No Time for Nuts 

Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel (a fictional animal from the Ice Age film series), while trying to find a

place to hide his acorn, finds a buried time machine next to the ice-encased skeletal body of a human

time traveler that looks like Einstein. He accidentally activates the machine, sending the acorn away.

Scrat gets mad and tries to beat up the time machine and it sends him to the  Middle Ages. Finding the

acorn wedged under a rock, Scrat sees the Sword in the Stone and decides to use it as a lever to move

the rock. He pulls out the sword but then finds himself under attack by a group of unseen archers, and

uses the sword to block the arrows fired by the archers. He frees the acorn and takes it and the time

machine and races off to find cover, only to hide in the barrel of a cannon. The cannon fires him into the

path of hundreds of incoming arrows. The time machine teleports the acorn mid-flight and Scrat just

barely manages to activate the machine again for himself.

He materializes in an arena in  Ancient Rome. Scrat reaches for his acorn, but is dragged off when his tail

is caught on a passing chariot. Scrat manages to free himself just as a fanfare sounds. He thinks it is

victory music and introduces himself to the crowd like a triumphant gladiator , proudly holding up his

acorn. Then he hears the growl of a lion coming from the tunnel behind him. He activates the time

machine again, and lands on a field of ice. He is overjoyed, thinking he is home, but he soon learns he's

really in 1912 when he sees the RMS Titanic heading straight towards him. The time machine is activated

after impact, and Scrat finds himself in the first Ice Age movie, where he encounters himself and fights

himself for his acorn. (Manny, Sid, Diego, and Roshan made a cameo watching the fight.) The acorn is

teleported again, much to the distress of both Scrats.

The time traveling Scrat is then sent to many dangerous situations where he would have been killed if he

had not activated the time machine in time; under a launching rocket, in a dark jewellery store, in a girl's

locker room (where he is hit by a roller brush). in the French Revolution (where he appears under the

falling blade of a guillotine), during Benjamin Franklin's kite flying experiment and gets zapped by lighting,in front of a wrecking ball, in front of the Hiroshima, on the tracks of a steam locomotive and in front

of  Michelangelo's David  (this actually isn't dangerous but Scrat still displays discomfort). Frustrated, Scrat

punches the machine, which sends him into a strange realm of floating timepieces. Scrat spots his acorn

and grabs it, just before being drawn into a wormhole along with his acorn and the time machine.

The wormhole lands Scrat in front of an enormous oak tree. Overjoyed at the sight of so many acorns, he

tosses away his own acorn, which lands on and activates the time machine. Before it can fire again, Scrat

smashes the time machine. Scrat attempts to remove the nuts from the tree, but soon discovers that it is

only a sculpture, with a plaque on it reading "Here Stood the Last Oak Tree." Scrat realizes he's in the far 

future, where oak trees (and acorns) are extinct. He realizes that the acorn he brought with him is the only

real one around. He makes a dash for it, but the time machine manages to fire one last time, transportingthe acorn right out of his paws right before the time machine collapsed into pieces. Stranded in the acorn-

less future, Scrat lets out a scream of frustration, ending the film.

Then the lost acorn ends up floating behind the credits of the film.
