The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I saw this for the second time recently, before RIO (I'd seen it New Year's Day before GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, as well) and rated it 7 out of 10 (again, though quite independent of my first impression, since which a little water has gone over the dam, including Asia's Continental Crack-up). Scrat was hilarious BOTH times.However, during my more recent viewing (with a different audience make-up, of course), there happened to be a group behind me who were "tsk-tsk'ing" to their young children off and on during this short cartoon's 2 minute, 39 second running time. Evidently, the parents thought that the theory of continental drift had something to do with Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Or perhaps they took exception to the toon's depiction of the world being round (not flat).At any rate, when I first saw Scrat's science lesson, it never occurred to me that many folks of the fundamentalist religious persuasion might be vocally offended by seeing a hint of actual science. Maybe foisting such provocative material upon a "captive audience" expecting to be paying for pretty bird antics was another insidious plot by Hollywood J--I mean, Hollywood atheists. I still don't think this gives the intolerant boo-birds the right to disrupt the movie-going experience for those of us who actually live in the 21st century with both halves of our brains. Therefore, an urgent plea to parents: if you go to church in either a converted grocery store or a sold-out 5,000 fan arena, please show up 2 minutes and 39 seconds LATE for RIO!! You'll be doing a favor not only for yourself, but also for the rest of us!

I quite like the Ice Age films, they are colourful and entertaining with good characters, wit and voice acting. Scrat's Continental Crack-Up was really quite impressive, while I personally think the short could have been a tad longer, I was really taken with how much I was entertained in such a short running time.The story is a very simple one, but you don't mind that at all when it goes at a great pace, while the animation is very good with great backgrounds, colours and designs of the characters and the content of the short is constantly very funny sometimes even hilarious for both kids and adults.Scrat himself is a big part of the cartoon's success. He is so cute, funny and zany, and one of my favourite characters in the Ice Age films, and his character(persona, facial expressions and yelps) and misadventures here ceaselessly delight.All in all, a very entertaining short and perfect to go with the Ice Age films. For Scrat fans, they will probably find they have a match made in heaven with Scrat's Continental Crack-Up. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This short animation is about Scrat and him ferociously guarding his nut, resulting in the world we know today.It seems Scrat is widely loved, and people do not get tired of him. So there is a new short animation, and it is very funny. The plot is simple, as yo would expect from an animation that is only three minutes long. And yet, it has unlimited imagination that makes you smile.So, Scrat's mindless action is responsible in shaping the world we know today. Not only in the geographical sense, but the heritage and cultural sense as well. Who knew a squirrel could achieve so much in so little time?

A beautiful concept well executed with help of animation.. If world comes to an end and we loose all traces of science except this video.. Scrat will be the creator of Earth...Best Scenes Of this Video 1. Mummy Sculpture Of Scrat Pops Up 2. Scrats sculpture similar to Rushmore 3. Scrat again misses its acorn in the end.I was always a fan of scrat and Ice Age. Makes me eager to see the next sequel in 3D with eye-popping effects.. Scrat is ultimate in this work of art.Way to go Creators Of Ice Age
