From EURweb: Drake is getting back to the basics of his career’s foundation. The actor turned rapper stars in kid flick “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” his first role in an animated film.

On July 13, fans and kids will get a chance to see a different side to the Canadian native as a mammoth named Ethan.

“He’s a young, strapping, handsome jock,” Drake reveals. “He’s really good at turtle football. He’s very popular. He catches the eye of Peaches.”

Peaches, a spunky mammoth, is actually voiced by Keke Palmer. According to the actress, she’s coming into her teenage-hood and is interested in exploring the wonders of boys and making a statement.
