Which actress voices Ellie in the Ice Age film series?

Queen Latifah voices Ellie in the Ice Age film series.

Ellie is a mammoth introduced in Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006). Queen Latifah supplies her English voice, giving Ellie a confident, warm, and humorous personality. The character becomes Manny’s partner and an important member of the herd after initially believing she is a possum.

Ellie’s unusual childhood belief is a major part of her introduction. She was raised alongside the possum brothers Crash and Eddie and adopted their behavior, including hanging upside down. The story later reveals that she is a mammoth who had been separated from her own family when she was young.

Queen Latifah is also known for music, television, and live-action films. In Ice Age, her performance helps make Ellie more than a supporting character: she becomes central to the family storyline and appears in the subsequent theatrical sequels.
