Following a teaser last week and after playing in theaters with The Peanuts Movie in theaters this weekend, you can now watch Blue Sky Studios‘ new Ice Age short, titled Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe, in the player below!
Scrat journeys where no Ice Age character has gone before in Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe. The consequences of Scrat’s antics are always momentous, and this time he’s creating his own version of the Big Bang.
“He basically rearranges the solar system to become the one we know of today,” said producer Lori Forte of the short’s story to USA Today. “The thing we love most about Scrat is his perseverance and always getting knocked down and always getting back up, all with the single focus of getting or burying his nut. He’s very Chaplin-esque in a way, that dignity (where) there’s always another chance and never gives up no matter what happens to him. But (Scrat’s) just so delightful because he’s also a little bit of a departure. Our ‘Ice Age’ characters are rooted a little more realistically, and we can do anything with Scrat.”
Scrat’s epic pursuit of the elusive acorn catapults him into the universe where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that transform and threaten the Ice Age World. To save themselves, Sid, Manny, Diego, and the rest of the herd must leave their home and embark on a quest full of comedy and adventure, traveling to exotic new lands and encountering a host of colorful new characters. Ice Age: Collision Course, opening in theaters everywhere July 22, 2016, stars returning cast members Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, Simon Pegg, Keke Palmer, Wanda Sykes, and Jennifer Lopez. Joining the herd are Stephanie Beatriz, Adam DeVine, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield, Jessie J, Nick Offerman, Melissa Rauch, Michael Strahan and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
