For example... we have http://books.google.com/books?id=ur-5WIq4o0EC&q=%22Scrat%22+-inpublisher:icon&dq=%22Scrat%22+-inpublisher:icon&as_brr=0&ei=2x0hTcHRO5GSNq6MiagN&cd=1 ''Ice Age: The Essential Guide'',  http://books.google.com/books?id=RtodcG8SwIIC&pg=PA217&dq=%22Scrat%22+-inpublisher:icon&as_brr=0&ei=2x0hTcHRO5GSNq6MiagN&cd=4#v=onepage&q=%22Scrat%22%20-inpublisher%3Aicon&f=false ''Cents & Sensibility'', http://books.google.com/books?id=-U3y_SgnQ6kC&pg=PA305&dq=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&hl=en&ei=tx4hTfD5H4aasAPHrrioAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Scrat%22%2C%20%22Ice%20Age%22&f=false ''Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2009'', http://books.google.com/books?id=NLAqAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&dq=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&hl=en&ei=hR8hTbKwCIn0tgOp4PHWAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBDgK ''Film review'', http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/110509845.html?dids=110509845:110509845&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+15%2C+2002&author=Susan+Wloszczyna&pub=USA+TODAY&desc=Scrounging%2C+screeching+Scrat+is+nutty+hit+of+%27Ice+Age%27&pqatl=google ''USA Today'', http://books.google.com/books?id=jD9_0jxVmqUC&pg=PA127&dq=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&hl=en&ei=tx4hTfD5H4aasAPHrrioAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CFcQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=%22Scrat%22%2C%20%22Ice%20Age%22&f=false ''Disney, Pixar, and the hidden messages of children's films'', http://books.google.com/books?id=yJsVjYJMuKcC&pg=PA6&dq=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&hl=en&ei=tx4hTfD5H4aasAPHrrioAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q&f=false ''Ice Age 2: The Movie Novel'', http://books.google.com/books?id=VqaAnj88gKYC&pg=PT181&dq=%22Scrat%22,+%22Ice+Age%22&hl=en&ei=tx4hTfD5H4aasAPHrrioAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CFIQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=%22Scrat%22%2C%20%22Ice%20Age%22&f=false ''Makin' toons: inside the most popular animated TV shows and movies'', and literally dozens of other sources which discuss this character in detail and in depth.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=bks%3A1&q=%22Scrat%22%2C+%22Ice+Age%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=  Impatience with other's |lack of effort is, as was pointed out to me by the nominator himself not too long ago,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MichaelQSchmidt/Archive_015#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FJoe_Hackett a far better reason to |make the effort oneself rather than send to deletion and so force improvement upon others.
