8 Times Neil DeGrasse Tyson Ruined Your Favorite Films

3. Ice Age: Collision Course

Despite the fact that NDT is actually in the fifth film in the Ice Age franchise, he still had apparently zero qualms with dishing out the cold hard facts on this fun, fluffy movie aimed at children (i.e. not astrophysicists).

He points out that Scrat's acceleration in order to get to the moon in 16.5 seconds would probably have reduced him to rodent jam.

The method of deflecting an asteroid using the repelling powers of magnets, however, is actually impressively innovative for a kid's movie. He was also impressed with the way the movie depicted dinosaurs - as fluffy, avian types.

“I applaud the moviemakers, storytellers, illustrators and animators, somebody must have had science in college and liked it and decided to fold it into their professional career.”

So, you can keep your space epics and nearly-scientifically-accurate black holes, if you want to impress Tyson, just get the magnets and the dinosaurs right (and let him be in your movie).
