So long folks!
As funny as it is, my kids are obsessed with the Ice Age franchise and argue over which one we are going to watch. My youngest, the daughter, like loves Ice Age “Rawr” (Dawn of the Dinos) while my son prefers “Just Ice Age” (the original)
I am today years old when I learned he finally gets the Acorn.
Why do I feel sad?
Scrat finally got the acorn, after all these years☺️
Good for Scrat but sad for me.
It’s ok, you can rest now…
Omg… He finally got the acorn 😭😭 Why am I so emotional about this lol
​
This is the definition of bittersweet lol. At least we won’t have any climate changing natural disasters
(Right?)
Damn i guess my childhood really is over
Edit: I really let this get to 500 upvotes before noticing the grammar error lol
Clearly expecting something awful to happen to him the entire time. Poor little guy.
Wait the studio ended?
Looked forward to that little fucker before every movie…*pours one for the homie.
20 years?! I feel old now
Closure. Thank you.
I didn’t realize how complete this would make me feel
r/mademecry
After all these years
Scrat was an animation phenomenon
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
I just still don’t understand why they need to shut down what is main reason for this?
Damn I got my start in the animation industry as an intern at bluesky. I was there when Disney started taking over and everyone knew it was kind of coming to an end. Rip.
WHY DIDN’T HE PUT ON THE HAT
I sent this to my dad, saying how bittersweet it is. 20 yrs ago he took me to see the first ice age… he says “Life moves on. More acorns to chase🐿”
I watched the first one about 30 times over a 6 month period with my little bro. We actually got it as an Easter gift and I remember that day just chilling with my little bros, eating candy on a nice evening with a happy family all around doing their own thing. Good times.
Scrat finally getting his acorn feels weird. Like he’s just a normal squirrel now. Thats makes me big sad.
Good job Skrat. You EARNED that. Fuckin so happy for you man
This also marks the sad end of blue sky studios the people who pioneered CG for 30 years. Most notable creation’s include ice age, Rio and robots and many more.
Shit, didn’t realize Disney shut them down in 2021

Hopefully they got severance and/or relocation assistance. Interesting article here on Connecticut tax credits for Blue Skys: [https://www.wshu.org/connecticut-news/2022-01-10/connecticut-officials-evaluate-whether-costly-tax-credits-to-film-companies-are-worth-it](https://www.wshu.org/connecticut-news/2022-01-10/connecticut-officials-evaluate-whether-costly-tax-credits-to-film-companies-are-worth-it)
The feeling of completing a lifelong mission and not knowing what to do afterwards is almost palpable here. The fact that Scrat just keeps existing and moving forward after a brief second of contemplation really displays that he’s pretty well aquatinted with loss. Happiness is fleeting, and this animated squirrel from our childhood handles it better than most.
That will do, Squirrel. That will do.
I mean, this guy gets his own [animated short](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFwJJywzbDs) on the 13th April this year…
He….ate…the shell….
I don’t think animals eat the shell???
