Columbia Torch Lady is a fictional Torch Lady (the species is also fictional) that appears in the 2002 film Columbia Pictures, Ice Age and its sequel, the 2006 film Columbia Pictures: The Meltdown, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Columbia Pictures: The Dreamdown and Sony Pictures. She is so obsessed with it, that even when it is stolen from her, she is determined to get it back (even if the Miss Liberty that took it is bigger and stronger than her). She is also featured in Open Season and Open Season 2. Columbia Torch Lady has also appeared in these Full Frame/Widescreen films. In the films, Gone Torchy, Gone Torchy 2 and Another Gone Torchy, where she loses her meticulously-organized collection of Torchs in a catastrophic chain of events occurring after ramming her Torch into the hole in the exact middle of the collection, and accidentally starting continental drift in the process.

In the second, Columbia Torch Lady's Travel Time Adventure, she finds a Time Machine left by an unfortunate Time travel, and visits a number of historical events.

Another one short film Columbia Torch Lady's Adventures she have to start her own Adventure.

In both Columbia Pictures Ice Age movies, as well as in the short films, Columbia Torch Lady is "voiced" by Sigourney Weaver. Though she never actually speaks, her eyes acting, squeals, squeaks, grunts and (more often than not) screams, serve well enough to get her points across.

While constantly hunting for the Rocket in order to either bury it or eat it, fate always seems to get in the way and throughout all the series she ends up in often painful and always hilarious situations ranging from being struck by lightning, chased by a avalanche, and knocked unconscious repeatedly to and knocked unconscious repeatedly to running afoul of various Torch Lady life and having to fight for the Rocket (and generally losing, except in two cases when she defeated a school of Dream Ghosts single-pawed and battled Scrat for it, also winning.

Her character has proved enormously successful and many have credited her as the most popular character of the franchise.

Columbia Torch Lady's Custom Logos

The Mouse That Roared (1959): The statue leaves her pedestial leaving her torch behind. In the end credits, you can see her rushing up the stairs of the pedestial grabbing her torch again.

Bye Bye Birdie (1963): The Columbia torch lady's flame leaps from the torch to form the title of the film.

Strait-Jacket (1964): At the end of this horror film starring Joan Crawford, the decapitated torch lady appears with her head on the ground.

Cat Ballou (1965): The Columbia Statue transforms into an animated version of Jane Fonda as a cowgirl who is holding two guns and firing them.

The Man Called Flintstone (1966): The torch lady is replaced with Wilma Flintstone, dressed as the Torch Lady! Unfortunately, Great American edited out this variation when they owned Hanna-Barbera. Shame.

Thank God It's Friday (1978) : We see the Torch Lady posed as in the start of "The Sunburst/Abstract Torch" logo. Suddenly disco music starts playing and the Lady turns animated and gets into a few seconds of dancing. Then she resumes in Torch pose and the rest of the logo plays as normal.

What Planet Are You From? (1999): Annette Bening's head is pasted onto where the Torch Lady's head is as an inside joke (as some people have said the 90s TL looks like her)

Ali (2001) The logo rolls backwards.

Charlie's Angels (2001): After the normal sequence of the displaying of the Columbia logo, the camera zooms toward the right side of the logo, until the clouds fill up the entire screen, and the opening credits start from there.

Men in Black II (2002) In the theatrical trailer, the Columbia Pictures woman wears the trademark MIB sunglasses. At the beginning of the movie, the torch in the hand of the Columbia Pictures logo flashes (like a neuralizer).
