The story
A harried prehistoric bird mother entrusts her precious, soon-to-hatch egg to Sid. When she recommends him to her neighbours, business booms at his new egg-sitting service. However, dastardly pirate bunny, Squint, who is seeking revenge on the herd, steals, camouflages and hides all the eggs. Once again, with Squint’s twin brother assisting, Manny, Diego and the rest of the gang come to the rescue and take off on a daring mission that turns into the world’s first Easter egg hunt.
Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade recap
In this 25-minute Easter TV special, set before Collision Course, the herd is getting ready for the holiday and Sid sets up an egg-sitting business. Squint, a pirate rabbit from Captain Gutt's old crew, wants revenge on the herd for sinking Gutt's ship, so he steals every egg in Sid's care and frames him for losing them. Manny and Diego help Sid search, and Squint's lazy brother Clint gives them a map. The eggs turn out to be painted to hide them, and when the herd finds them, one is missing. Squint holds it hostage and demands the herd build him a new ship by the next day. The missing egg, painted to look like an acorn, has been grabbed by Scrat.
Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade ending explained
Clint leads Squint into an ambush, Scrat throws the egg off a cliff when he finds it isn't an acorn, and the herd catches it. Sid beats Squint with the prank Crash and Eddie had set up earlier. The families get their eggs back, and Sid suggests Clint paint and hide eggs every year, making him the first Easter Bunny.
