Scrat has always been a favorite of mine in his short cameos in the other 'Ice Age' movies, it is a nice touch that they made him an ongoing part of the story here. He starts everything off with his obsession for acorns, which first results in the Earth splitting open, and he falls all the way to the rotating core of the Earth. Somehow he manages to reverse the rotation and that results in splitting off of all the continents, "a long, long time ago."
All this causes plate tectonics to shift large sections of the Earth, splitting off families from each other, and most of the story is having them try to find each other again. A new character is introduced, a gnarly old chimp who is a pirate.
All in all a fun story with great voice acting. DVD from my local public library.
