Ice Age 4 trailer: Scrat does ‘The Artist’...

Bringing back memories of last year’s Muppet parody trailer (sure they weren’t the first, but let’s face it, they are the best) The  Ice Age 4 people have put one of the most popular characters in modern movies (Scrat  the nut obsessed squirrel thing) into a Black & White, silent trailer; mimicking the multi-award winning / nominated film The Artist. (Is this movie silent? =–The Muppets is the movie in Swedish? )

This film is going to e huge, many adults and Americans may not understand it, but the films have grown in popularity film by film and remain extremely popular with kids around the world; The international gross increasing at least $230m per film so far, even as the North American takings remained static.. Empire Magazine even has the film ahead of The Amazing Spider-Man (which is a risk anyway) and The Avengers as the likely number 2 film of this summer season.

Synopsis...

“Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.”
