Disney nearly loses rights to Blue Sky Studios' mascot, Scrat

Ivy Supersonic is the person who made up the idea of the character Scrat. She thought of a hybrid of a squirrel and a rat, and she later named the character, Sqrat. However 20th Century Fox had used the idea of the character for their new movie Ice Age and renamed the character, Scrat. As of 2013, Scrat became the new mascot of Blue Sky Studios, due to his popularity in the Ice Age franchise.

Scrat was a central character in Ice Age and became the icon of the franchise, appearing in all five Ice Age movies from Blue Sky Studios. Scrat was known for his obsession with acorns and unlucky attempts to get his own acorn.

Supersonic claimed that Blue Sky Studios stole the idea of her character, After Blue Sky Studios got shut down, Supersonic finally claimed the rights to her character. Because of this, Scrat failed to appear in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.

However, on February 22, 2022, it was announced that the Scrat Tales would release on Disney+ on April 13, 2022, with this information thankfully confirming that Disney did not lose the rights to the character.
