When Chris Wedge's animated film "Ice Age" first came out in 2002, it was considered novel and striking for many reasons. It was set in prehistoric times yet eschewed dinosaurs in favor of megafauna living in the Pleistocene Epoch. The three main characters were a sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo), a smilodon named Diego (Denis Leary), and a mammoth named Manfred aka Manny (Ray Romano), and they were engaged in a great migration to flee the oncoming Ice Age. The plot of their first movie apes John Ford's 1946 Western "3 Godfathers," as the three animals discover a human infant that they must keep safe and deliver back to the then-evolutionarily-novel homo sapiens living nearby.
The design of "Ice Age" was striking, aiming for broad, stylized characters that were markedly different from the friendly, big-eyed protagonists of Disney pictures. It certainly helped that the "Ice Age" movies featured a character named Scrat,...

Debuting on Disney+ on April 13, 2022, is "Ice Age: Scrat Tails," a new animated series featuring everyone's favorite mute squirrel rat creature from the "Ice Age" animated film series.

Coyote and Roadrunner short films from 1949 to 1964. "Scrat Tails," in incorporating Scrat's child,...

So cuteee!!! Disney has revealed an official trailer for Ice Age: Scrat Tales, their spin-off series focusing on the hapless saber-toothed squirrel and his family. This is similar to the Pixar spin-off Disney series Dug Days, focusing on the lovable doggo from that movie. We all know Scrat as he has been in numerous short films / intros to various Blue Sky Ice Age movies over the last two decades. Now he has his own series on Disney+! Even though he is originally a creation of Blue Sky Studios, which shut down after Disney bought Fox (which included Blue Sky). "Discover the nuttiness of parenthood." Ice Age: Scrat Tales features six all-new animated shorts starring Scrat, who experiences the ups and downs of fatherhood.
