10. Will Scrat Ever Eat The Acorn? - Ice Age

The Question:

Will Scrat ever eat that damn acorn? Since the very first Ice Age film in 2002, we've observed the saber-toothed squirrel's single-minded pursuit of his precious acorn, which has resulted in the object of his obsession escaping his grasp again and again.

The Answer:

Fans who've been watching Scrat with great interest over the last 20 (!) years finally got their wish, though it was certainly in bittersweet fashion.

With Ice Age creators Blue Sky Studios being shut down by Disney last year, the studio's animators teamed up to give both Scrat and the series an affecting final farewell.

Blue Sky recently released an unlisted video on YouTube simply called "The End," which showed Scrat embracing his beloved acorn once more, looking around and waiting for chaos to ensue, and then gladly devouring the acorn when nothing stopped him.

Scrat then seems to consider what emptiness his future might hold with the acorn finally consumed, before bouncing off the screen to seek adventure elsewhere.

Considering that Scrat is effectively the franchise mascot, and has proven consistently entertaining even as the Ice Age sequels became increasingly dire, it was unexpectedly affecting to see his quest finally fulfilled.
