Scrat's Continental Crack-up

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

As much as Ice Age happens to be my favourite film of all time (the first one—the rest were terrible) (can you tell I don't like movies all that much?), I'm not seeing any independent coverage on this one. At least, nothing critical; there's the usual roundabout of various organizations prefacing with basic material (this is a film, it is by these people, it is this long), but nothing in the way of actual coverage. The article seems to reflect that as well. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, definitely doesn't seem to meet notability. Better suited for a small subheader in the article for the franchise.  LittleLazyLass  (Talk | Contributions) 00:35, 3 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Although I found a few websites talking about this short, most of them, as per nom, offer nothing up in terms of critical review. This website mentions the short and its appearance in Ice Age 4, but the article is mostly about Scrat rather than the short. No critical review of the short itself is provided. This one is just promotional junk. Again, similar to the other two, this website discusses Ice Age 4 coming to theaters, then gives a link to watch the short as well as a synopsis at the end of the article. Even this Wall Street Journal article offers no critical review and essentially just states that you can now watch it free of charge. The closest it comes to any type of critical review is “Now you can watch the short free of charge--and without having to see Jack Black trash Swift's masterpiece. Enjoy.” Jobie James (talk) 04:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Christ, [more promotional junk. Admittedly though, this site hilariously says that “I’m pretty sure this short film is the closest any Ice Age property has ever come to being genuinely educational. Ok, granted, the short does seem to mistakenly intimate that the faces on Mt. Rushmore and the Sphinx are some sort of naturally occurring phenomenon, but show this to your kids and they might actually learn something about the composition of the Earth’s crust and even get some idea of how continents were formed. It’s easy to imagine this being shown in some third grade classroom. Educate the next generation with cartoon violence. This can only end well. I approve.” [[User:WikiJoeBee|Jobie James]] (talk) 04:29, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
