Scrat Breaks Pangaea

Scrat pursues a single acorn into Earth's interior, shifts the planet's core while chasing it, and accidentally breaks Pangaea into the modern continents.

A perfectly stable narrow objective gains enormous leverage with no penalty for externalities—the paperclip maximizer compressed into one silent slapstick sequence.

The physics are intentionally impossible, and Scrat does not strategically seek power or understand the consequences.
