Premiering July 1, 2009, the movie is directed by Carlos Saldanha (Ice Age, Robots) and introduces exciting new Ice Age characters and a new Lost World environment.“We are pleased to once again work with Fox Mobile Entertainment to create a great game based on their newest Ice Age film,” said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. “The Ice Age franchise, with its global mass market appeal, is a hit perfectly suited for the mobile platform.”
