Storyline

Scrat is putting one last acorn into a huge and very neatly arranged stash, but it keeps popping up. He jumps on it -- once too often, and the whole stockpile falls through a knothole in the tree stump. The acorns and Scrat fall a very long way; on the way down, Scrat collects them into a huge ball. Everything hits the ground, and Scrat must pull out of the snow quickly to avoid one last acorn, which is becoming red-hot from the reentry force. It hits the Earth, with a major impact. But at least Scrat has that acorn - or does he?

Very funny

The first time we met the character Scrat was in the trailer of 'Ice Age'. In that film he was one of my favorite characters and here he returns for 'Gone Nutty', a hilarious animated short. Scrat is collecting acorns but the last one keeps popping out of the stash he has already collected. We understand that Scrat will get in some trouble. Although the main event is predictable, the way the short plays from there is very original.

The trailer for 'Ice Age' seemed a animated short on itself as well; it was very funny. 'Ice Age' was also very funny and 'Gone Nutty' continues on the same funny level. I laughed a lot during this little film and while doing that I was also admiring the beautiful animation. One of the best animated shorts I have seen and finally one that is not made by Pixar Animation Studios.
