Sound
Chris Wedge's unhinged vocal performance — no actual words needed.
Editing

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first Ice Age short theatrically released, premiering before Elf in 2003. Scrat's pain is officially holiday tradition.
Director Carlos Saldanha based Scrat's sounds on his own stressed noises while directing. Method animation, truly.
