The Nut Job

The Nut Job (2014) is an animated family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Surly, a selfish purple squirrel, gets thrown out of the city park and has to fend for himself on the streets with winter closing in.

The hungry outcast gets one wild stroke of luck: he finds a shop stacked to the ceiling with nuts. For a rodent that's a gold mine, so Surly and his rat sidekick Buddy start plotting the heist of the century. Trouble is, the whole park crew wants a cut too, led by the cautious Raccoon. None of the animals realize the store is just a front — underneath it, a gang of human crooks is tunneling toward the bank next door.

Will Arnett voices Surly, Liam Neeson plays his rival Raccoon, and Katherine Heigl is the brave squirrel Andie. A Canadian, American and Korean co-production, it runs a brisk 85 minutes, just right for younger viewers, and rapper PSY even turns up before the credits. Stream The Nut Job (2014) online on iFILM.
