"Ice Age 3" Confusion

I was a little confused this morning as I learned about the third “Ice Age” installment. The first two “Ice Age” films took place when Wooly Mammoths,
Saber-tooth tigers, and giant sloths roamed the earth (natch).These animals first started appearing on earth about 300,000 years ago... about 63 million years
after the dinosaurs died out.

So naturally I was confused when I saw that the subtitle to “Ice Age 3” is “Dawn of the Dinosaurs.” Can any science or history buff explain this to me?

Mammoths lived from about 2 million years ago to 9,000 years ago, during the last ice age (the Pleistocene Epoch). This was millions of years after the dinosaurs went extinct. These huge mammals lived throughout the world.

I guess there is no explanation for it, except, as you said, there might be a frozen one or maybe there is an egg discovered. Is this a Disney film? They owe us an explanation. : )

Um........ Never mind if Dinosaurs ever lived during the time of the Mammoths. Has anyone ever thought of the fact that Mammoths, sloths and Sabertooth tigers never spoke english either? Ha ha ha!
