Will Scrat the squirrel be in ‘The Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild’?
We’re sure everyone will be wanting to know whether Scrat, the iconic acorn-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel will be making a comeback in this film. So far, the fan-favorite has been in all five Ice Age films, including a number of spin-offs.
His love for acorns seems to be more of a curse, rather than a blessing as his obsession has caused some cataclysmic events. From creating The Solar System and sinking Scratlantis to wiping out all life on Mars, he’s sure been through a lot to get his hands on an acorn!
At the moment, there’s been no information revealed on whether Scrat will be making his return in this film, but due to his sheer popularity we’re sure he will make an appearance.
