Get Squirrely (also distributed as A.C.O.R.N.S.: Operation Crack Down) is a 2016 American animated heist comedy film produced by John H. Williams (through Vanguard Animation[2]) and Dan Krech[3] and directed by Ross Venokur.[2][3] Released on November 4, 2016, the film was Vanguard Animation's first theatrically released feature film since 2010's Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back to avoid competition with 2014's The Nut Job. However, the film received mixed reviews.

Plot

Frankie (Jason Jones), a smooth-talking squirrel, finds out that acorns are being stolen by the evil A.C.O.R.N.S. Corporation. Now he must assemble a rag-tag team of forest animals with only three days to pull off their biggest heist yet.
