While one chilling detail can help to create a movie thriller, several chilling details can create a thrilling Guinness World Records™ record for the Largest ice sculpture on the planet!

Over the course of a half week, a team of 14 Ice Bulb LLC ice sculptors used - according to event sources - over 60,327 kg (133,000 lb) of ice, gathered from across four U.S. States, to build the sculpture in the likeness of Ice Age's Scrat character.

The sculpture was built in approximartely 2000 man hours on the outdoor ice rink 'ICE at Downtown Santa Monica', to coincide with the release of the 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' Blu-day disc and DVD release.

Guinness World Records™ adjudicator Danny Girton Jr. was on hand to authenticate the record, after speaking with Ice Bulb project manager Marc Entin and civil engineer Paul Chretien about the ice sculpture’s construction and physical dimensions.
