Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade

Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade (2016) is a 25-minute animated short for the whole family — watch it online on iFILM. Director Ricardo Curtis pits the herd against a pirate rabbit named Squint, who steals every egg Sid ever agreed to babysit and scatters them across the prehistoric landscape.

Sid's egg-sitting business was going surprisingly well. Then Squint showed up, camouflaged the eggs beyond recognition, and turned the whole situation into a chase. Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary), Queen Latifah's Ellie, and the rest of the crew race to recover the clutch before it's too late — guided, awkwardly, by Squint's own twin brother.

The short explains how the Easter egg hunt was invented — at least according to Blue Sky Studios. Fast, funny, and short enough to watch twice. Stream Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade on iFILM.
