Dr. C and Mike travel to the Arctic to study frozen artifacts, and find a frozen woolly mammoth. They thaw it out, and are shocked to find that it can speak. Whenever a situation that involves physics principles, the mammoth, Phil, remembers when a similar situation occurred long ago in Woollyville with his fellow mammoths and his human friends.

  • Max Casella as Cro: Cro was a fully-evolved 11-year-old Cro-Magnon boy. Cro lives with the Neanderthals and is the smarter one which was the reason most of the characters hated him.
  • Jim Cummings as Ogg: The big show-off of the Neanderthals, Ogg was the leader and bossed everyone around. He gets into arguments with Nandy and once forced Bobb out of the tribe, causing everyone to leave Ogg all alone (they came back to him because they thought he felt lonely). Ogg's phrases include: "In cases like this, only one thing to say: " and "We gonna die," which is often used by other Neanderthals; Gogg said it once and Nandy said it too, but Ogg told her that it was his line.
  • Frank Welker as Gogg: Gogg is the sensitive one in the tribe. He sticks up for Bobb and mostly translates for him, even though Nandy and Og do occasionally.
  • Frank Welker as Bobb: Bobb is the Neanderthal on the lowest rank in the evolutionary scale, meaning he is still an ape-like creature. He does not speak like the rest of the Neanderthals, but makes monkey-like noises and either Gogg or Nandy translate for him. When Bobb was younger, his previous tribe (before the Neanderthals) either deserted him, got eaten, or some other reason...and Bobb was all alone!
  • Candi Milo as Nandy: Nandy is noted for her urban legends. Some of her legends include the legend of "Big Thing" and a monster called "Big Skinny Thing with Many, Many Legs." She gets into arguments with Ogg and usually wins; in fact, Nandy thinks Ogg is a big weenie. She is very overprotective of Cro and motherly around everyone else.
  • Jim Cummings as Phil: This is the character that tells the stories in every episode. During the end of the Ice Age, Phil fell into a glacier and got thawed out by Mike and Dr. C 45,000 years later. Even though Phil is smart, he is a little goofy. Phil has red fur and orange flesh. He is friends with Cro and loyal to the mammoths, too.
  • April Winchell as Ivanna: Ivanna, a southern belle mammoth with yellow fur and brown skin with a mole, is Phil's love life. She is the second oldest female mammoth in the herd next to Esmeralda. She usually uses Phil for her experiments.
  • Tress MacNeille as Pakka Pakka has light orange fur with yellow skin. She is also Cro's friend. She and Cro met when Cro came down from the waterfall after defeating Selene with his lever. When Ogg kicked Cro out of the tribe due to the lever, Cro disguised himself as a mammoth in order to blend in, but he came back to the Neanderthals. She is the third oldest female mammoth next to Ivanna and Esmeralda. She sometimes tells Cro interesting facts about mammoths.
  • Charles Adler as Steamer: Steamer is the youngest mammoth in the herd. He has maroon fur and light purple skin. He is always getting into mischief. He is the most hyperactive mammoth in the herd, which gets him into and trouble and sometimes out.
  • Tress MacNeille as Esmeralda Esmeralda has light yellow fur, skin colored an odd gray, and is the matriarch of the herd. She is the oldest female in the herd. She makes sure that everything goes to order and that those who have wronged the mammoth society be punished. She doesn't mind the Neanderthals...much.
  • Frank Welker as Earle: Earle has gray fur with dark gray-blue skin with a bold spot. Both Earle and Mojo hate humans and are quite conservative.
  • Charles Adler as Mojo: Mojo is Earle's younger brother; he has gray fur with light gray skin. Both Earle and Mojo hate humans and are quite conservative.
  • Frank Welker as Big Red: Big Red is the leader of the menacing pack of the bumbling dire wolves. He uses threats to scare his minions into doing a good job, like in Things That Eat Mung in the Night, where he said he would gnaw on one of them should they fail.[1] The wolves are one of two antagonists on the show.
  • Jim Cummings as Murray: The minions of Big Red. Because he threatens them, the wolves fear him. Murray thinks stupid things, which Big Red doesn't like, as shown in Things That Eat Mung in the Night.[2]
  • Tress MacNeille as Selene: Selene is a purple, yellow-eyed sabor-toothed tiger and has sort of a seductive personality. She is the other antagonist on the show.
  • Ruth Buzzi as Dr. Cecilia: She and Mike thawed out Phil, so he tells them his stories. She speaks with a distinct Hispanic accent and speaks a few Spanish words in some episodes.
  • Jussie Smollett as Mike: Mike has big glasses. He likes to play basketball and lives with Dr. C for reasons not specified. He and Dr. C were the two people that thawed out Phil and therefore, he tells them his stories.
  • Cree Summer as Sooli: Sooli got separated from her tribe and Cro and Pakka help her find her favorite horse. Sooli only appeared in one episode. She was of black descent.
