The storylines, wondrous Ice Age settings, comedic scenes and fantastic characters have enthralled both young and old Ice Age fans in our household, making the films favourites to watch again and again. One Ice Age character that we all love to see is Scrat.

The iconic character of Scrat is a wonderful addition to the films. We all love seeing the clips showing Scrat on his desperate adventures to retrieve his beloved acorn. As we see him battle against humorous misfortune that keeps him from his treasured acorn we have all his nutty character and hilarious misadventures charmingly funny and adorable. 

As we all love the unique, nutty character of Scrat we were delighted to hear the news that he would be given the starring role in his own platform game - Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure. Our excitement about this new game was amped up when it was announced that the game would be released on Friday the 18th October .
