Animators at Blue Sky Studio shared a farewell short film that lets 'Ice Age's Scrat the Squirrel finally get his acorn. Watch now:
In the final days of Blue Sky Studios, the legendary animation studio decided to create a final short film featuring Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel from the Ice Age franchise. The 30-second film serves as an official farewell from the team at Blue Sky Studios, which got shut down by Disney two years after the company acquired 21st Century Fox assets in 2019.
The video opens with an acorn over snowy fields. Soon, Scrat comes into the frame and quickly runs towards the acorn. Scrat warily looks around with his prize in his hands, afraid of what could prevent him from eating the acorn. Fortunately for him, for the first time since Scrat’s introduction to the world, in 2002’s Ice Age, the squirrel happily gets to chew his acorn.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY For the entire Ice Age franchise, Scrat always showed up as comic relief, as animators thought up the most bizarre ways to prevent the squirrel from getting a nice meal. We’ve seen Scrat get beaten by angry animals, buried in an avalanche, and even run from the lava of an erupting volcano.
Blue Sky Studios was one of the assets acquired by Disney in 2019, when the House of the Mouse bought a big chunk of 21st Century Fox through a multi-billion dollar deal. In February 2021, Disney announced that it would be shutting down the animation studio, citing the economic impact of the pandemic. Although Blue Sky Studio officially ceased its activities in April 2021, its franchises still belong to Disney.
