By: Caryn Robbins Feb. 18, 2016

Scrat, Manny, Sid, Diego and a few new friends from the blockbuster animated franchise "Ice Age" return for an hilarious, all-new holiday adventure, ICE AGE: THE GREAT EGG-SCAPADE, airing Sunday, March 20 (7:30-8:00 PM ET/PT), leading into THE PASSION (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

In ICE AGE: THE GREAT EGG-SCAPADE, harried prehistoric bird mom Ethel (Taraji P. Henson, EMPIRE) entrusts her precious, soon-to-hatch egg to Sid (John Leguizamo). When she recommends him to her neighbors - a condor mom (Wendy Williams), Cholly Bear (Gabriel Iglesias) and Gladys Glypto (Lili Estefan) - business booms at his new egg-sitting service. However, dastardly pirate bunny Squint (Seth Green, FAMILY GUY), who is seeking revenge on the ICE AGE gang, steals, camouflages and hides all the eggs. Once again, with Squint's twin brother, Clint (Blake Anderson), assisting, Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary) and the rest of the gang come to the rescue and take off on a daring mission that turns into the world's first Easter egg hunt.

During the special, don't miss an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming, all-new animated feature film "Ice Age: Collision Course," premiering in theaters Friday, July 22, 2016.

ICE AGE: THE GREAT EGG-SCAPADE arrives on Digital HD the day after broadcast at iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Amazon Video, Sony Playstation Store, Microsoft Movies & TV and MGo.
