Ice Age 6 has finally been announced, and while it's exciting, I really hope that the upcoming sequel doesn't ruin Scrat's happy ending. Despite the fact that the saber-toothed squirrel rarely has anything to do with the main plot of the films, Scrat The Ice Agea very iconic character, with many antics he goes through while trying to make his acorn funny. While Scrat may seem like nothing more than a funny side character, he's actually given a happy ending, and I really hope that Ice Age 6 this does not remove him.
Almost ten years after the release of Ice Age: Collision Coursefor the sixth time The Ice Age movie has been officially announced, and the upcoming sequel is set to bring the gang back to another prehistoric scene. Sid actor John Leguizamo said that work is about to begin Ice Age 6highlighting that Disney plans to continue the iconic animated franchise despite the closure of Blue Sky Studiosthe animation company behind franchises like The Ice Age, Rioagain The Peanuts Movie. This is exciting news for me and others The Ice Age fans, although it makes me worry about Scrat.
Scrat Gets His Acorn and Happy Ending in 2022
In Blue Sky Studios' Final Cut
Scrat's desire to find his acorn was the character's driving force throughout The Ice Age franchise, he also gets into various cartoon traps in all of the big five The Ice Age films and various spinoffs and short films. Although Scrat never managed to find his acorn in the main line The Ice Age film, he finally got what he wanted in 2022.
After the closure of Blue Sky Studios, the company released one final shot in 2022 before going out of business. This short film brought viewers back to the world of The Ice Ageas it is a short story about Scrat. In the cartoon, Scrat finally manages to find his acorn, ending his ten-year quest to find the item. I think this was the perfect way for Blue Sky Animation to say goodbye, ending the company's mascot and a very popular franchise. However, I am concerned that this impact may be lost with the announcement of Ice Age 6.
Ice Age 6 Can't Bring Scrat Back Without Ruining His Happy Ending
It will take taking His acorn from Him
Given that Scrat is the mascot of The Ice Age franchise, it would be strange if he didn't come back Ice Age 6. However, I have a feeling that it will not happen Ice Age 6 to bring him back without ruining his happy ending. In all of them The Ice Age franchise, Scrat's character is defined entirely by his pursuit of his acorn, with not much else to him. Because of this, his return to Ice Age 6 it may indicate the return of his pursuit of the acorn, removing the closure of the last short Blue Sky Studios gave him.
That is entirely possible Ice Age 6 I can try to come up with something else for Scrat to do. However, this would risk alienating fans and taking away one of the main reasons for the first five The Ice Age the films were successful. The mere appearance of an acorn has been closely associated with The Ice Age franchise, so trying to replace it with something else for Scrat to chase would take away one of the biggest pieces of the series' graphics. This is a difficult situation Ice Age 6 being in the middle, and I don't know how to bring him back while maintaining this balance.
Ice Age 6 Is Better To Leave Scrat Out
& Honoring Blue Sky's Legacy
Because of how difficult it would be to bring back Scrat, I think it's better Ice Age 6 leaving Scrat out. The character has already come to an endand it can be the best option Ice Age 6 replacing Scrat with a new character rather than trying to force him back into this sequence.
The main reason I think Scrat should be left out, however, has to do with the legacy of Blue Sky Studios. Scrat was BlueSky's mascot, and Disney closing Blue Sky while continuing to operate its huge franchise leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Disney's decision not to bring back Scrat will at least show that it is not continuing the company's mascot, making the sequel seem more respectful. However, I doubt that this will happen, and this mystery continues until there is more information about Ice Age 6 finally revealed.
