It's absolutely precious how many people think 30 is old. I've never once in my entire life thought anything under 60 was old, and these days I wouldn't look at a 60 year old and think "old". I certainly wouldn't call them young, except to say dying at 60 is too young, but I wouldn't call them old.
“The value of art is how it makes you feel.” These artists should be proud to have made something so valuable, to have such an emotional reaction from so many of us. I’m in my 30s and this hits me to, I remember when the original came out when I was a kid. It may just be animation, but we made it real in our imaginations.
I was nineteen when this came out and it was actually the first film my partner and I went to see (literally the only thing we could get tickets to). Twenty years later and we are still together and Scrat has always had a place in my heart
True, but don't worry. The further the pendulum swings in one direction, the more force it will gain on the backswing. Art, like life, will find a way.
My mom used to love that little guy. She thought he was so ugly that he was cute, like "that doobie guy from harry potter". Passed a few years ago, but i think this would have made her smile.
Massive part of child hood, end of a never ending story, maybe the look in his eye after finishing it with the hint of panic before hurriedly moving onto to the next part of life. One things for sure..... saw, wanted, got.
Meanwhile, I can't rest because the animators apparently don't know that the nut part of an acorn has a hard outer shell he wouldn't have eaten. Now everyone who watched that has wrong ideas about acorns too!
I dont know if you've ever eaten an Acorn from the Ice Age but they're a staple in my household. The outer shell is much like a soft shell crab. In fact some theologist theorized that the soft shell crab is a not so distance of this ancient acorn sub species. Please don't go around commenting falsehoods and leading the next generation of acorn eaters astray.
FWIW Blue Sky was fighting for ownership of the character from an artist that claimed to have introduced it to the studio before the first film. And upon buying the studio, Disney actually just kinda conceded the fight and the artist won right back a few months ago, so while sad for Blue Sky to go, this was sorta inevitable it sounds like, I have no idea how Disney is releasing a show based on the character now though, hopefully the original artist owner get a paid..
Damn I got my start in the animation industry as an intern at bluesky. I was there when Disney started taking over and everyone knew it was kind of coming to an end. Rip.
As funny as it is, my kids are obsessed with the Ice Age franchise and argue over which one we are going to watch. My youngest, the daughter, like loves Ice Age “Rawr” (Dawn of the Dinos) while my son prefers “Just Ice Age” (the original)
He and his wife eat some fruit together during a wedding reception in the movie Collision Course, even though that’s not something that they should be able to do. But I’m not expecting too much accuracy since, in the same movie, magnetic rocks work like the fountain of youth, those same rocks redirect an asteroid, and Sid gets a girlfriend.
My kids do this too. All Ice Age movies are great except for the last movie. That was hot garbage. I like Meltdown. My kids prefer Dawn of the Dinos. My wife prefers the original because of the baby.
I watched the first one about 30 times over a 6 month period with my little bro. We actually got it as an Easter gift and I remember that day just chilling with my little bros, eating candy on a nice evening with a happy family all around doing their own thing. Good times.
This also marks the sad end of blue sky studios the people who pioneered CG for 30 years. Most notable creation's include ice age, Rio and robots and many more.
The feeling of completing a lifelong mission and not knowing what to do afterwards is almost palpable here. The fact that Scrat just keeps existing and moving forward after a brief second of contemplation really displays that he’s pretty well aquatinted with loss. Happiness is fleeting, and this animated squirrel from our childhood handles it better than most.
I've grown up my whole life wondering about how this small, little creature's story would end. And finally it has. He. Did. It. He flipping did it. He got the acorn. The movie I remember most from my childhood is finished, and finally Scrat, is at peace...

I just still don't understand why they need to shut down what is main reason for this?
