scrat

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2007)

I just read badidosh's post and i thought it was pretty accurate for the most part, except for one thing- he mentions that ice age 2 features more and more scenes of Scrat because the plot itself is too weak and short, and that his futile chase of the acorn is irrelevant to the plot. Well, let's not forget that near the end, when the valley's about to flood, right after Manny frees Ellie the whole gang sits atop a quickly sinking rock, then Sid goes "we're gonna die!", meanwhile scrat climbs up a huge glacier with his acorn, he punches enough holes into the glacier so that it splits in two, letting all the water out of the valley, which is what saved Manny and the gang from drowning. So I'd say the whole Scrat-and-the-acorn deal is very much relevant, because it turns out that the annoying little racoon actually saves everyone in the end, he ends up being the hero. without his elusive acorn, of course. Also, his in-between scenes serve as well-timed intermissions from the rest of the characters.
