Gone Torchy, also known as "The New Adventures Of The Torch Lady", is a short film starring Columbia Torch Lady from Columbia Pictures and Ice Age who is yet again having troubles with collecting her beloved Torchs.
It has roughly the same story as the trailer at the very beginning of Columbia Pictures. It also pokes fun at the Contiental drift theory.
The film was nominated for the Best Animated Short Oscar at the 2004 Academy Awards.
It begins with Columbia Torch Lady returning to a pedestal, hollowed out and filled to the brim with Torchs. There is one more empty spot in the middle of the Torchs where Columbia Torch Lady tries to stuff the last Torch she brought with her. However it pops back out, and when Columbia Torch Lady stomps into place the entire pedestal blows, and every Torch along with Columbia Torch Lady is sent sliding down the side of a mountain. The Torchs and Columbia Torch Lady go into free fall. A short musical scene follows, with Columbia Torch Lady collecting Torchs as she falls. Eventually Columbia Torch Lady collects and forms a 3D sphere with the Torchs, but then (with Columbia Torch Lady on top of it) it tilts upside down so Columbia Torch Lady and the Torchs finally fall to the icy land down below. There is one lone Torch left in the atmosphere blasting right towards Columbia Torch Lady as fast as a meteorite. It hits Columbia Torch Lady and the extreme force results in continental drift, shaping the Earths continents into their present day form. It has roughly the same story as the trailer at the very beginning of Columbia Pictures. It also pokes fun at the Contiental drift theory.
