Discover the real Ice Age and the majestic prehistoric animals that lived in this harsh and beautiful lost world, in the new action-packed IMAX film, Titans of the Ice Age 3D<\/i>. Titans of the Ice Age 3D<\/i> opens at IMAX Melbourne Museum just in time for the winter school holidays on 20 June 2013.<\/b><\/p>\n
Dazzling computer-generated imagery brings the Pleistocene Ice Age to life in IMAX 3D, 20,000 years back in time when woolly beasts such as sabre-toothed cats, giant ground sloths, dire wolves and the iconic woolly mammoth existed alongside humans.<\/p>\n
\u201cMegafauna, like dinosaurs before them, were huge prehistoric animals and IMAX 3D is the perfect canvas to showcase these spectacular beasts in their natural habitat\u201d, said Dr Erich Fitzgerald, Senior Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology, Museum Victoria.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe themes in Titans of the Ice Age 3D<\/i> apply equally to Australian\u2019s very own Ice Age giants, which included lost beasts such as the rhino-sized Diprotodon<\/i> and the fearsome marsupial lion Thylacoleo<\/i> that lived in Victoria not so long ago. These are megafauna we almost met, and the lessons revealed in Titans of the Ice Age 3D<\/i> remind us how much our world has, and can, change.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as being one of Australia\u2019s most active palaeontologists, Dr Erich Fitzgerald helped develop Melbourne Museum\u2019s 600 Million Years<\/i> and Dinosaur Walk<\/i> exhibitions, both which feature megafauna marsupials and are literally a minutes\u2019 walk from IMAX, based at IMAX Melbourne Museum.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlready made famous through Ice Age<\/i> the movie, extraordinary fossil discoveries and cave paintings, the iconic woolly mammoth is brought to life in this film and we learn how they really lived thousands of years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Titans of the Ice Age 3D,<\/i> audiences will uncover amazing fossil discoveries including baby Lyuba, a female Woolly Mammoth calf recently exposed by the melting Siberian permafrost, now one of the best preserved mammoth mummies in the world.\u00a0 Audiences will also discover the story of Zed, one of the most complete Colombian Mammoth skeletons ever uncovered, extracted in 2008 from under a Los Angeles parking lot next to the famous La Brea Tar Pits.<\/p>\n
Narrated by Academy Award winning actor Christopher Plummer, Titans of the Ice Age 3D<\/i> is shot on location at Yellowstone National Park, the Northern Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
