Which actor voices Ellie in Ice Age: The Meltdown?

Queen Latifah voices Ellie in Ice Age: The Meltdown.

Ellie is one of the principal new characters in the second Ice Age movie. She is a woolly mammoth who was raised by possums and therefore initially behaves as though she belongs to their family. Her introduction expands the original trio into a larger herd and gives Manny a central romantic storyline.

Queen Latifah was already known as a rapper, actor, and recording artist before joining the franchise. Her performance combines comedy with warmth, helping Ellie function both as a source of jokes and as a grounded counterpart to Manny.

Jennifer Lopez is sometimes guessed because she voices Shira in Ice Age: Continental Drift, but Shira is a later character. Queen Latifah is the performer credited with Ellie’s voice in The Meltdown.
