Scrat is a young Saber-Toothed American Squirrel who lives in a private house with Lisa Fremont and her parents. In Ice Age 3 he comes back to the Ice Age, his old home, to meet a new character and love interest: Scratte.

Appearances

Scrat is seen in many scenes in Ice Age 3, competing against Scratte for the acorn and trying to get back home before they let Lisa out from kidnapping.

He is first seen at the beginning of the film, at his house, playing a modern Super Sonic fan game parody on PC. He gets bored, and finds another video game, Ed Hunter. He starts playing it, but is distracted by a crow that brings a note, where it is said that Lisa Fremont, Scrat's owner, has been kidnapped. Scrat starts getting rage, and throwing things like baseball bat and a stuffed lion cub, and eventually breaks the window and bites the crow. It screams, transforms into a monster, and starts chasing him around the house. Then it throws Scrat in to a microwave, which explodes and transports him to the Ice Age. Shocked and frustrated, Scrat starts looking for the way home, only to find his chasing his long-awaited acorn on the other side of a chasm. He clambers across a thin twig to reach the other side, only to find his acorn has disappeared. He hides behind a tree and looks round the side, and then he first sees Scratte, and falls in love. However, he is snapped out of his trance when Scratte holds the acorn. It seems that it was purchased by Scratte during Scrat's three-year absence. He comes out from behind the tree, and takes the acorn from Scratte. However, she starts crying, and Scrat turns round to give it back, but he can't let go. Then they fight over the acorn, and it ends in Scrat accidentally throwing Scratte into the chasm. He jumps in after her, and they both hold on to the acorn. Then Scratte takes the acorn and glides up using her flaps of skin, and Scrat falls to the ground.

Later on, he and Scratte fight again, and they fall in a tar pit, along with the acorn. Then they all come out in bubbles. At first, Scrat and Scratte are in the same bubble, but they quickly pull apart, into two bubbles, with the acorn in a third. Scratte then spins her bubble, causing it to go higher, with the acorn, but when Scrat tries this he only goes lower. Instead, he rams into the top of the bubble, sending it up in short bursts. Then he and Scratte bump each other's bubbles, trying to get to the acorn first. In the end, Scrat gets it, but ends up falling into Dino World.

He is next seen in Dino World, where the tar has glued him to a tree, out of reach of the acorn. He just manages to stretch and reach it, but consequently, the trees falls on him, and then falls off a ledge. Scratte then finds him and turns the tree round, revealing that the tar had stuck the acorn to his chest. Then she rips the acorn off, taking Scrat's chest fur with it.

However, when Scrat and Scratte are dangling over a lava river, Scrat uses the unconscious Scratte as a grappling hook to save them both. When Scratte wakes up, she realises Scrat has saved her life, and they fall in love.

At the end of the film Scrat managed to escape to the Iron Maiden world with the acorn through a hole in the ice, trying to reach home before they let his owner Lisa out. After his long way and numerous obstacles, the supernatural squirrel almost succeeds at the end, but is torn away again. He unhappily wakes up in the Ice Age, having been brought round by Sid, who he proceeds to viciously attack.
