Yikes... always aggravating when a "theme" is selected by "Cheerleaders" because "OMG it would be Sooooo cool and like, Awesome!!! We can wear like fur skirts!!" without any thought to how to accomplish the the theme.

I saw the movie a few months back and am lost, at first thought, as to what sort of float a high-school class could build.  Give me a few hours... It would be nice to know what sort of vehicle you have available for this...

Okay, the KEY visuals from the movie are the Sabertooth-cat, Mammoths, and the "Pyramid" under construction: http://www.scifimoviepage.com/art_10000B...

IF You were doing this on a flat-bed truck, I would build up a platform on the FRONT with a large foam sabertooth in the crouch.... a scenic break right behind the cab.... and coming OFF the bed: a representation of the pyramid ramp with a mammoth or three.

Places to go for help:  Your theater geeks !! Stage flats are a great construction tool.  As is 1" metal square-tubing.

GOOD LUCK
