.
The "Lost" TV vs. DVD Versions
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Ice Age Malay dub is the schism between the theatrical/DVD dub and the television dub.
When Ice Age 2: The Meltdown aired on TV3 during school holidays, the dialogue was significantly more pasar (market) and colloquial. Slang from specific Malaysian states—like Kelantanese or Terengganuan dialect—slipped into Sid’s lines, to the absolute delight of local audiences.
However, the official DVD releases of the Malay dub were often more sanitized, using standard formal Bahasa Melayu (Baku). For collectors and nostalgic millennials, finding a VHS recording of the TV3 broadcast is considered a holy grail, far more valuable than the official sterile DVD release.

If you grew up in Malaysia in the 2000s, you probably remember three things: Upin & Ipin, Saturday morning cartoons on TV9, and a certain acorn-obsessed squirrel named Scrat. But here’s the underrated hero of our childhood—the Malay dub of Ice Age.

The Verdict
The Ice Age Malay dub is more than just a cartoon. It is a time capsule of early 2000s Malaysian television culture. It proves that when you treat dubbing as re-creation rather than translation, you can take a story about prehistoric animals and make it feel like it happened in your own backyard.
So, here’s to Manny, Sid, and Diego. The real Malaysian icons.
