MartinHafer GONE NUTTY stars the cute little mouse-like thing from ICE AGE and consists of the many funny and painful things this guy does to try to break open this acorn. Clever writing take a very simple idea and milk the very most from it.How can anyone NOT like this cute little short that accompanied the release of ICE AGE?! This Fox short is amazingly good and quite comparable to products coming from Pixar and Dreamworks--in fact, I think it was much more enjoyable than the competition for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film from Pixar (BOUNDIN')--mostly because although BOUNDIN' was well animated, the story itself wasn't great. And that is where GONE NUTTY really excels. I remember the first time I saw it in the theater--lots of people were laughing out loud and that should be a good reason for considering this film for the Oscar. While it did lose to the very imaginative and weird HARVIE KRUMPET, the makers of this film have nothing to complain about--GONE NUTTY was a lovely short as was KRUMPET. Both are well worth your time.

ccthemovieman-1 This also is known as "Scrat's Missing Adventure." Scrat's obsession with his having his nuts organized just right turns out to be his undoing in this crazy animated short, included in the "Ice Age DVD."This little squirrel became a big hit in the feature film and was awarded with a much bigger role in the sequel. He's now part of the Ice Age gang, if you will. This bonus short shows that he had built up quite a collection of acorns in a hollow tree. But, for some strange reason - call it "perfectionism," that last acorn won't stay put where it is supposed to be. It keeps popping out. Instead of just leaving it as it is, which wouldn't have changed anything, Scrat goes out of his way to make it all look good.....and disaster is the result.What happens when his little nest of acorns is disrupted is too wild to describe here. It has to be seen to be believed. Of course, it's outrageous but it's a cartoon, and it is fun to watch. P.S. I viewed it a second time after writing the above review....and enjoyed it even more. This time I really appreciated all the funny noises Chris Wedge made, as Scat the squirrel.

emasterslake The squirrel you knew from Ice Age is in his very own short film.Gone Nutty, is all about Scrat and his collection of Acorns.Which will lead him to danger and a world of hurt.Gone Nutty is clever and humorous.And has a funny ending.It's done by the same people who did Ice Age with the same animation.Chris Wedge does the voice for Scrat as he did in the movie.It's worth seeing for 5 minutes for those who like Scrat and Ice Age.I have nothing else to say about it.But you're able to see this short on the Ice Age DVD.

rbverhoef The first time we met the character Scrat was in the trailer of 'Ice Age'. In that film he was one of my favorite characters and here he returns for 'Gone Nutty', a hilarious animated short. Scrat is collecting acorns but the last one keeps popping out of the stash he has already collected. We understand that Scrat will get in some trouble. Although the main event is predictable, the way the short plays from there is very original.The trailer for 'Ice Age' seemed a animated short on itself as well; it was very funny. 'Ice Age' was also very funny and 'Gone Nutty' continues on the same funny level. I laughed a lot during this little film and while doing that I was also admiring the beautiful animation. One of the best animated shorts I have seen and finally one that is not made by Pixar Animation Studios.
