Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This description applies to the acorns in this 5-minute animated short film by Carlos Saldanha ("Rio"), but also to the movie in general. "Gone Nutty" came out directly after the first of so far 4 "Ice Age" films, but it's really not particularly memorable. The animation, of course, is top-notch. The ice, the central character, the acorns - everything well done. Unfortunately, this cannot make up for the lack of a real story or great comedy in these 5 minutes. The only sort-of funny moment was when they showed the creation of the continents near the end. But other than that, it's a fairly forgettable short film. Then again, I may be a bit biased because I have never been too big on Scrat. Also, where did he get all these acorns in his storage. I thought he always fails to keep them. Anyway, I do not recommend this short film and I am actually quite surprised it managed an Academy Award nomination. Glad to see the far superior "Harvie Krumpet" took the prize.

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'.

This also is known as "Scrat's Missing Adventure." Scrat's obsession with his having his nuts organized just right turns out to be his undoing in this crazy animated short, included in the "Ice Age DVD."This little squirrel became a big hit in the feature film and was awarded with a much bigger role in the sequel. He's now part of the Ice Age gang, if you will. This bonus short shows that he had built up quite a collection of acorns in a hollow tree. But, for some strange reason - call it "perfectionism," that last acorn won't stay put where it is supposed to be. It keeps popping out. Instead of just leaving it as it is, which wouldn't have changed anything, Scrat goes out of his way to make it all look good.....and disaster is the result.What happens when his little nest of acorns is disrupted is too wild to describe here. It has to be seen to be believed. Of course, it's outrageous but it's a cartoon, and it is fun to watch. P.S. I viewed it a second time after writing the above review....and enjoyed it even more. This time I really appreciated all the funny noises Chris Wedge made, as Scat the squirrel.

Despite his struggles in the film Ice Age, Scrat has managed to fill a hollow tree with his precious nuts. Ever the hoarder, Scrat tries to squeeze another nut into the tree but his greed soon becomes his undoing.Scrat was the focus of the trailer I saw for this movie, and was a really good little running joke all the way through the film, so to have his own short was both a risk (can he do it himself) and a benefit (his stuff was funny!). Happily the plot simply sees an extension of his Ice Age role of chasing nuts etc. Here the action is expanded and is actually pretty funny.The short running time is just right as the one basic joke can't be told repeatedly over a longer time without fatigue setting in. As it is, the film just manages to do enough stuff with the nuts to keep it funny without wearing out it's welcome. The final punchline is a real exaggeration but is also very funny!Overall I doubt this will stand up to repeated viewings (unless you're one of the toddlers I watched it with), but it is still a funny addition to the film.
