Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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

A beautiful concept well executed with help of animation.. If world comes to an end and we loose all traces of science except this video.. Scrat will be the creator of Earth...Best Scenes Of this Video 1. Mummy Sculpture Of Scrat Pops Up 2. Scrats sculpture similar to Rushmore 3. Scrat again misses its acorn in the end.I was always a fan of scrat and Ice Age. Makes me eager to see the next sequel in 3D with eye-popping effects.. Scrat is ultimate in this work of art.Way to go Creators Of Ice Age
