The spaceship

in the scene where Sid strays on the short cut. He sees different animals frozen in the ice and at last a spaceship; they play spaceshippy music to it.

What do you make of this? There are so many theories about the push that humans made around that time in their (our) development and some people believe it was due to alien intervention.

Any thoughts? Have a great day! :)

Given the 'Sid Evolutionary Line' we saw in the same scene, I'd say they were playing it for laughs.

I don't think it's relevent to the plot.

I thought it might have been an homage to "The Thing". Obviously the kids wouldn't get it, but adults might have been amused by it. I think it's one of the reasons why Pixar/Blue Sky are so popular, they sprinkle in things the parents can enjoy too.

I'm not really familiar with Star Trek, but I believe the baby did a Star Trek sign when he saw the spaceship!
Am I right?

Yes, he did.
