The story
Scrat experiences the ups and downs of fatherhood, as he and the adorable, mischievous Baby Scrat, alternately bond with each other and battle for ownership of the highly treasured Acorn.
Ice Age: Scrat Tales recap
Six short, dialogue-free episodes follow Scrat after he discovers a baby Scrat and decides to raise him. The problem is the acorn: the baby wants it as much as Scrat does. Scrat tries to steal it from the sleeping baby without waking him, since a tantrum could set off an avalanche. He pretends to teach the baby to plant it, though the lesson is really a trap that backfires. The two find that their reflections come to life when no one is looking, and a baby dodo steals the acorn and leaves father and son balancing on a log over a drop.
Ice Age: Scrat Tales ending explained
In the last episode, "Nut the End", the acorn vanishes and Scrat and his son seem to settle into peace. Scrat dies of old age, but as his ghost rises he discovers the disappearance was the baby's trick, and he goes back into his old body for revenge. Scrat and his son return in Ice Age: Boiling Point.
