Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel finally gets to have his precious nut in a short scene devised in the dying days of Blue Sky Studios.

Scrat himself has also reappeared on Disney’s streaming service in Scrat Tales, a series of shorts developed before Blue Sky’s closure that center on the squirrel becoming a father. It has somehow been 20 years since audiences first witnessed the adventures of Manny, Sid, Diego, and all the rest of the Ice Age crew. It has gained a lot of traction on social media from fans who remember laughing at the slapstick squirrel and his perilous journeys.

Scrat Finally Gets the Acorn in Final Blue Sky Studios Animation (MovieWeb)

A team of Blue Sky staffers has released a final animated short as a way of saying farewell to the fans after the studio's shutdown.

It’s truly the end of an era for Blue Sky Studios, but for the talented and hard-working people that made it something special, it’s an unforgettable chapter in an ongoing story. What makes this short so memorable, and bittersweet, is that it’s a perfect bookend to the very first shot from a Blue Sky Studios feature film, 2002’s Ice Age. Twenty years ago, audiences were introduced to the sabertoothed squirrel as he trotted on screen for the first time and began looking for a spot to hide his acorn. The Ice Age itself should have a presence. Since his introduction, audiences were hooked on the little squirrel/rat as he faced all levels of bad luck and adversaries. The little guy has struggled with glaciers, lightning, crumbling earth, and just about every representative of the elements has been against him. A year after Blue Sky Studios was officially shut down, the studio released one final hurrah.
