Quick question: what's the original title for the third 'Ice Age' film? There used to be a time where we took the original title from a rock-solid source - the credits - but no more, which has complicated things. From the rules:

Quote:
The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title. For profiles which have an alternate title displayed on the cover, use the title from the film's credits. For titles released outside their country of origin, use the original release title.

There are now profiles in the database with two different original titles: 'Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' and 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (without the number). To clean that up, we need to establish what the actual original title is. My own Blu-ray has 'Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' on the cover and in the credits, but 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' in the credits block. Since my Blu-ray is from a locality "outside the country of origin", I get to use the "original release title", but unfortunately the rules don't further define what that is, or where to take it from. Sites like IMDb, Wikipedia and BoxOfficeMojo all state the title without the "3", and official site www.iceagemovie.com omits the "3" as well.

So which is it, and why?

I never knew it was called Ice Age 3 in the first place.  Always knew it to be IA: DotD.

The actual credits say: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

If this is the on-screen credit of the original release in the CoO this is what should be used.
