It’s truly the end of an era for Blue Sky Studios, but for the talented and hard-working people that made it something special, it’s an unforgettable chapter in an ongoing story. What makes this short so memorable, and bittersweet, is that it’s a perfect bookend to the very first shot from a Blue Sky Studios feature film, 2002’s Ice Age. Twenty years ago, audiences were introduced to the sabertoothed squirrel as he trotted on screen for the first time and began looking for a spot to hide his acorn. The Ice Age itself should have a presence. Since his introduction, audiences were hooked on the little squirrel/rat as he faced all levels of bad luck and adversaries. The little guy has struggled with glaciers, lightning, crumbling earth, and just about every representative of the elements has been against him. A year after Blue Sky Studios was officially shut down, the studio released one final hurrah.
