Ice Age: Scrat Tales

Post by Sotiris »

Unlike The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, this series of shorts was made by Blue Sky Studios before it got shut down.
“Ice Age: Scrat Tales” is a series of six all-new animated shorts starring Scrat, the hapless saber-toothed squirrel of the “Ice Age” adventures, who experiences the ups and downs of fatherhood, as he and the adorable, mischievous Baby Scrat, alternately bond with each other and battle for ownership of the highly treasured Acorn. Featuring the vocal talents of Chris Wedges (Scrat) and Karl Wahlgren (Baby Scrat), the series is produced by Anthony Nisi, with Robert L. Baird and Andrew Millstein serving as executive producers.

The Shorts:

“Nuts About You” – Directed by Michael Berardini and Donnie Long. Story by Michael Berardini.
In “Nuts About You,” Scrat meets his son Baby Scrat and experiences the pure joy of being a new parent—until Baby Scrat sees The Acorn for the first time.

“LoFi Scrat Beats to Sleep/Chill to” – Directed by Donnie Long and Matt Munn. Story by Donnie Long.
In “LoFi Scrat Beats to Sleep/Chill to,” Scrat pounds out a percussive lullaby to get a crying Baby Scrat to fall asleep.

“X’s and Uh-O’s” – Directed by Donnie Long and Drew Winey. Story by James Young Jackson and Drew Winey.
In “X’s and Uh-O’s,” Scrat demonstrates for Baby Scrat how to plant The Acorn, but Scrat is really the one being taught a lesson.

“Nutty Reflections” – Directed by Donnie Long and Eric Prah. Story by Galen Tan Chu.
In “Nutty Reflections,” Scrat and Baby Scrat run after The Acorn into a dark cave, which resembles a creepy funhouse hall of mirrors.

“Teeter Toddler” – Directed by Jeff Gabor and Donnie Long. Story by Galen Tan Chu.
In “Teeter Toddler,” thanks to a dodo bird, Scrat and Baby Scrat end up on opposite sides of a log held up by a single branch.

“Nut The End” – Directed by Lisa Allen Keane and Donnie Long. Story by Michael Thurmeier.
In “Nut The End,” The Acorn goes flying off a cliff. With it seemingly gone forever, can Scrat and Baby Scrat live in harmony?

Feels appropriate that something with Scrat will be one of their last things. It was really the only thing they ever got perfectly right, tbh. The rest of Ice Age, meh, but almost everything with Scrat was memorable.

Though really short, this was kind of excellent. The last episode in particular was laugh out loud funny.

Scrat has always been the most inspired thing about the Ice Age franchise and they really didn’t disappoint with this. Lovely that Blue Sky was able to do what they did best on their last project.

Disney really screwed over Blue Sky, but at least they went out in style. I have no idea how they’d be able to produce more of these but since Disney owns the rights to the franchise anyway I hope a decent team is able to keep Scrat alive in the future.
