Gone Nutty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gone Nutty, also known as "Scrat's missing adventure", is a short film starring Scrat from Ice Age who is yet again having troubles with collecting his beloved acorns.
[edit] Synopsis
It begins with Scrat returning to a huge tree, hollowed out and filled to the brim with acorns. There is one more empty spot in the middle of the acorns where Scrat tries to stuff the last acorn he brought with him. However it pops back out, and when scrat stomps into place the entire tree blows, and every acorn along with scrat is sent sliding down the side of a mountain. The acorns and scrat go into free fall. A short musical scene follows, with scrat collecting acorns as he falls. Eventually Scrat collects and forms a 3-D sphere with the acorns, but then (with scrat on top of it) it tilts upside down so scrat and the acorns finally fall to the icy land down below. There is one lone acorn left in the atmosphere blasting right towards Scrat as fast as a meteorite. It hits Scrat and the extreme force results in continental drift, shaping the Earths continents into their present day form. It has roughly the same story as the trailer at the very beginning of Ice Age. It also pokes fun at the Contiental drift theory.
The film was nominated for the Best Animated Short Oscar at the 2004 Academy Awards.
