Scrat's Continental Crack-Up is a computer-animated short film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox . The film is an offshoot of Ice Age and is about Scrat and was shown as a supporting film for Gulliver's Travels - Something big is ahead of us, both in 2D and in 3D in the cinema screenings. Since Gullivers Reisen was only released in German cinemas in 2011, Scrat's Continental Crack-Up was also released in 2011.
action
The croissant Scrat lived in the Ice Age . The movie begins with Scrat sniffing the ice sheet of a mountain to find a place to safely hide his acorn. When he tries to stick it in the ice, a crack opens. So Scrat takes the glans out again and locks the ice with snow to prevent worse.
On his second attempt he fails again - although he does it more cautiously. This time, however, the ice breaks and the mountain divides. Scrat falls down, past the dinosaur Rudy and his rider Buck, in the underground jungle. He tries to hold on to the rock wall, but the friction causes his paws to glow. When he tries to blow it out, he gets caught in a fireball. Scrat flies over the earth's crust , through the earth's mantle down to the earth's core , which turns out to be a solid metal core.
You can then see the earth from space as it looked a long time ago. Scrat tries to get to his head, but it rolls away from him. To get hold of it, Scrat runs off, but the acorn continues to roll too. The continents are created in their current form: first Australia , then Africa .
When this continent separates, the giraffes eat the tree leaves from the separating continents. But they have to stretch their necks further and further so that mutations occur. When Europe emerges, the boot Italy plays a ball-shaped island between Europe and Africa - then a gate call sounds.
Scrat loses his balance and begins to skid, so that he repeatedly hits between an equally solid mantle and the core of the earth. As a result, structures such as the Great Sphinx of Giza were built . Back in balance he catches the glans.
His body gets caught in the core and his head flings it with his arms and the nut against the rocky mantle of the earth. Eventually the core stops turning, but Scrat's elastic body then turns it back in the other direction. It flies out of the earth's interior into the sky, whereby the continents are still being formed.
When landing, it falls headlong onto a lonely ice floe in the sea. The impact separates it - on one side the glans, on the other Scrat. In the final scene, Scrat desperately tries to get his head.
background
The film was both marketing for Gulliver's Travels - Big Things Coming Up ahead and Ice Age 4: Fully Postponed , which hit theaters in 2012. The sequel Scrat's Continental Crack-Up: Part 2 , both of which were built into the completed film, is also used as a preview for the latter film .
