Scrat's Continental Crack-up is a computer-animated 2-part short film starring Scrat. It is the 4th short film in the Ice Age franchise and serves as a teaser for Ice Age: Continental Drift. It was released in 3D with the Jack Black movie Gulliver's Travels on December 25^th, 2010,^[1] and released on iTunes Trailers on January 6^th, 2011.

The short is a parody of continental drift (an idea previously seen in Gone Nutty), and centers on a humorous alternative explanation for the creation of the continents.

PlotEdit

Scrat is still floating on his ice float when he spots an island. He rows to the island and takes a rest at the bottom of a coconut tree. Scrat sees the skeleton of another Scrat. He is scared and then hides. Later, he investigates the skeleton. He follows the Scrat's arm and sees an acorn very deep under water. Scrat then comes up with a plan. The plan being to jump into the water while holding a rock to make him heavy enough to sink quickly. On the way down, he lost his nose and his body becomes very thin due to the crushing pressure.

He picks up the acorn and realizes it's only half an acorn. He sees the back of the acorn, which has a picture of map to the giant acorn. He runs out of oxygen and starts to float downwards. Suddenly a marlin skeleton got the acorn map. Scrat is pulled by it and crashes into seaweeds, a salmon and a crab.

Then the short ends.

GoofsEdit

• After Scrat comes out of the Earth, the countries are shown moving away. A few countries are not shown, such as the British Isles.
• When Scrat is chasing his acorn, it goes behind him, and changes direction, but right before his tail gets caught, he's facing the opposite direction.
• When the continent breaks and creates Africa, the giraffes are at both of its sides instead of the land that is later supposed to be Africa.
