Ice Age: Scrat Tales has a new poster showing its titular character and his new infant son. The six-part series of animated shorts is coming to Disney+ on April 13, just a few months after the feature film, Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild, premiered on the streaming platform. Scrat Tales will continue following the misadventures of the saber-toothed squirrel as he seeks to find and protect his beloved acorns. Chris Wedges is returning to voice the role, with Karl Wahlgren playing Baby Scrat. So far, no other voice actors or characters have been announced.
Scrat has become one of the most popular characters from Ice Age since appearing in the first film in 2002, and the next four films after that. When Scrat did not appear in Buck Wild, the first Ice Age film to drop on Disney+ since the studio's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, some reports circulated that Disney had lost the rights to Scrat and opted to discontinue use of the character. With the announcement of Scrat Tales, however, that appears not to be the case.

The new Ice Age: Scrat Tales poster is like a parody of The Lion King, showing Scrat hoisting an acorn into the air, while his infant son holds tightly onto the coveted nut. With the tagline, "The nut doesn't fall far from the tree," Disney+ hints that the sabre-toothed squirrel's offspring will share the same obsessions as his father. Check out the poster below.
