Me, at age ten, watching Ice Age 1, unware of Manny's tragic past involving the loss of his mate/son: Oh I like this mammoth he is grumpy but he's funny and somehow still endearing and majestic and big.
Me, at age thirty-one, knowing for years now Manny's backstory: Oh, Manny is on the VERGE of tears so often in IA1. He wears his grief/pain on his sleeve but it's conveyed so subtly it's missable for young viewers but once you grow up... tears lurk in his eyes in pretty much every scene (if you watch closely enough).
