The final animation of Blue Sky Studios unveils Ice Age's Scrat eating his acorn, at last, enjoying his spoils before moving on to another adventure.

Meanwhile, it is to mention that the sabre-toothed squirrel is starting a new adventure. Now, as their final act, the Blue Sky Studio finally let Scrat get his wish. When Disney completed its acquisition of 20th Century Fox, it shuttered Blue Sky Studios - the company behind the Ice Age franchise.

Thank you, from the bottom of our collective Blue Sky hearts, for being with us all these years." The studios took the time to make one last clip to say goodbye. Blue Sky Studios, the makers of the Ice Age films, closed its doors in 2021.

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.

Blue Sky Studios was founded in 1987 as a company specializing in visual effects for commercial products. For the entire Ice Age franchise, Scrat always showed up as comic relief, as animators thought up the most bizarre ways to prevent the squirrel from getting a nice meal. The 30-second film serves as an official farewell from the team at Blue Sky Studios, which got shut down by Disney two years after the company acquired 21st Century Fox assets in 2019.

And through it all, for two decades, a so-ugly-he's-cute saber-toothed squirrel has been trying to get his grubby mitts on an acorn. Through teaser trailers, ...

The animators released this video on the same day that a new Scrat Tales miniseries, comprised of shorts that were produced by the Blue Sky animators prior to the shutdown, premiered on Disney+. Catharsis! The video’s description reads, “In the final days of Blue Sky Studios, a small team of artists came together to do one final shot. Through teaser trailers, sequels, and a video game, we grew up watching Scrat, the breakout mascot of the Ice Age franchise, get his furry ass handed to him in pursuit of his humble goal.
