plot explanation - Why did Peaches' mom hang on the tree? - Movies & TV



In the middle of the movie Ice Age: Continental Drift Peaches' mom asked Peaches to go to sleep. Then, she hung on the tree. This particular scene was quite strange and confused me pretty badly, because she's a mammoth, why did she hang on the tree like that?




Further, I've only watched the Ice Age3 and Ice Age4. Did I miss anything? Did they show any scene towards Peaches' mom's strange behavior in the previous parts?


Answer



In Ice Age 2, when Elle was first introduced, she thought she was a possum, thus hanging upside down in a tree to sleep. Some of her habits were taught to Peaches, thus the girl sleeping upside down.



In Ice Age 4, there was a line of dialogue from Peaches about being half possum. this came from the idea that Elle still believes herself to be a possum, but that Peaches' dad is a mammoth.
