Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fresh and Exciting

Best movie of this year hands down!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I really wonder what is more impossible for Little Scrat. Finally keep the acorn or carry his own movie. In my opinion, it's the latter. There are some decent jokes in here in this five-year-old 3-minute film (dor example Ice Age characters as Presidents), but none of these have directly to do with this story's hero. Also the reference of Scrat being responsible of the shape of the continents and their position was used a long time ago in an Academy Award nominated earlier Scrat cartoon already. Looks like they really struggle to come up with something new. So, perfect position they are in to make a second short crack-up film I guess huh? Some franchises just bleed out so much. Then again, I did like the 4th "Ice Age" film. But Scrat on his own never did too much for me. Also, during the films he was the weakest component most of the time. Not recommended.

Just watched this very funny computer-animated short before the feature Rio. In this one, the Ice Age squirrel keeps trying to protect his acorn to the point of inadvertently forming the world as we know it now. I mean, he seems responsible for forming such great continents like Austrailia, Africa, and countries like Italy (with a humorous turn as a kicking boot). He even initially makes the Mount Rushmore in his images! Just seeing Scrat go around the world frantically making what he does here is enough for me to laugh hysterically over the nearly 3 minutes this short runs. I read this first appeared before Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels back in December but I arrived a little late then so today was the very first time I've watched this short which we barely managed to see after arriving late for the previews. So in other words, I highly enjoyed Scrat's Continental Crack-Up especially in 3-D.

Scrat and his inanimate sidekick go on their next mini adventure into the unknown. It's got it all- drama, comedy, action and a fair amount of Scrat's yelping to boot. Will he finally get his nut and retire happy?There's just something about this lovable creature and his never ending quest that always makes me smile. Not his best one but definitely worth a watch for a couple of good moments. Can't go wrong with a 3 min short can you!Even if it wasn't meant to be originally, he is easily the best thing in the Ice Age films and I hope when the next one comes out for the summer blockbusters of 2012 he gets as much screen time as the last one.For further reviews feel free to check out: http://www.fanaticalaboutfilms.com

Scrat and his beloved hazelnut "help" our planet take the shape we know today. It's quite a funny reel. I gave it a 10, but others might be more "critical" as it may not be the funniest Scrat appearance. These mini-clips are always enjoyable and seem to get their job done - making you wanna see the movie. (They worked on me, as I got to see them all *lol*) I think the first movie was just great (a fun, well-made animation with a good story). The sequel was also nice, but didn't quite rise up to the level of it's predecessor. The third one, I enjoyed the most. Perhaps because it introduced Scratte and it looked really cool with 3D glasses. Hope the next Ice Age will be even funnier than the previous ones. (Go Scrat!)
