Horst in Translation ([email protected]) 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.

bob the moo I remember when the first Ice Age film came out, this little character was used to sell the film and audiences watching the trailer featuring him trying to get his acorn seemed to love it. Years later I have not watched the most recent Ice Age films but I still find myself (a grown man) tickled by the short films and adverts given over to Scrat. In this one continental drift sees him and his acorn fall into a deep fissure. How deep? Well, he ends up in the very core of the Earth on the large metallic sphere at the centre. For some this is a bad enough day but sadly for Scrat, this is only the start of his problems.This short is less than 3 minutes including the credits but it is still very funny. Perhaps it is not quite as funny as some of his earlier shorts, but the physical comedy is essentially the same and the exaggerated nature of his plight is too. I chuckled a few times right through to the usual cruel punch line as yet again Scrat is denied the simple pleasures of his acorn. Well animated and with a lovable character, Continetal Crack-Up perhaps isn't the strongest little sequence we've had from this film series, but it is more than good enough to draw quick laughs from adults and children.

tavm 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.

Gordon-11 This short animation is about Scrat and him ferociously guarding his nut, resulting in the world we know today.It seems Scrat is widely loved, and people do not get tired of him. So there is a new short animation, and it is very funny. The plot is simple, as yo would expect from an animation that is only three minutes long. And yet, it has unlimited imagination that makes you smile.So, Scrat's mindless action is responsible in shaping the world we know today. Not only in the geographical sense, but the heritage and cultural sense as well. Who knew a squirrel could achieve so much in so little time?
