Watch Gone Nutty For Free

hyped garbage

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Gone Nutty, short film that is included as an extra on the DVD of Ice Age (and that was nominated for the Oscar), short film featuring the, sometimes, hilarious squirrel Scrat. Certainly it is just the story of its life: is Scrat with lots of acorns but with a problem, eventually is Scrat with only one acorn yet finally with only a sort of beret, no acorn. I wouldn't say this is absolutely hilarious, for me this isn't very special (just like Ice Age itself) but still it's good stuff, with the hilarious stuff of the continental drift theory! Certainly it's far from being as good as any of the best Pixar shorts but surely it's better than a short like Pixar's Boundin'.

The squirrel you knew from Ice Age is in his very own short film.Gone Nutty, is all about Scrat and his collection of Acorns.Which will lead him to danger and a world of hurt.Gone Nutty is clever and humorous.And has a funny ending.It's done by the same people who did Ice Age with the same animation.Chris Wedge does the voice for Scrat as he did in the movie.It's worth seeing for 5 minutes for those who like Scrat and Ice Age.I have nothing else to say about it.But you're able to see this short on the Ice Age DVD.

This short is absolutely delightful and follows Scrat through a personal catastrophe to a rather dramatic (if improbable) conclusion with far-reaching consequences for life on our little mote in the eye of the universe. I wonder what my various geology teachers would have thought of this particular "explanation" for the cause of the Continental Drift Theory. I personally would love for it to be true! Or at least something equally slapstick in nature. Great little cartoon with excellent visual detail. Well worth watching. Recommended.

Like many of it's animated colleagues, Ice Age starts off with a wonderful short film, this time one which was even better known than the rest of the film before it was released. You may remember seeing previews for Ice Age that were made up entirely of footage from Scrat's Missing Adventure, which is probably the most entertaining and amusing short animated film I've ever seen. There is something to be said when a movie like Drop Zone or even a James Bond film like Moonraker can so badly screw up the concept of skydiving, and then a short children's film like this makes the effort to portray it so accurately (with the obvious exception of all that nut gathering business, of course).I have heard that Scrat was originally meant to play a much larger role in the film, which was to be centered around him as the main character, but other characters were brought in under the demand for a more large scale motion picture. Thankfully, Scrat makes several much-welcome appearances throughout the film, but this opening sequence still stands as probably the best four minutes of the entire film.
