Thank you, from the bottom of our collective Blue Sky hearts, for being with us all these years." The studios took the time to make one last clip to say goodbye. Blue Sky Studios, the makers of the Ice Age films, closed its doors in 2021.

A team of Blue Sky staffers has released a final animated short as a way of saying farewell to the fans after the studio's shutdown.

It’s truly the end of an era for Blue Sky Studios, but for the talented and hard-working people that made it something special, it’s an unforgettable chapter in an ongoing story. What makes this short so memorable, and bittersweet, is that it’s a perfect bookend to the very first shot from a Blue Sky Studios feature film, 2002’s Ice Age. Twenty years ago, audiences were introduced to the sabertoothed squirrel as he trotted on screen for the first time and began looking for a spot to hide his acorn. The Ice Age itself should have a presence. Since his introduction, audiences were hooked on the little squirrel/rat as he faced all levels of bad luck and adversaries. The little guy has struggled with glaciers, lightning, crumbling earth, and just about every representative of the elements has been against him. A year after Blue Sky Studios was officially shut down, the studio released one final hurrah.

Blue Sky released 13 movies over the years, but its most famous work was the Ice Age series. Fox's animation studio Blue Sky, which created the famous Ice Age series, was shut down as part of Disney's buyout.

And through it all, for two decades, a so-ugly-he's-cute saber-toothed squirrel has been trying to get his grubby mitts on an acorn. Through teaser trailers, ...
