I've always like this intro because it reminds me of being in a Disneyland ride.

New Scrat Short!

Last year in the middle of production on Rio, Blue Sky needed some animators to help animate a new Scrat short.  I submitted my name and was lucky enough get the chance to animate this little guy on a few shots!  
I remember seeing this little guy on the first Ice Age trailer back in 2001, how cartoony and pushed and Warner Brothersy he was!
Fast forward 10 years and getting to animate him was so much fun, liberating, and I'm even more fond of him now.  I hope I get to animate him more on our next film!!! Exclamation points!
